The development came after Gill’s century helped the defending champions Gujarat Titans eliminated Royal Challengers Bangalore from IPL 2023 playoffs.
Shahneel shared a post for brother Shubman after his century following GT’s six-wicket win on Sunday, May 21. She wrote on Instagram:
“An incredible day spent with the most gorgeous people.”
Reacting to the post, several users came up with shameful comments for both siblings.
Shubman Gill among IPL 2023’s leading run-scorers
Shubman Gill has been sensational with the bat in IPL 2023. He has so far amassed 680 runs in 14 games at a strike rate of 152.46, including four half-centuries as GT finished table-toppers with 10 wins in 14 games.
The right-handed batter recently smashed back-to-back tons against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and RCB, becoming only fourth batter after Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, and Jos Buttler to achieve the milestone.
The 23-year-old needs 51 more runs to overtake Faf du Plessis (730 runs in 14 games) and win the Orange Cap.

Shubman Gill will next be seen in action against four-time champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday, May 23.
The Punjab-born batter will now look to guide GT to consecutive finals in their bid to win consecutive IPL trophies. Even if GT lose, they will get another chance to qualify in the final by playing the winner of the Eliminator match between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians.
