Did Shubman Gill just throw shade at Virat Kohli? That’s the question buzzing across social media after

the Gujarat Titans (GT) captain posted a mysterious message on X following his team’s commanding 8-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 2, 2025.

Breaking his social media silence, Gill wrote, “Eyes on the game, not the noise.” The succinct seven-word update from the GT skipper came right after his team outclassed RCB, but fans quickly latched onto its cryptic vibe—especially the phrase “not the noise.” Was it a jab at the roaring Chinnaswamy crowd? A subtle dig at Kohli’s fiery on-field antics? Or even a response to the online trolling his sister faced?

Fans didn’t hesitate to connect the dots, with many pointing fingers at Kohli. Some replies on X referenced Kohli’s animated reaction when Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed Gill earlier in the match, complete with photos of the RCB star celebrating.

“Context: Virat Kohli was making too much noise when Bhuvi got Shubman Gill out,” several users noted, fueling speculation of a brewing rivalry. Whether it’s a pointed retort or just a captain’s reflection, Gill’s post has ignited a fan frenzy online.
