IPL 2025 | GT stops the MI juggernaut, shoots to the highest of the desk

There have been some spells of rain and plenty of drama on the Wankhede Stadium.

Within the early hours of Wednesday (Might 6, 2025), Gujarat Titans held its nerve and pulled off a three-wicket win towards Mumbai Indians.

Pursuing a goal of 156, GT’s innings was interrupted by two rain breaks, and it required 15 runs off the ultimate over.

However Rahul Tewatia and Gerald Coetzee set the tone with a boundary and a six off Deepak Chahar earlier than a peaceful Arshad Khan took a single off the ultimate supply to information the staff residence.

Regardless of a fiery spell by Jasprit Bumrah, GT left the long-lasting venue with a smile. Bumrah bowled 11 dot balls in his first three overs and eliminated GT captain Shubman Gill and Shahrukh Khan in fast succession to shift the momentum.

However there have been quite a lot of ebbs and flows within the recreation.

GT seemed firmly in management till the 14th over, with 49 runs wanted off 36 balls.

Whereas Gill held fort, Sherfane Rutherford introduced up 28 in two overs earlier than rain halted proceedings. Nonetheless, with Bumrah cleansing up Gill, and Trent Boult dismissing Rutherford, issues went downhill for GT. Bumrah returned to take away Shahrukh.

From cruising comfortably, with Gill and Jos Buttler including 72 runs for the second wicket, GT stuttered earlier than Tewatia and Coetzee turned the tide within the last over.

Opting to bowl, it was a uncommon sloppy fielding present by GT because it dropped as many as three catches within the PowerPlay. And, benefiting from the alternatives, Will Jacks (53, 35b) introduced up his first fifty of the season earlier than the customer pulled issues again to limit MI to 155 for eight.

Titans received the early momentum after Mohammed Siraj dismissed Ryan Rickelton off the second supply earlier than the facet was left pissed off with dropped catches.

Jacks partnered with Suryakumar Yadav to forge a 71-run stand for the third wicket.

However as GT bowlers bounced again, MI was reeling at 123 for seven, after cruising at 97 for 2 at one stage. Had Corbin Bosch not hit a few sixes in Prasidh Krishna’s last over, MI wouldn’t have been capable of breach the 150-mark. All this proved immaterial ultimately.
