During the GT vs SRH in IPL 2025, Shubman Gill, the captain of Gujarat Titans, found himself at the centre of attention in a high-profile controversy. This could result in a one-day ban for the captain, so let’s look at the possibilities.
What Triggered Shubman Gill’s Outburst?
In the 13th over of GT’s innings, Gill was run out after a tight call at the striker’s end. The third empire rules him out, marking the end of his stunning innings where he scored 76 runs in 38 balls.
However, Gill was visibly stunned at the decision, and after the dugout, he was seen exchanging a heated conversation with the TV umpire. Later, during SRH’s chase, he was again involved in an argument with the on-field umpires over a DRS call. These actions could possibly land him a one-day ban from the upcoming matches, affecting the team’s rankings and performance.
Why Could Shubman Gill Get A One-Day Ban?
Shubman Gill’s argument with the umpires and display of visible dissent behaviour breaches Article 2.8 of the IPL Code of Conduct, which covers showing dissent at an umpire’s decision. The IPL takes strict action against such behaviours, and as we all know, the IPL 2025 season has seen countless bans and fines. It wouldn’t be surprising if Gill is also served with a ban, especially since he was involved in not one but two serious breaches.
What Would It Mean For The Team?
A one-match ban for Shubman Gill would be a significant blow for the Gujarat Titans. As captain and their most consistent batter, his absence could disrupt the team’s performance. What makes it even more crucial is the GT’s current position in the points table. As of now, the team sits in second position with 14 points but needs 16 points to secure a spot in the playoffs. His absence could result in the loss of the upcoming match scheduled for 6 May.
The game is also significant due to the clash with MI. Both MI and GT need one win to secure their positions in the playoffs, and his absence could give MI an advantage. The team would also need a new captain, which could further unsettle the squad in such a crucial phase of the IPL 2025.
Shubman Gill’s outburst with match officials has definitely put him at risk of a one-match ban under the IPL Code of Conduct. Whatever the panel decides, we will keep you updated, so stay tuned!
