Shubman GillGujarat Titans captain, was stumped by a question at the toss ahead of the IPL 2025 match against Kolkata Knight Riders in Kolkata on Monday. Former cricketer Danny Morrison, who was at the toss, asked him a strange question: “You’re looking good, wedding bells around the corner? Getting married soon?” Stumped by the question, Gill started blushing and then replied: “No.” Then he went on to add, “Nothing like that.” The question soon went viral on social media and some social media users did not like it.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have brought in Rahmanullah gurbaz and Moeen Alias captain Ajinkya rahane won the toss and elected to bowl first against table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) in match 39 of IPL 2025 at the Eden Gardens on Monday. While GT, the IPL 2022 winners, are comfortably placed at top of the points table via five wins from seven matches, defending champions KKR are at seventh position with three wins and four losses in seven games. Moreover, GT lead the head-to-head record against KKR by 2-1.
Gurbaz and Moeen come in place of South Africa duo Quinton de Kock and Anrich nortjewith Angkrish raghuvanshi set to come in during the chase as an impact player. “The pitch looks on the drier side, and when we bowl we want to see how it is behaving.”
“It is a chasing ground. We spoke after the last game. The players are working very hard. There is a motivation to go up the ladder. I am positive about all players. Not too worried about middle-order,” said Rahane after winning the toss.
GT skipper Shubman Gill said he doesn’t expect for dew to come later in the match. “Don’t think there will be any dew. So it should be a good game. The way we have been bowling has been great. We have been contributing with wickets. The skill set that he (Rashid Khan, GT vice-captain) brings with his bowling has been great.”
