Mumbai Indians star Rohit Sharma missed out on a superb playoff century, getting out on 81 against Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2025 Eliminator. MI have reached 206/5 after 18.4 overs, with captain Hardik Pandya at the crease. The winner of this clash will face Punjab Kings, which were thrashed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru by eight wickets in the Qualifier 1 on Thursday. The winner of Qualifier 2 will be up against an upbeat RCB in the IPL 2025 final on Tuesday, July 3.
GT finished third in the points table after winning nine games in 14 league-stage matches. MI, on the other hand, were the last team to qualify for the knockouts and finished fourth with 16 points via eight wins in as many league games.
Match Highlights
Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bat first against Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL) Eliminator at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh on Friday to a place in Qualifier 2. Mohammed Siraj picks Tilak Varma MI four down
Suryakumar Yadav swept one straight to square-leg off Sai Kishore. There have been quite a few times he has been holed out in that region this season. While he remains the best batter for the Mumbai Indians, his getting out in that area quite too often is becoming a trend of sorts. Even at the national level, we have seen sides bowling him to hit in that area and pack with fielders there. Nevertheless that was a good partnership between Rohit and Surya after the initial opening partnership between former and Bairstow. Tilak Varma has walked into the middle, and there is still a bit of time in the innings to build another small partnership before exploding.
