Choosing to bat first on what had proven to be a tricky surface just 24 hours ago, Mumbai Indians made a bold call — and backed it with an imposing total of 228 for 6. Skipper Hardik Pandya trusted the strip, and his batters did the rest.
Rohit Sharma, playing his most fluent knock of the season, top-scored with 81 off 50 balls, peppering the off-side with classical cuts and pulls. Jonny Bairstow's cameo added firepower, while Suryakumar Yadav and Pandya provided stability. Their power-packed innings pushed Gujarat Titans on the back foot even before the chase began.
Gujarat Titans Fight Back Through Sudharsan and Sundar
Even after losing captain Shubman Gill early, Gujarat Titans showed fight. Sai Sudharsan (80) was at his elegant best, maneuvering gaps and mixing calm with carnage. Washington Sundar, promoted to No. 4, unleashed clean, calculated hitting during a quickfire 84-run partnership off just 44 balls.
At 148 for 2 in 13 overs, GT were in pole position. Mumbai's lead was shrinking rapidly — until Bumrah returned to tilt the scales.
Bumrah's Yorker: The Moment the Game Changed
With the match slipping, Hardik turned to his most trusted weapon.
On came Jasprit Bumrah, and with surgical precision, he applied the brakes. Then came the fourth ball of his over — a 142 kph toe-crusher that Sundar had no answer for. The stumps shattered, and with it, Gujarat's composure.
Former India batter Robin Uthappa called it "the game-changing moment," and rightly so. From there, the Titans crumbled.
Sai Sudharsan departed soon after, and the middle order — Sherfane Rutherford, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia — couldn't stitch together anything significant. Bumrah returned in the 17th over to put the final nail in the coffin, conceding just nine runs when Gujarat needed 45 from 18.
Bumrah's Brilliance: A Pattern, Not a Coincidence
This wasn't an outlier. Jasprit Bumrah in IPL 2025 has been a cheat code. In 11 matches, he has picked up 18 wickets at an economy of 6.36, in a tournament where 200+ scores have become routine.
Veteran quick Ian Bishop recently said, 'Bumrah thinks deeply, he knows when to hunt stumps, when to bowl wide yorkers. It's not just the pace — it's his understanding of rhythm and timing.'
Even AB de Villiers echoed a fan's sentiment during commentary: 'The game isn't over until Bumrah is done.' Gujarat's win probability dropped from 42% to 23% after that one over. That's impact.

Shubman Gill Gives Big Update On Jasprit Bumrah's Availability For 5th IND-ENG Test
Before the start of the India-England Test series, it was confirmed by chief selector Ajit Agarkar, head coach Gautam Gambhir, captain Shubman Gill, and Jasprit Bumrah himself that he will play only three Test matches in England. And now when he has played three matches for India, there are doubts in everyone's mind about whether Bumrah will be available for the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, which is scheduled to take place at The Oval from July 31 to August 4. In an ideal scenario, Bumrah would miss the game as part of his workload management, but with the series on the line, there is a possibility that the 31-year-old fast bowler could play.

'People Saying India Lost 2 Games Bumrah Played': Nasser Hussain Flags Dilemma
Last Updated: Nasser Hussain thinks India has a dilemma with Jasprit Bumrah if they draw the fourth Test against England in the 2025-26 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes India will face a tricky dilemma viz Jasprit Bumrah if they manage to scrape out a draw against England in the fourth Test of the 2025-26 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. He pointed out how it has already been declared that Bumrah will play three Tests in the series, and wondered whether India will be comfortable dropping their 'greatest match-winner' for a decider. Bumrah, captain Shubman Gill, and head coach Gautam Gambhir have all said that Bumrah is supposed to play just three Tests — something that they have been criticised in India for, too. The Old Trafford game is his third, and he has already bowled 119.4, the second-highest. In Manchester, he was also spotted hobbling a couple of times with cramps and strains. 'India will have a tricky decision to make if they continue to dig in on the final day at Old Trafford and come away with a creditable draw," Hussain wrote in his column for The Daily Mail. 'Because although they keep saying that Jasprit Bumrah will play only three Tests in this five-match series – and this, don't forget, is his third – the series could still be alive when the teams arrive at The Oval next week," he added. Hussain also admitted to being aware of some people's thoughts on why India have lost the two games where Bumrah played so far. 'I know people are saying that India have lost the two games Bumrah has played in and won the one he missed, with Siraj and Akash Deep bowling India to victory in the second Test at Edgbaston. But there are a lot of things that go into losing a game of cricket, and I don't think you can honestly say Bumrah's bowling was one of the causes of the tourists' defeats at Headingley and Lord's," he said, rejecting the idea. 'Clearly, if India lose and go 3–1 down, they can give Bumrah and probably Mohammed Siraj, who has played all four games so far, a rest for the final game. But if they escape Manchester only 2–1 down, are they really going to leave out their greatest match-winner with the ball?" Hussain added. India will start the fifth day trailing by 137 runs, with eight wickets in the bag. There's also chances of rain which can aid their push for a draw, though England still remain with their noses ahead. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Hes Ahead: Who Did Kapil Dev Give An Edge Between Jadeja VS Stokes In GOAT Allrounder Debate?
India's iconic World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev has weighed in on the ongoing discussion about the best all-rounder in world cricket today and he didn't hesitate to back India's own Ravindra Jadeja over England's Ben Stokes. 'I don't want to compare. Stokes is a good all-rounder, but I still feel Jadeja is ahead. He is performing far better,' Kapil said while speaking on the sidelines of the PGTI schedule announcement for the second half of 2025. Kapil's comments come at a time when both all-rounders have played crucial roles for their respective teams in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series, where England currently lead 2-1. KD On Gill The 1983 World Cup-winning captain also shared his thoughts on several other hot topics in Indian cricket, including the workload management of Jasprit Bumrah and the leadership of young captain Shubman Gill. On Bumrah's decision to play only three of the five Tests in the England series, Kapil expressed support and acknowledged the physical toll the fast bowler's unique action places on his body. 'I think everybody is different. Times have changed, bodies are different. They are working differently. It is difficult to judge. Yes, he is one of the fast bowlers we have but his action is so awkward and it is difficult to sustain,' he said. Kapil also admitted that Bumrah's longevity in international cricket has surprised him. 'We didn't think he will be able to play this far because he takes too much stress on the body. But still he is delivering to the Indian team. So hats off to him.' India's head coach and Bumrah himself confirmed earlier that the pace spearhead would only play in three Tests of the five-match series as part of workload management, considering his history with injuries. Turning to India's young Test captain Shubman Gill, Kapil urged fans and critics alike to be patient. 'Give him time. This is his first series, he will commit mistakes and there will be many positives over the period of time, he will learn. There is no problem if he is learning. There will be mistakes, but he is learning from his mistakes — that is very important.' Kapil highlighted that this Indian team is still in a transition phase, and Gill, though new to leadership, will grow into the role. 'This is a young team, they are getting the opportunity to play and in the coming days these players will win. It is just a new team. Any new team in the world takes time to adjust. Gill is a new captain, and he will learn a lot and I think this series will be a learning step.
