Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) star batsman Virat Kohli is known for his energetic and passionate celebrations on the field. Whether it's his aggressive batting, sharp fielding, or intense wicket celebrations, Kohli always grabs attention. A similar moment occurred during the IPL 2025 match between Gujarat Titans (GT) and RCB.

In the 14th match of IPL 2025, Gujarat Titans dominated RCB with an 8-wicket victory at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB batted first and managed to score 169 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. In response, Gujarat Titans chased down the target in just 17.5 overs, losing only 2 wickets.
After the match, GT captain Shubman Gill posted a cryptic message on X (formerly Twitter), which quickly went viral. His post read, "Eyes on the game, not on the noise." This 7-word caption sparked controversy, with fans speculating that Gill was subtly mocking Virat Kohli.
During the match, Kohli celebrated Gill’s dismissal with great enthusiasm. When Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed Gill, pictures of Kohli’s loud celebration started trending on social media. Soon after, Gill’s post on X led many fans to believe that he was referring to Kohli’s on-field behavior.
