After winning the toss, MI skipper Hardik Pandya decided to bat first. Rohit came out to open the innings with Jonny Bairstow, who was playing his first game in this edition and also making his debut for MI. Both of them managed a good start, adding 84 runs in 7.2 overs for the first wicket.

Let’s take a look at GT’s Chase

In reply, it was a disastrous start for GT as they lost their captain, Shubman Gill, for just one run in the first over. Then, on his IPL debut, Kusal Mendis came out to bat and looked in good touch until his innings came to an end at 20 runs off 10 balls. It was unfortunate that he, on his debut, got out hit-wicket.

Then, at number four, Washington Sundar played a blinder of an innings, scoring 48 off 24 and stitching an 84-run partnership for the third wicket with Sudharsan. Things were looking under control as long as Sudharsan was there, but he got out on 80 off 49.

After that, Sherfane Rutherford (24 off 15), Rahul Tewatia (16* off 11), and M. Shahrukh Khan (13 off seven) tried their best, but it was not enough to reach the mammoth target of 229, as GT managed only 208/6 in 20 overs.

For MI, Trent Boult bagged two wickets, while Jasprit Bumrah, Richard Gleeson, Mitchell Santner, and Ashwani Kumar took one wicket each. With this result, GT’s journey in IPL 2025 came to an end, while MI will now play against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Qualifier 2 in Ahmedabad on 1 June.
