Highlights:

Shubman Gill scored 76 runs at a strike rate of 200.

Abhishek Sharma tried to calm down Gill as he wasn't happy with umpires' decision.

Gujarat Titans beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 38 runs.

Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill was not pleased with the umpires' decisions in the clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on May 2. After complaining about the run out which prevented him from scoring a century, Gill was not happy with the DRS call as SRH opener Abhishek Sharma was given not out on the basis of part of the ball ball pitching outside the leg stump. 

As Prasidh Krishna's yorker hit Abhishek on his boot, he asked for the physio. Meanwhile, Gill was having an animated conversation with the umpire. Two two umpires tried to explain it to Gill but he wasn't convinced. In the end, Abhishek asked Gill to calm down. 

GT retained their review as the DRS did not show where the ball was pitched but the point of impact and wickets. The decision did not have any affect on the game's outcome as SRH were far too behind the required run rate. Abhishek was batting on 69 when he got a reprieve. In the next over, he was dismissed by Ishant Sharma. The opener scored 74 runs from 41 balls, including four fours and six sixes.

After the comprehensive win, Gill opened up about his altercation with the umpires. 

"There was a little bit of a discussion with me and the umpire, sometimes there are so many emotions involved as you give your 110 percent, there are bound to be some emotions," he said in the post-match presentation.
