Do or Die Showdown: MI vs GT in IPL 2025 Eliminator

The stakes are high in the IPL 2025 Eliminator Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans clash this Friday at Mullanpur. This is bloody high voltage; you know who wins here will go to Qualifier 2 and the other one … (ahem) will be schlepping home. What makes this clash of two teams that stumbled in their last encounters so interesting?

Gujarat’s Big Decision: Trust the Core or Shake It Up?

Gujarat Titans are still reeling from a defeat by 83 runs at the hands of Chennai Super Kings. Though their batting commands the higher order, owing to their captain Shubman Gill that alarm is going off for the bowling department. Rashid Khan and Mohammed Siraj, the key bowlers, have not been at their best leaving the task more on the leadership. But a few sources tell me that GT won’t change their lineup too much. After Jos Buttler is absent, Kusal Mendis will replace him as number one —we will get some firepower from Sri Lanka.

Mumbai’s Opening Puzzle: Is Rohit Getting a New Partner?

Btw Mumbai Indians are not in a pleasant zone having tasted the 7-wicket defeat to Puniac Kingdoms. Well, the silver lining is? New arrivals. Back in the mix is Jonny Bairstow and he is likely to share opening duties with Rohit Sharma Jon still thinks that’s right – at least finally MI will get aggressive opening support with Rohit Sharma. Surya Kumar Yadav will handle the middle order and Hardik Pandya, will lead the MI backload. There is also talk that Charith Asalanka could edge it to cut, a likely Will Jack replacement owing to his off-spin and middle-order mode.

Foreign Stars Exit, New Faces Enter the Arena

Due to the fact of the absence of important overseas players, both teams are having to re-think their game plan. I expect Gujarat to use their in-form domestic players Sai Sudharsan and Shahrukh Khan, but Mumbai gets the youth with experience that could be their x factor. The Bumrah vs Siraj duel and Rashid vs Surya could just decide this ferocious battle.
