**Mumbai Indians Knock Out Gujarat Titans in Thrilling IPL Eliminator**
**New Chandigarh, India –** The Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated the Gujarat Titans (GT) by 20 runs in a high-scoring, nail-biting Eliminator match of IPL 2025, held at the Mullanpur Stadium in New Chandigarh. The victory propels Mumbai into Qualifier 2, while Gujarat’s campaign comes to an end.
Mumbai Indians set a challenging target of 228 runs, which Gujarat Titans failed to chase down, finishing at 208. Rohit Sharma’s vital score of 81 helped MI to achieve the massive total.
Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill attributed the loss to a combination of dropped catches, early wickets, and conceding extra runs. One crucial dropped catch was of Rohit Sharma by Kusal Mendis, which proved costly as Sharma went on to score a match-winning knock.
“It was a great game of cricket,” Gill said during the post-match presentation. “The last three or four overs didn’t go our way, but it was still a good game.” He added that losing three early wickets made things difficult, and the dropped catches didn’t help.
Gill praised the performances of Sai Sudarshan and Washington Sundar, who kept Gujarat in the hunt. “The message was simple for them: just play your game. There were a lot of positives for us; Sai [Sudarshan] has been great for us this season.” Gill considered 210 runs a par score on this pitch.
