MI-5: What unique six-hitting record did Mumbai Indians batters set in IPL 2025 Eliminator win vs Gujarat Titans?
After a lowly finish to the league stage with a defeat to Punjab Kings, depriving them of a Qualifier 1 spot, Mumbai Indians brought their A-game to the IPL 2025 Eliminator contest to stave off an in-form Gujarat Titans outfit in New Chandigarh on Friday night. Banking on the collective firepower of a vaunted top-order, MI racked up a mammoth 228 for five total batting first after winning the toss. The score proved to be just above-par as GT's chase led by Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar, offered a scare to MI's unbeaten record across 18 matches whilst defending 200-plus totals in the IPL. At a ground where the Punjab batters flounded the previous day in the Qualifier 1 match, MI rode on a belligerent start laid out by openers Rohit Sharma and Jonny Bairstow who seized 79 runs within the Powerplay. Mumbai thereby went onto set up a unique top-order sixes record after Rohit and Bairstow launched four and three maximums respectively. The onslaught did not stop there as MI's leading run-scorer, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and captain Hardik Pandya also proceeded to hit three sixes each batting between No. 3 to 5. Consequently, Mumbai became the first IPL team to have all of the top 5 batters to smash at least three sixes in a team innings. With No. 6 Naman Dhir launching one six, MI's total of 17 sixes was their second-best ever in an IPL match, only behind the 20 maximums they struck against the SunRisers Hyderabad in 2024. On the sixes count, MI have tallied a total of 135 sixes this edition, five behind their best haul of 140 sixes in the IPL 2023 season. Overall, Sunrisers hold the league record, having smashed 178 sixes last season. Despite being eliminated in the league stage, Lucknow Super Giants tops the sixes charts this season after slamming 152 sixes in 14 matches.

Watch: Jasprit Bumrah's Blinding Yorker Goes Between Sundar's Legs, Floors Him
Last Updated: Watch: Jasprit Bumrah's ball-of-the-season contender to go through Washington Sundar's legs and clean bowl him. Mumbai Indians (MI) ace Jasprit Bumrah bowled a ball-of-the-season contender to clean bowl Gujarat Titans (GT) batter Washington Sundar in the IPL 2025 Eliminator. It was a typically excellent yorker to the left-hander who tried to make room but just couldn't get under it in time because of the rapid pace. As a result, Sundar ended up with his legs wide open as the ball went through the gate to crash onto the stumps, flooring the batter on the ground for good measure. Magical yorker.

MI vs GT Live Score, IPL 2025 Eliminator : Gujarat Titans face Mumbai Indians in a high stakes knockout
MI vs GT Live Score, IPL 2025 Eliminator: As the IPL 2025 playoffs heat up, Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians are set for a titanic clash in the Eliminator on May 30 at Mullanpur. For MI, it's a rare route—they enter from fourth place, a position no team has converted into a title since the playoffs format began. But with six straight wins powering their entry, and a pedigree of lifting trophies under pressure, Mumbai won't be short of Titans, meanwhile, find themselves in familiar territory. Despite missing out on a top-two finish, they boast a remarkable record since their inception—two finals in two seasons, including a title in 2022. Their clinical approach in the nets, highlighted by Washington Sundar's sharp bowling and Sudharsan's determined hitting, shows a squad ready to peak when it matters most. And with MI missing key players like Rickelton and Jacks due to international duty, GT sense an Gill and Sai Sudharsan continue to be GT's batting pillars, while Rashid Khan, despite a quieter season, remains MI's bogeyman—particularly for Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma. For MI, Suryakumar Yadav's red-hot form (640 runs) and the potent Bumrah-Boult-Chahar pace trio offer firepower, but they'll need their makeshift top-order to click sides are unfamiliar with this venue in 2025, adding an element of unpredictability. Square boundary variations and the expected dry heat will challenge strategy and stamina have won all four of their most recent matches against MI, including this season's double. Their only lineup tweak may be the inclusion of Kusal Mendis, as they adapt in Buttler's absence. MI, meanwhile, might field Jonny Bairstow and Charith Asalanka to patch up their depleted top a matchup of the league's best bowling unit (MI) against the most consistent batting side (GT). MI average just 22.98 runs per wicket conceded, while GT bat at a league-high average of 35.61 at a blistering strike rate of 157.59. One team leans on history, the other on form and Mumbai, it's about rewriting history. For Gujarat, it's about reaffirming their rise as IPL's most consistent new-era team. With no safety net, one team's journey ends in Mullanpur—and the other moves one step closer to glory.
