Gill caught off guard by Danny Morrison’s cheeky marriage query on live TV

Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill seemingly felt out of place during the pre-match broadcast ahead of the IPL 2025 clash between Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on Monday.

During the customary toss conversation, renowned commentator Danny Morrison, known for his playful on-air demeanour, threw a cheeky question at the young skipper. With a grin, Morrison asked, “You`re looking good, wedding bells around the corner? Getting married soon?”

The question, clearly intended in jest, momentarily unsettled Gill. Caught off guard by the personal query, the 24-year-old cricketer shifted his posture uneasily before offering a nervous chuckle. “No, nothing like that,” Gill responded with a laugh, trying to maintain composure as he brushed aside the comment.

While the exchange drew light-hearted chuckles from the commentary box and amused a section of the live audience, it also triggered a wave of criticism from cricket fans across social media. Many viewers took to various platforms to express their disapproval of Morrison’s line of questioning, suggesting that personal matters should be kept out of pre-match coverage and that the focus should remain firmly on the game.

Despite the offbeat interaction, Gill remains a central figure in Gujarat Titans’ campaign this season. He has compiled 215 runs in seven matches at an impressive average of 35.83, boasting a strike rate of 149.30. His performances include two half-centuries, with a best of 61 not out, demonstrating both consistency and class at the top of the order.

Under Gill’s leadership, the Titans have been formidable, securing five wins in their opening seven matches. Their most recent triumph came against Delhi Capitals on April 19, where they chased down a modest target with seven wickets in hand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. With 10 points and a healthy net run rate of +0.984, Gujarat currently sit atop the IPL 2025 table.

Gill dazzled with a superb 90 off just 55 deliveries, punctuated by 10 boundaries and 3 towering sixes, setting the tone in the first innings. His elegant knock was complemented by Sai Sudharsan, who played a crucial supporting role with a fluent 52 off 36 balls.

Together, the duo forged a formidable 114-run opening stand, their fourth century-plus partnership as a pair, and the fifth such stand in Gujarat Titans’ history. Their composed yet aggressive approach gave GT a rock-solid platform and underlined the growing synergy between the two at the top of the order.
