Gill has now responded to the rumors with a surprising reaction. He took to Instagram to share a photo of himself and Hardik, saying “love is all that matters” and telling fans not to believe everything on the internet. He even tagged Hardik in the post.
So, what sparked this controversy? A video from the match went viral, showing Gill walking away without shaking hands with Hardik during the toss. To make matters worse, Hardik was seen celebrating Gill’s wicket with a lot of enthusiasm. Gill had scored just 1 run before getting out.
