When Shubman Gill speaks—or types—the cricket world listens. And after Gujarat Titans' dominant 82-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026, the GT captain had the internet in stitches with a single Instagram post.
"Dil abhi bhi sache, aur ghar bhi kache," Gill wrote, and fans immediately knew what he was referencing. It was a callback to a playful exchange on Star Sports, where Gill had jokingly asked SRH star Abhishek Sharma when Hyderabad last beat Gujarat. When Abhishek admitted it had been a while, Gill delivered the now-famous punchline: "SRH tab last jeeti thi jab ghar kache, aur dil sache hote the."
Fast forward to the present, and history repeated itself in Ahmedabad. The Titans' bowling attack was relentless, with Kagiso Rabada and Jason Holder each grabbing three wickets as SRH crumbled for just 86 in 14.5 overs. Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj also chipped in, ensuring Hyderabad's star-studded lineup never got going.
Earlier, it was Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar who laid the foundation for victory. Sudharsan's 61 off 44 balls and Sundar's composed 50 from 33 deliveries guided GT to 168/5 on a tricky surface. Nishant Sindhu's quick 22 provided the finishing touch.
For fans, the win was sweet—but Gill's social media timing was even sweeter. The post has already gone viral, adding another chapter to the growing rivalry between these two teams.
