Shubman Gill perishes cheaply to a suicidal run-out as Karun Nair produces a direct hit in GT vs DC IPL 2025 match [Watch]

Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill departed cheaply in their IPL 2025 match against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, April 19. The right-handed batter fell prey to a suicidal run-out, perishing for just seven runs off five deliveries.

The dismissal came in the second over of GT’s chase. Gill played a length ball off Mukesh Kumar towards mid-wicket and set off for a single. There was no run on offer, but Gill ran way too far down the pitch to return despite no interest from his opening partner, Sai Sudharsan, at the non-striker’s end. Karun Nair collected the ball before taking an aim at the stumps. He produced a direct hit at the wicketkeeper’s end, and it was curtains for Gill.

Watch the video below:

This was the first instance where Shubman Gill departed via run-out after the IPL 2022 qualifier 1 against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Eden Gardens.
