Mumbai Indians are up against Gujarat Titans in the all-important Eliminator of IPL 2025. MI have decided to bat first after winning the toss and have started off with a bang. Jonny Bairstow, the replacement of Ryan Rickelton, came out all guns blazing and smashed GT's opening bowlers all over the park.

Mohammed Siraj Gets Frustrated With Bairstow's Onslaught

Mohammed Siraj was one of the bowlers who had to pay the price, and it did not go well with the Indian pacer. In the fifth over of the game, Bairstow hit Mohammed Siraj for a boundary on the third ball, and then the bowler was seen spitting out some angry words towards the MI batter. The Englishman also did not hold back and gave it back to the GT pacer, which created a bit of tension in the middle.

Bairstow continued his belting of GT bowlers after the altercation and smashed 47 from just 22 balls. He looked good for a lot more, but Sai Kishore ended his onslaught in the 8th over. However, the start he has provided MI has given them a great headstart in a big knockout match and their batting line-up is making sure that they capitalise on it.

Rohit Sharma took over the attacking role from Bairstow after his wicket and found an able partner in the form of Suryakumar Yadav. SKY continued his good form and scored 33 from 20 balls before his knock was cut short. Nevertheless, Mumbai Indians have plenty of quality batters in their arsenal, and they are looking set to cross 200.

The winner of this match will play Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 1.
