That friendly electricity was on full display after Gujarat Titans beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday, and it was Gill\u2019s Instagram post after the final ball that best captured the \u201cKing\u201d and \u201cPrince\u201d rapport between the two Indian stars.<\/p>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Gujarat Titans secured a convincing win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday.<\/li>\n<li>Kohli celebrated Gill\u2019s dismissal in an intense, aggressive manner during the match.<\/li>\n<li>Gill and Kohli were seen having a conversation after the game, likely linked to Kohli\u2019s exchange with the fourth umpire over a controversial catch involving Jason Holder.<\/li>\n<li>After the match, Gill mocked RCB\u2019s \u201cPlay Bold\u201d tagline on Instagram while sharing a photo of Kohli.<\/li>\n<li>Gill credited the bowling unit for keeping RCB below 160 and said the fielding improved at key phases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Gill, Kohli and the playful after-match chemistry<\/h2>\n<p>Even with the competitive edge of IPL cricket, Gill and Kohli have maintained a rapport that fans often notice. During the game, Kohli marked Gill\u2019s dismissal with a fiery celebration, the kind of moment that usually sparks tension\u2014but it didn\u2019t. Instead, the two were spotted talking after the match, suggesting the exchange on the field had not soured the relationship.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation appeared to be connected to Kohli\u2019s confrontation with the fourth umpire regarding a contentious catch taken by Gujarat Titans\u2019 Jason Holder. In the same way that teammates and opponents can swap words in high-pressure situations, Gill and Kohli seemed to put the incident into perspective once the contest was over.<\/p>\n<h2>Instagram jibe and Gill\u2019s post-match thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Gill then took the interaction off the field through social media. After the win, he posted on Instagram with a dig at RCB\u2019s \u201cPlay Bold\u201d branding, pairing it with a picture of Kohli. His caption leaned into the theme of boldness, while also keeping the tone firmly in the realm of friendly banter.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the post-match presentation, Gill said he was satisfied with how the team managed the chase pressure by limiting the opposition to under 160 runs on a good batting surface. He also reflected on his own batting mindset, explaining that he felt \u201cin the zone\u201d and wanted to take on the bowlers rather than play passively.<\/p>\n<p>Gill highlighted Rahul Tewatia\u2019s role in getting the job done, calling him a crucial player and praising the finishing impact he had. At the same time, Gill acknowledged that the team lost a few more wickets than they would have wanted, but he pointed to positive contributions from across the batting order.<\/p>\n<p>He also evaluated the team\u2019s fielding, saying it was not uniformly sharp throughout, but that the energy in the field improved in phases. Wrapping up, Gill reiterated how the bowling performance and key moments in the game delivered a highly satisfying result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shubman Gill and Virat
