Gujarat Titans’ coach Ashish Nehra’s signal to their players went viral during the IPL 2025 clash against the SunRisers Hyderabad on Friday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The former India pacer’s hand gestures to the pace bowlers was captured on camera as a video of the same surfaced on social media.
The incident occurred during the sixth over of the innings when the SunRisers were 56/1, with Mohammed Siraj walking back to the mark after bowling a delivery. Nevertheless, it was unclear what Nehra was trying to gesture the players.

Gujarat Titans return to winning ways after beating SunRisers Hyderabad comprehensively
A few days after 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s 35-ball 100 blew the Titans away in Jaipur despite scoring 209, the Gujarat-based franchise have bounced back exceptionally well, beating the SunRisers by 38 runs. With Pat Cummins opting to bowl first after winning the toss, Titans’ openers Shubman Gill and B Sai Sudharsan got them off to a rollicking toss with a 87-run stand only in 7.5 overs. Jos Buttler also continued his sensational run, slamming 64 off only 37 balls as the Titans amassed 224/6 in 20 overs.
In reply, only Abhishek Sharma was the standout performer for the SunRisers, scoring 74 off 41 balls as the tourists were eventually restricted to only 186/6. While the loss further hit SunRisers’ playoff hopes, the Titans’ victory propelled them to the second spot.
