Suyash Sharma mocks Shubman Gill after his dismissal (IPL Photo)
New Delhi: In the IPL 2026 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) in Bengaluru on Friday, things got a little heated between spinner Suyash Sharma and Shubman Gill. After taking Gill out, Suyash not only celebrated normally, but copied Gill’s own ‘bow’ celebration, which Gill famously used after knocking RCB out of the playoffs in 2023. Suyash even waved his hat to the crowd, clearly enjoying the moment and returned it to the opposition captain in a playful yet sassy manner.

Gill tried to go big but mistimed his shot and was caught at long off, giving Suyash a key wicket.
The GT captain can only collect 32 balls out of 24.What followed drew more attention than the dismissal itself. Suyash’s imitation of the ‘bow down’ move was a direct response to Gill’s earlier celebration, turning the moment into a bit of on-field banter. The audience at Chinnaswamy loved this drama, as it added an extra edge to the already intense confrontation.He watches:
