Shubman Gill's Sister In Tears, Ashish Nehra's Son Heartbroken As Gujarat Titans Crash Out Of IPL 2025 After MI Defeat
In a high-octane Eliminator clash that had all the drama, emotion, and heartbreak the IPL is known for, Mumbai Indians defeated Gujarat Titans by 20 runs, knocking the 2022 champions out of IPL 2025. Played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, the encounter left not just players but their families visibly emotional, with Shubman Gill's sister Shahneel breaking down in the stands, and Ashish Nehra's son reduced to tears. #MIvsGT — WTF Cricket (@CricketWtf) May 30, 2025 Also Read: Shashank Singh's Rumored Girlfriend: All You Need To Know About Punja Kings Star Batsman's Love Life With Girlfriend Mehak - In Pics Mumbai Indians Hold Nerve in a High-Scoring Thriller Winning the toss and opting to bat first, MI skipper Hardik Pandya led his side with confidence, setting the tone for a run-fest. The decision paid off handsomely. Rohit Sharma, reprieved twice in the powerplay due to fielding blunders by Gerald Coetzee and Kusal Mendis, made GT pay dearly. The veteran opener smashed 81 off 50 balls, including nine boundaries and four towering sixes. Jonny Bairstow, replacing Ryan Rickelton, chipped in with a vital 47, setting up a platform for a late assault. In the death overs, Hardik Pandya unleashed a flurry of sixes, finishing with an unbeaten cameo that helped Mumbai post a daunting 228/5. Gujarat Titans Falter Despite Sai Sudharsan's Heroics Gujarat's chase began on a nightmare note as captain Shubman Gill fell in the very first over. His early dismissal dealt a psychological blow, and though Sai Sudharsan (80 off 44) fought valiantly and Washington Sundar (48 off 30) kept GT afloat, the pressure of the mounting required rate proved too much. The Titans looked well in contention until Sudharsan's dismissal, after which the momentum firmly shifted back to MI. Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult delivered clinical death overs, choking the flow of runs and sealing the game for Mumbai with surgical precision. Dropped Catches Cost Titans Dearly GT's downfall was not just down to MI's brilliance but their own mistakes in the field. Three crucial dropped catches – two of Rohit Sharma and one of Suryakumar Yadav – proved to be game-changers. Captain Gill, post-match, lamented the missed opportunities: 'We were right in it. Dropping three sitters in a game of this magnitude is unacceptable. On this pitch, 210 would've been a par score. Small moments made a big difference.' Emotional Fallout: Family Members Left Devastated As the Titans' hopes vanished with the final delivery, emotions overwhelmed those closest to the team. Cameras caught Ashish Nehra's son crying inconsolably, his heartbreak mirroring the mood of every GT fan. Shahneel Gill, Shubman's sister, was also seen weeping, comforted by fellow supporters. These moments resonated deeply on social media, with fans sharing clips of the emotional aftermath. The visuals added a human layer to a game that already had the intensity of a final, highlighting how cricket is more than just a sport – it's a shared emotional journey. What's Next: MI March to Qualifier 2 With this emphatic win, Mumbai Indians advance to Qualifier 2, where they'll face Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 1. Gujarat Titans, meanwhile, exit the tournament on a low after three consecutive defeats, despite topping the league table for most of the season. For Gujarat, the end is bitter, but the journey wasn't without merit. Sai Sudharsan's rise, Sundar's return to form, and Gill's leadership evolution are bright spots in what was otherwise a gut-wrenching end to a promising campaign.

GT vs MI: Rohit Sharma survives twice—fans hope for a classic 'Hitman' knock in Eliminator clash
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) became the first team to secure a spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 final after convincingly defeating the Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 8 wickets in their own backyard last night. Attention then shifted to the Eliminator, held at the same venue—the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh—where fans were eager to see veteran batter Rohit Sharma rise to the occasion and deliver a big knock, something that has eluded him for some time. However, while he looked sketchy in the high-stakes clash between the Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Mumbai Indians (MI), the 'Hitman' got lucky twice. He handed an early lifeline in the second over when Gerald Coetzee dropped a sitter off Prasidh Krishna's delivery with the batter on just 4 runs. He was granted another reprieve at 12 runs, as wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis failed to grab an edge off Mohammed Siraj's bowling. Fans react At the end of the Powerplay, MI had scored 79 without losing a wicket. Many on X (formerly Twitter) were quick to react to the Indian cricket star's two lifelines. Some are hoping for a big knock from the opening batter, while others have taken to sharing memes and the usual jokes about MI owners, the Ambanis, supposedly having a hand in the "dropped catches." One said, "Dropped 2 easy catches of Rohit Sharma in is back." Dropped 2 easy catches of Rohit Sharma in Eliminator Ambani is back 🔥 #MIvsGT #GTvsMI Another said, "You can't beat Umpire Indians man.

