Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill, in his first season at the helm, had a lighthearted moment at the toss during the Indian Premier League (IPL) match against the Chennai Super Kings.
Gill initially opted to bat after winning the toss but quickly corrected himself, saying, "We are batting first, sorry, we are going to bowl first." The incident drew laughter from commentator Sanjay Manjrekar and may have reminded fans of a similar moment involving India captain Rohit Sharma during an ODI against New Zealand.
