Hindi broadcaster Jatin Sapru observed during the telecast: "Bumrah is basically saying 'Relax, I know my job well. I am here. You stay calm and just give me a chance."
Bumrah's assertion proved correct when he was brought back for his third over, the 14th of Gujarat's innings. He delivered a precise yorker to dismiss Washington Sundar, a crucial breakthrough that turned the match in Mumbai Indians' favour.
Sai Sudharsan: 'County stints reminded me that basics are most important part of batting'
The dismissal of Sundar was followed by Sudharsan's wicket, leading to Gujarat Titans falling short by 20 runs and their elimination from IPL 2025. Bumrah's exceptional bowling figures of 1/27 in four overs stood out in a match dominated by batters.
The victory advanced Mumbai Indians to Qualifier 2 against Punjab Kings, with Bumrah's season tally reaching 18 wickets, establishing him as Mumbai Indians' premier bowler in IPL 2025.

IPL 2025 Qualifier 2 between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians delayed due to rain. Check out what happens if match is washed out
The Indian Premier League Qualifier 2 between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings was delayed after toss due to a rain at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday. The drizzle started close to the match start before stopping and then starting again. The team which will win the Qualifier 2 will go to the final on Tuesday where Royal Challengers Bengaluru await. Punjab Kings opted to bowl against Mumbai Indians with veteran leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal back in the playing eleven while left-arm seamer Reece Topley replaced injured Richard Gleeson in the Mumbai Indians line-up. 'We are going to bowl first. Slightly overcast and the wicket was under the covers yesterday. Based on these, we are going to bowl first. It's a fresh day, we've recovered pretty well, rejuvenated and our mindset is to go out there and win. Boys are in high spirits, everyone's thinking positive. The environment in the dressing room is top-notch at the moment, so I can't complain much,' PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer said at the toss. 'We also would have bowled first. Looks like a decent track, just need to bat well, assess the conditions early and I think we'll be okay. It (pitch) has gotten much flatter, the balls have stopped doing as much as it used to do. If you bowl well, fast bowlers tend to get some help. At the same point of time, if you bat well, you can score a lot of runs. There are a lot of areas where we could have got better in the last game. Playing a tight crucial game, one day break, it's tough but we are into a rhythm and we know what we need to execute. We came very early morning after the game, we needed some rest, most of the guys focused on recovery and being fresh for today. The intensity will be very important and we're looking forward to it,' MI captain Hardik Pandya said. The temperature in the daytime in Ahmedabad on Sunday is expected to be around 38 degrees Celsius, and in the evening it is expected to be around 28 degrees Celsius. Apart from the temperature, dew plays a big factor at this venue, hence the teams winning the toss might be tempted to bowl first. There's a lot of time before the match gets washed out. The BCCI has increased the extra time to complete matches to 120 minutes from the existing one hour. The step has been taken considering the unpredictable weather. If the match still cannot be completed in the stipulated time, the team which finished higher in the points table will qualify for the final. This means that Punjab hold the advantage over MI due to finishing 2nd as opposed to MI's 4th placed finish.

IPL 2025 Qualifier 2: PBKS vs MI – Weather Holds The Key In High-Stakes Clash
The highly anticipated IPL 2025 Qualifier 2 between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Mumbai Indians (MI) is underway at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, June 1. Punjab Kings won the toss and elected to bowl first, but the match faces a potential hurdle as dark clouds loom large, threatening an interruption due to rain. Ahmedabad Weather Forecast Temperature: Around 36°C at the time of the toss (8:00 PM IST), gradually cooling through the night. Rain Probability: A 30% chance of rain, with possible showers expected after midnight, according to Humidity: Roughly 50%, which could lead to dew on the surface during the second innings. Conditions: Partly cloudy, with a mostly dry evening expected, but the current overcast conditions remain concerning. Match Halted Due to Rain – What Happens If It's Washed Out? With the match momentarily stopped due to rain, fans are eager to know what the outcome will be if the game is abandoned. As per IPL rules, Punjab Kings will advance to the final in case of a no-result, thanks to their higher finish in the league stage with 19 points and a superior Net Run Rate (NRR) compared to Mumbai Indians. Extra Time Provision for Rain-Delayed Playoffs The BCCI and IPL Governing Council have implemented up to 120 minutes of extra time for playoff fixtures to accommodate potential weather delays. This rule, in effect since May 20, allows flexibility in completing rain-affected matches. Clause 13.7.3 of IPL Playing Conditions: Up to 2 hours of extra time is permitted. Time-outs and shortened innings breaks may be used. Super Over changeover (10 minutes) is excluded from extra time. No Reserve Day for Qualifier 2 Unlike the IPL final, Qualifier 2 does not have a reserve day. Therefore, if the match is washed out and cannot resume within the allotted extra time, Punjab Kings will progress to the IPL 2025 Final, where they will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). High Stakes, High Tension With a spot in the final on the line, PBKS aim to make history, while MI chase yet another championship appearance. Both sides will hope the rain stays away long enough to decide the contest on the field.
