A brief moment during the toss of the IPL 2025 Eliminator between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians sparked social media chatter, with many fans questioning whether Shubman Gill snubbed Hardik Pandya’s handshake. However, a second video from a different angle has now emerged, showing that the two Indian stars did, in fact, shake hands after the toss, clearing up much of the confusion. The incident took place just after the coin landed in favour of the Mumbai Indians. As per usual protocol, Hardik Pandya, who won the toss, stepped forward to announce his decision. Shubman Gill was seen walking away, and in the widely circulated clip, Pandya appears to offer his hand while Gill turns his back, a moment that led to quick speculation of an “ego clash” between the two. Is There any Inside Rivalry Going Between Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill after Trading Hardik to MI by GT 🤔🤔🤔#RohitSharma #ViratKohli #KLRahul #IPL2025 #RCB #GTvsMI pic.twitter.com/cw6fMYWVsD — Monish (@Monish09cric) May 30, 2025 The video quickly went viral, with users questioning the dynamic between the India Test captain and the white-ball all-rounder. But another video, shared shortly after, shows the full context. In the alternate angle, Hardik and Gill are seen shaking hands before going to their respective teams. It appears the viral moment only captured a split-second from a longer interaction, missing the actual handshake. This cleared up speculation of any personal tension between the two players, at least during the toss. Bro, shubman shook hands with hardik after toss.
