IPL 2025, Qualifier 2: Shreyas vs Bumrah, Rohit vs Arshdeep and more; Key things to watch out for in PBKS vs MI clash
Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians contest the Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League 2025 in Ahmedabad tonight for a place in the final, where they will play the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Tuesday (June 3). Here are the key narratives. Mumbai Indians have won five IPL titles, and all of them came whenever they finished in the top two positions in the league stage. They reached the playoffs on four other occasions by finishing third or fourth in the league stage. They failed to reach the final on all four occasions. Can they break the jinx and make it to their 7th IPL final? On the other hand, Punjab Kings would want to avoid joining one particular list. Delhi Capitals (2009, 2012, and 2021) and Gujarat Lions (2016) were the only two sides to not reach the final despite finishing first in the league stage. The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad hosted 5 night games in the league stage, and the toss-winning captain opted to bowl first on all five occasions. Guess what? The toss-winning team lost all five games. Mumbai Indians also have a terrible record in Ahmedabad. Date Toss Bat 1st - Score Bat 2nd - Score Match result March 25 Bowl PBKS - 243/5 GT - 232/5 PBKS won by 11 runs March 29 Bowl GT - 196/8 MI - 160/6 GT won by 36 runs Apr 9 Bowl GT - 217/6 RR - 159 GT won by 58 runs May 2 Bowl GT - 224/6 SRH - 186/6 GT won by 38 runs May 22 Bowl LSG - 235/2 GT - 202/9 LSG won by 33 runs Shreyas Iyer and Hardik Pandya did break away from the norm and opted to bat first this season. Hardik notably did that against Gujarat Titans in the eliminator on Friday. It shouldn't be a surprise if Shreyas or Hardik opts to bowl first. The most decisive moment of Qualifier 1 and Eliminator involved a Mumbai hero. Shreyas Iyer's dismissal off Josh Hazlewood decisively tilted the game in favour of Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Qualifier 1 match. Rohit Sharma offered two easy chances to the Gujarat Titans fielders in the eliminator on Friday. He was dropped on 3 and 12 and duly punished the Titans by registering his highest-ever score in IPL playoffs, a superb 81 off 50 balls. Shreyas will be up against Jasprit Bumrah, the best bowler of the tournament. Rohit will be facing Arshdeep Singh, the leading wicket-taker for India in T20Is. Shreyas' experience is vital for the inexperienced batters around him. Dismissing Rohit at the earliest will help Punjab Kings to manage the run rate and add pressure on Suryakumar Yadav. Batter Bowler Innings Runs SR Dismissal Shreyas Iyer Jasprit Bumrah 10 66 132 1 Rohit Sharma Arshdeep Singh 6 28 122 1 Audacious, flamboyant, and outrageous are some of the adjectives used to describe Suryakumar Yadav's batting. The Indian T20 captain added a new word to the dictionary: consistency. 15 matches, 15 consecutive scores in excess of 25. Suryakumar Yadav will most certainly win the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award if he manages to hit five boundaries against Punjab Kings. Yuzvendra Chahal is expected to return to the PBKS side after missing the last three matches. Deepak Chahar missed the eliminator for MI, and he remains a doubtful starter for today's game as well. Debutant Richard Gleeson left the field after bowling three balls in the final over of the GT innings in the eliminator. If neither of them is available, England's Reece Topley might get the nod.

Mayank Yadav 'to follow Jasprit Bumrah route' as recent IPL injury concern worsens: Report
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) fast bowler Mayank Yadav made a much-awaited return to competitive cricket earlier last month in the IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians, but was subsequently ruled out after his second appearance this season with another back injury, and hence, missed out on the last leg of the tournament. With the injury concern deepening, Mayank is reportedly set "to take the Jasprit Bumrah route" to recover. Mayank, who was one of the three players LSG retained ahead of the mega auction, returned to action for the first time since October last year in the match against Mumbai, where he picked up two wickets, before going wicketless at 10 runs per over in the Dharamsala game against Punjab Kings. After the IPL 2025 was suspended last month, following cross-border tension between India and Pakistan, Mayank did not return to action with LSG revealing that the pacer, who had impressed the BCCI selectors last season and earned a special fast bowler's contract with the Indian board, was ruled out of the rest of the tournament with a back injury. According to a report in RevSportz, Mayank is set to travel to New Zealand over the next few days to consult with medical specialists for his back injury, and could even undergo surgery. "The speedster is all set to follow the Jasprit Bumrah route. Bumrah had consulted and was operated on by specialists in New Zealand. Even when Bumrah was injured in Australia, during the last Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney, his reports were sent to the same specialists in New Zealand," the report added. Bumrah too had suffered a back injury earlier this year, during the Sydney Test match against Australia, after which he was ruled out of the Champions Trophy and missed the opening half of the IPL season. However, he made a stunning comeback to the season, picking 18 wickets in just 11 games at an economy rate of only 6.37.
