In a lively IPL 2026 match held in Ahmedabad, Virat Kohli of Royal Challengers Bengaluru playfully teased Shubman Gill of Gujarat Titans after taking his catch, making a 'snake' gesture that went viral on social media. Gill, who was in the dugout after his dismissal, cleverly pointed to the scoreboard, indicating his team's strong position as they chased a target of 156 runs. Gill contributed significantly to the innings, scoring 43 runs off just 18 balls, which helped his team secure a commanding lead. Although Kohli's team fought back to restrict the Titans to 111/5, it was ultimately too late to change the game's outcome. Gill expressed satisfaction with his performance and praised the bowlers for their efforts in keeping the opposition under 160 runs. The friendly rivalry between Kohli and Gill reflects their strong bond, often characterized by competitive yet light-hearted exchanges on the field.
