He had already raced to 43 from just 18 balls, displaying a strong rhythm against the bowling. The Gujarat Titans captain had set the tempo early as well, striking a boundary and a maximum off Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the opening over, before taking on Josh Hazlewood for 24 runs in a single over.<\/p>\n<p>As the innings accelerated, Gill also reached a personal milestone\u2014he became the first batter to hit 100 sixes for Gujarat Titans. For a stretch, it seemed like he would keep driving the chase forward with ease.<\/p>\n<h2>Kohli\u2019s catch, the celebration, and the momentum swing<\/h2>\n<p>That control changed quickly. Bhuvneshwar responded with a length delivery as Gill came charging down the pitch, striking it hard. However, the ball ended up finding Kohli at cover, and the RCB star reacted sharply, taking a clean catch by reverse-cupping the fast-moving ball near his neck.<\/p>\n<p>What came next was pure Kohli. He threw the ball onto the ground in celebration, turned towards Gill, and mouthed a fired-up \u201ccome on,\u201d clearly fueled by the moment. The emotion underscored how dangerous Gill had looked\u2014he was threatening to take the match away with momentum on his side.<\/p>\n<p>Kohli\u2019s excitement didn\u2019t end there. Shortly after the wicket, he glanced at the big screen replay of his reaction and smiled broadly, showing he was genuinely enjoying the occasion.<\/p>\n<h2>Earlier fire with the fourth umpire<\/h2>\n<p>The animated celebration also followed another heated moment involving Kohli earlier in the same match. He had been part of a tense exchange with the fourth umpire concerning a controversial catch by Jason Holder that dismissed Rajat Patidar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virat