MI have lost their overseas players Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks, while GT were without their star batter Jos Buttler, who scored over 500 runs during the league stage. MI handed debut caps to Jonny Bairstow, Richard Gleeson and Raj Angad Bawa while Kusal Mendis came in for Buttler and Washington Sundar for Arshad Khan.

Ashish Nehra, Rahul Tewatia Furious With Umpires After Rain Delay During MI vs GT. Reason Is...
Ashish Nehra was a furious man during his team Gujarat Titans' IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday. The match in Mumbai saw two rain disruptions. It was the second rain stoppage, just before midnight, that had everyone at the edge of their seats. The restart time was changed from 12:09am to 12:25am to 12:30am (Wednesday). Nehra was furious as umpires were taking a long time to restart the game even when the rain appeared to have stopped. GT batter Rahul Tewatia was also furious.

Rain go #MIvGT #MIvsGT — its cinema (@iitscinema) May 6, 2025 In a match in which fortunes swung like a pendulum in between two rain breaks, Mumbai Indians fought back brilliantly to take the upper hand but Gujarat Titans hammered 15 runs in a one over to chase the re-adjusted target of 147 in 19 overs to win the match by three wickets via DLS method at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday. With the match ending past midnight, the players returned to the middle after 12:25 AM following the second rain break for one over, with the target for Gujarat Titans set at 147. With Titans needing 15 runs off six balls to win, Rahul Tewatia struck Deepak Chahar for four, and Gerald Coetzee hammered a six. Chahar bowled a no-ball off which they picked up a double, and Tewatia scored a single off the fourth ball. To add another twist to the tale, with scores levelled, Chahar had Coetzee out and with one needed, he failed to run out at the non-striker's end. Gujarat Titans won the match and surged to the top of the points table and ending Mumbai Indians' run of six wins in a row. Former champions Gujarat Titans capped off a superb bowling effort with a clinical batting performance midway through the match and looked on course for victory. But in a dramatic turn of events, Jasprit Bumrah hauled Mumbai Indians back into the game with a brilliant hostile spell, claiming the crucial wickets of Shubman Gill and Shahrukh Khan. Trent Boult and Ashwani Kumar also struck vital blows, and Mumbai Indians were cruising and bruising.

IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans choke MI's big start, fans ask ‘66 runs in last 10 overs, what went wrong?'
Gujarat Titans managed to take control of their IPL 2025 position by holding Mumbai Indians to a modest total of 155/8 at the Wankhede Stadium. Despite a good start by MI, the home side lost momentum in the latter half of their innings, allowing GT to capitalise with consistent bowling changes and tight fielding decisions. Will Jacks, Suryakumar offer resistance Batting first after losing the toss, Mumbai Indians looked promising early on. Will Jacks played an aggressive knock, racing to his fifty in just 29 balls. Suryakumar Yadav supported him well with a steady 35 off 24 deliveries. Together, they set the platform at 97/2 by the 11th over. However, the middle and lower order couldn't follow through, resulting in a significant drop in run rate and loss of wickets. GT's bowling and fielding strategy pays off Gujarat Titans' decision to bring back pacer Arshad Khan in place of Washington Sundar proved effective. The bowlers applied pressure from both ends, drying up the runs and forcing errors from MI batters. Skipper Shubman Gill's calculated bowling changes and on-point field placements were key highlights. A sharp stumping by Jos Buttler, compared to MS Dhoni's style by commentators, added to the energy on the field. Social media slams MI's batting collapse Fans on social media were quick to criticise MI's performance. One user wrote, '97-2 to just 155. Even after batting poorly, you expect a team to score at least 180 at Wankhede Stadium after being 97-2 after 10.3 overs & having batting ability till number 10. This was an awful batting effort from Mumbai Indians in the second half.' Another user posted, 'After 10 overs Mumbai Indians were 89/2, now after 20 overs MI scored only 155/8. Last 60 balls, scored only 66 runs, losing 6 wickets!!! Excellent comeback by Gujarat Titans, will they chase the total easily!!!!' After 10 overs Mumbai Indians were 89/2, now after 20 overs MI scored only 155/8. last 60 balls,scored only 66 runs, losing 6 wkts!!! Excellent comeback by Gujarat Titans, will they chase the total easily!!!!#MIvsGT — @salla (@iamsalla) May 6, 2025 A third fan pointed out individual performance, stating, 'Hardik Pandya has struggled with the bat against his former team, Gujarat Titans.'
