At the crease now, we have Tilak Varma and Ryan Rickelton trying to stabilize things. Tilak seems to be in no mood to sit back, already smashing a couple of boundaries and a six. MI needs to keep up the momentum, but they are facing a quality GT bowling attack, featuring the likes of Kagiso Rabada, Rashid Khan, and of course, Siraj.
Earlier in the first innings, Gujarat Titans put up a solid 196/8 in their 20 overs. Their batting was anchored by a fantastic half-century from B Sai Sudharsan. While captain Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler looked in great touch, they failed to convert their starts into big scores. Hardik Pandya, leading MI, was the pick of the bowlers, grabbing two crucial wickets, including that of Gill.
But let’s not forget the drama that unfolded in the final overs of GT’s innings. Satyanarayana Raju was given the responsibility of bowling the last over—a bold move by Hardik. Rashid Khan smashed a six, but on the very next ball, he fell while attempting another big hit. Then came a series of quick wickets, including Sherfane Rutherford and Rahul Tewatia. Trent Boult’s sensational yorker sent Sudharsan packing after a well-made 63. GT, who looked set for a 210+ total at one stage, had to settle for 196.
Now, with MI at 30/1 after 3 overs, this chase is shaping up to be an absolute thriller. Can Tilak and Rickelton build a solid partnership? Or will GT’s bowlers keep the pressure on and defend their total? One thing’s for sure—this match is far from over, and we are in for a nail-biting finish!
Stay tuned for more action as IPL 2025 continues to deliver non-stop entertainment!
