In the ongoing IPL 2025 Do-or-Dai Eliminator, Mumbai Indians won the toss and on Friday, May 30, the Maharaja Yadvindra International Cricket Stadium opted to bat first against the Titans of Gujarat. There were a total of five changes in both teams.
Why are Rickelton and Buttler out of Mi and GT?
While MI replaced Ricelton with English wicketkeeper-son Johnny Bairstow, on the other hand, the Gujarat-based franchise was brought to Kusal Mendis in Sri Lanka to fill the shoes of Butler. In particular, both unavailable names have left for their national duties, as South Africa is ready for the WTC Final against Australia, while England are already playing their multi-reversal series against the West Indies.
What did the captains say?
Hardik Pandya, MI captain
Big game, scoring run will be good. The IPL is fun like that. we are aware. For about nine matches, we are playing like a knockout. We take it as a normal game and move forward. We really need to turn on today and focus on things that we can control and take smart options. Three changes: Bairstow comes back, Glison gets his cap, Bawa comes in.
Shubman Gill, GT Captain
We must have chased. Very happy with the tournament so far. Boys are very excited; My hometown is going to be very exciting to come back. Playing playoffs for the third time in four years. No pressure for a knockout game. Kusal Mendis for Butler, Washington for Arshad.
