After Gujarat Titans defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Wednesday, captain Shubman Gill captivated fans with a mysterious social media post. Gill posted a seven-word message on social media after the win. The GT captain posted on X with the message, "Eyes on the game, not the noise."

The star batter did not offer an explanation, but a few of social media users believed that the "noise" was a reference to Virat Kohli's post-dismissal celebrations.

Gill praised his team's bowling efforts in the first seven to eight overs, which helped them take early wickets, as his team defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Wednesday.

RCB lost by eight wickets at the beginning of their home run against GT after two away victories and two games that made a big impression against the reigning champion Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the five-time champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK). GT put on a brilliant display with both bat and ball.

Gill said during the post-match presentation, "We have seen on this ground, that restricting them to 170 was a good effort. The wicket has something in it sometimes; you can score 250 as well as get early wickets, there was something for the fast bowlers in the first 7-8 overs and we knew if we pick early wickets then we are in the game. You are disappointed (on his team's dropped catches), but you need to keep coming back and grab the next opportunity. We batted professionally, considering the wicket. It is all about adapting to the situation and playing according to that."
