A mistake from the broadcaster took place during the Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, IPL 2025 game at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Friday. On the fourth delivery of the 15th over during GT’s innings, Jaydev Unadkat bowled a short ball wide of off-stump to Washington Sundar. Umpire called it a wide but SRH decided to review it. As they took the DRS (Decision Review System), the broadcaster mistakenly showed the replay for a different ball in which Sundar had made a front foot defence.The mistake from broadcaster left the internet in splits.

The triumvirate of Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler fired in unison with their explosive batting to propel Gujarat Titans to 224 for six against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League in Ahmedabad on Friday.

Gill blazed away to a 38-ball 76, while Sudharsan chipped in with a breezy 23-ball 48 while forging an opening stand of 87 runs in just 6.5 overs, following which Buttler took GT past 200 with his 64 off 37 deliveries.

Jaydev Unadkat (3/35) picked up three wickets in the 20th over that went for 12 runs.

Sent in to bat, skipper Gill got the innings underway for GT when he flicked a loose Mohammed Shami delivery over deep square leg for a six.

Having conceded 11 runs in the first over, Shami looked off-colour as Sudharsan dispatched the seamer for five boundaries, including four on the trot.

SRH captain Pat Cummins brought himself into the attack, but the carnage continued as Gill launched into his opposite number, first greeting him with a cover drive and then playing an even better shot shot through the gap between mid-off and cover.

It was a forgettable start for Cummins as Gill smoked the Australian speedster for a maximum over deep mid-wicket to collect 17 from that over.

The best part of their game was that both Gill and Sudharsan were toying with the SRH bowlers without taking any risks and instead relied on class to get the runs.

GT amassed 82 runs in the power play, following which spin was introduced in the form of Zeeshan Ali and the leg-spinner gave his team a much-needed breakthrough by having Sudharsan caught by keeper Heinrich Klaasen off a googly.

In the company of Buttler, Gill continued at the same pace and reached his half-century with a beautiful drive through extra cover for a four, taking 25 balls to get to his fifty.

Buttler also looked in good nick and smashed Ansari straight down the ground for a six, and three balls later, the Englishman crossed 4000 runs in IPL.

Worse was in store for SRH as Cummins dropped Gill after Harshal Patel deceived the batter with a slower ball. Gill was on 66.

However, the GT captain did not last long thereafter as he was run out following a throw by Harshal at short fine-leg and Klaasen, instead of catching the ball deflected it onto the stumps.

The TV umpire took his time before ruling in favour of SRH.

Buttler then propped up GT with his power-hitting.
