On Tuesday, May 6, the 2022 champion Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) engaged in an exciting pursuit at the Wankhede Stadium. The DLS approach was used to achieve the tight victory following consecutive rain delays.
GT’s top-order batsman Jos Buttler, meanwhile, was spotted playing cricket with neighbourhood children on the streets of Mumbai.
The kids jumped with delight when the ball travelled far down the ground as the star batter played with a stick and a child bowled to him.

That’s really sweet gesture by him.😂❤️ pic.twitter.com/nbOb300Cy1— Brookýý 🏴 (@88Brooky) May 7, 2025
In relation to the match, Shubman Gill, the captain of GT, won the toss and decided to field first. Suryakumar Yadav (35 off 24), Will Jacks (53 off 35), and Corbin Bosch (27 off 22) all contributed to MI’s impressive 155-run total. All of the other batters in the MI lineup only managed single-digit scores, indicating their failure. Each of the other bowlers contributed one wicket, while GT bowler Sai Kishore claimed two.
A few rain-related delays caused the chase to be postponed, and their innings was eventually cut down to 19 overs with a revised target of 147. With a cool 43 off 46 balls, Gill took the lead for GT, with Buttler (30 off 27) and Sherfane Rutherford (28 off 15) providing strong assistance.
In the last over that Deepak Chahar delivered, GT needed to score 15 runs. Following a boundary from Rahul Tewatia, Gerald Coetzee smashed a six. With a single off the final ball, Arshad Khan earned GT their seventh IPL 2025 triumph by pushing the ball towards mid-off.
The victory put GT at the top of the standings, and MI’s six-game winning streak ended, dropping them to fourth place with 14 points. In the evening of May 11, MI will play the Punjab Kings (PBKS), while GT will play the Delhi Capitals (DC).
