Shubman Gill registered his maiden Indian Premier League century during the Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, Indian Premier League 2023. The youngster fought almost a lone battle and took GT’s total to 188/9 in the first innings. From being 147/1 at the beginning of the 14th over, GT were reduced to 188/9 in 20 overs due to a sensational bowling show by the SRH pacers. 

While Shubman Gill's century received much-deserved applause from his teammates, Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra was seen sitting in the dugout with an expressionless face.

In another video clipping from the match going viral on social media, an animated Nehra can be seen saying something to skipper Hardik Pandya. Reacting to the video, fans pointed out that Nehra clearly looked frustrated during his exchange with Pandya.
