Gujarat lost to Mumbai Indians by 20 runs in the IPL 2025 Eliminator at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, on Friday, May 30. Chasing a target of 229, the Titans were bowled out for 208 runs, ending Gujarat’s campaign in the marquee tournament.
"It's been said that GT's strength has been their bowling but numbers tell a different story. Runs conceded by GT in last 6 innings: 212, 199, 155, 235, 230 and 228. Bowlers and fielders let them down, not batters. #MIvsGT," Kaif wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Rohit Sharma Makes Most of Two Early Reprieves in Powerplay
Rohit Sharma benefited from two dropped chances during the powerplay. Gerald Coetzee dropped the first catch at fine leg in the second over, and another was put down behind the stumps by Mendis in the third. Mendis missed another opportunity when he dropped Suryakumar Yadav on 25.
He received support from Jonny Bairstow, who smashed 47 off just 22 deliveries, while Suryakumar Yadav (33 from 20), Tilak Varma (25 off 11), and captain Hardik Pandya (unbeaten 22 off 9) chipped in with valuable contributions.
Gujarat Titans' Bowling Unit Struggled to Deliver in IPL 2025
However, GT’s overall bowling performance declined due to poor form and inconsistency. Mohammed Siraj was ineffective in the final stretch of the season, managing just one wicket in his last four games and conceding runs at over nine per over.
In the Eliminator against Mumbai Indians, Prasidh Krishna conceded 53 runs in his four overs. He picked up two wickets but was punished by Jonny Bairstow, who smashed him for three sixes and two fours in a single over.
