In the IPL 2024 match between Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals on April 17, Shubman Gill’s team suffered a heavy six-wicket defeat. Gill himself scored only eight runs before GT was bundled out for 89 runs. Delhi Capitals chased down the target with ease, winning with more than 11 overs to spare.

The interesting part is that earlier in the game, the same fangirl had caught the attention of many cricket fans, with some noting her striking resemblance to Cuban-based Hollywood actress Ana de Armas.

Meanwhile, after the match, Shubman Gill expressed his disappointment on the defeat. Gill didn’t blame the pitch, saying it was his team’s poor shot choices that led to their collapse. He said:
“Our batting performance was very average,” Gill, who was out for 8, said at the post-match presentation. “I think the wicket was alright, to be honest. If you see our dismissals, the ball I got out to had nothing to do with the pitch. Even the way Wriddhi [Wriddhiman Saha] bhai got out had nothing to do with the pitch, and Sai [Sudharsan] got run out. So I don’t think it had anything to do with the pitch. Just a bad batting performance and poor shot selection, I would say.”
This was GT’s second instance in the IPL where their batting line-up faltered. Previously, they were dismissed for 130 runs while chasing a target of 164 against LSG. Gill expressed his disappointment, noting that the low score didn’t give their bowlers an opportunity to make an impact in the match. He said:
“When the opposition are chasing 89, unless someone takes a double hat-trick, the opposition will always be in the game.”
“This is just the halfway mark of the season for us, we have won 3 and hopefully we win another 5-6 from the next 7 like in the last couple of years,” he concluded.
