IPL 2025: Shubman Gill Pulls Off Cheeky Nutmeg On Teammate During Practice Session Ahead Of DC Vs GT Clash; Video
Gujarat Titans’ captain Shubman Gill gave his teammates something to smile about during a light-hearted moment at the Narendra Modi Stadium, as he cheekily nutmegged one of his fellow players during a break in the team’s training session. The playful incident occurred ahead of Gujarat Titans’ high-stakes encounter against Delhi Capitals, scheduled for May 18 at 7:30 PM at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
The nutmeg—a popular football move in which the ball is played between an opponent’s legs—drew laughter and applause from those present, briefly lifting the mood amid an intense training session. Gill, known for his calm demeanor and elegant strokeplay on the cricket field, showed he has quick feet and flair off it as well.
The Titans, currently regrouping after a week-long suspension of the Indian Premier League due to escalating war tensions between India and Pakistan, are looking to refocus and find momentum as the tournament resumes. The pause in the league offered players a chance to reset but also disrupted rhythm across teams. Moments like Gill’s nutmeg not only eased pressure but also displayed the team’s camaraderie and relaxed spirit despite the high-stakes environment.
