In a high-octane IPL 2025 Eliminator, Mumbai Indians posted a formidable 228/5 against Gujarat Titans. Veteran opener Rohit Sharma dazzled with a 81-run knock, while debutant Jonny Bairstow gave MI a flying start in the powerplay. Captain Hardik Pandya delivered a late cameo to seal MI’s highest playoff total this season. GT, led by Shubman Gill, now face a challenging chase to stay in the tournament. The winner of this must-win clash will advance to face Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2. MI also introduced three debutants — Bairstow, Richard Gleeson, and Raj Bawa — adding fresh firepower to their lineup. (PC: BCCI)
