Shubman Gill Silences Wankhede [Source: @ImTanujSingh/X.com]
GT captain Shubman Gill celebrated his team’s dominance at the Wankhede stadium as he silenced the crowd after picking up 3 important catches. His efforts in the field helped the Titans clear up MI’s dangerous middle order.
The iconic Wankhede Stadium has always been Mumbai Indians’ fortress. Moreover, in the 56th match of IPL 2025 against GT, the host team had a 71-run partnership between Suryakumar Yadav and Will Jacks in the first inning.
While the duo got Mumbai back on track after losing openers early, a middle-order collapse put a stop to their scoring rate.
Shubman Gill Stuns Wankhede Crowd During GT vs MI
Once Gujarat Titans got the breakthrough, the bowlers didn’t allow the middle order to settle. Sai Kishore got rid of Hardik Pandya on 1 off 3 before Gerald Coetzee rattled Tilak Varma as he went back on 7 off 7 balls. Naman Dhir, MI’s last hope, also scored 7 runs as Prasidh Krishna dismissed him in the 17th over.
The one thing common between all these dismissals was GT captain Shubman Gill. He picked up all three catches to completely dismantle MI’s dangerous middle order.
Moreover, Gill was enjoying his moment as he silenced the Wankhede crowd with a bold gesture. He unleashed his aggressive side to let the fans know that GT is not a squad to be taken lightly in this tournament.
Meanwhile, these repeated blows kept MI from posting a par total as they managed to score 155 runs at the end of 20 overs with a loss of 8 wickets.
Both GT and MI have 14 points each on the points table. Hence, a victory here would help them advance further close to the playoff spot.
