After Gujarat Titans (GT) match against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 was washed out on Thursday, GT captain Shubman Gill’s gesture towards childhood friend and SRH batter Abhishek Sharma’s mother has gone viral over various social media platforms.

As the rain washed out the match, SRH were qualified for the playoffs. Subsequently, Gill went to greet Abhishek’s mother Manju and sister Komal, in the stands at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

The GT skipper Gill kneeled down to touch Abhishek’s mother’s feet before sharing warm smiles and a handshake with Komal.

Gill’s heartwarming gesture has been lauded by several netizens as the video clip went viral over various social media platforms within no time.

Notably, Gill and Abhishek share a great camaraderie as they grew up together playing age-group cricket in Punjab.

Both made their respective first class debuts for Punjab during the 2017 season. They also went on to play together at the U-19 World Cup in 2018, which India won under the leadership of Prithvi Shaw in New Zealand.

Gujarat Titans have failed to enter the playoffs of the ongoing edition of the cash-rich league.
