Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, face Mumbai Indians in a crucial IPL 2025 Eliminator match.
In a high-pressure IPL 2025 Eliminator match, Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans will play against Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians.
Despite making it to play-offs, both teams have not been in their best form and are facing team problems. Gujarat played well at the start of the season but has performed poorly in the last few games, giving away over 450 runs in just two matches.
Bowlers like Mohammed Siraj and Arshad Khan have not taken early wickets, and even star spinner Rashid Khan has not made much impact. With Jos Buttler missing, Gujarat’s batting depends mainly on Gill and Sai Sudharsan.
Mumbai Indians also have issues. Foreign players like Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks have left the team, and Jonny Bairstow, who may open the batting, is not in good form. Except for Suryakumar Yadav, who has scored more than 600 runs this season, the rest of the Mumbai batting line-up has not been consistent. However, Mumbai’s bowling is very strong, with top bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, and Mitchell Santner.
Both teams are under pressure, and only the winner will move on to the next round (Qualifier 2). The loser will be out of the tournament. This match is very important and could decide the future of both captains—Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya.
