Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill has put an end to swirling rumours of a rift with Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya following a viral video from the IPL 2025 Eliminator.On the evening of May 31, Gill took to Instagram to share photos of himself smiling with Pandya, accompanied by a clear message: “Nothing but love. (Don’t believe everything you see on the internet) @hardikpandya93. ”The story, though brief, was enough to calm fans and dismiss speculation that the two Indian stars were not on good terms. Gill’s post served as a public clarification that there is mutual respect between the two players and that the perceived tension may have been exaggerated online.The controversy began after a video clip from the toss went viral on social media. In the footage, Hardik Pandya extended his hand for a shake, but Gill appeared to walk past without acknowledging it. The clip immediately drew attention, with many interpreting it as a deliberate snub.Adding to the drama, when Gill was dismissed early in the match for just 1 run, Pandya was seen celebrating animatedly, further fuelling the narrative.However, Gill’s calm and composed response on social media has seemingly ended the speculation.
