AB de Villiers in his praise for Mumbai Indians (MI) and Jasprit Bumrah After the five -time champion, on Friday, May 30, the Eliminator progressed on the qualifier 2 by defeating the Gujarat Titans (GT), which was at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mulanpur.
MI captured 228/5 to bat first. Rohit Sharma rode his luck and scored 81 runs off 50 balls, which had nine fours and four sixes. Johnny Bairstow, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, and Hardik Pandya also contributed significantly. In response, Gujarat was limited to 208/6 in its 20 overs. Jasprit Bumrah performed a brilliant magic, raised the wicket of an in-form Washington Sundar, and scored just 27 runs in his four overs.
AB de Villiers said that the twist of the game was the dismissal of Sai Reformson in the 16th over. Southpow was threatening to take the game away from MI, but Richard Glison dismissed her for a score of 80 runs off 49 balls. The former South African captain also mentioned that Gujarat gave MI a run for his money despite leaving several catches. Kusal Mendis looked good even during his brief stay at the crease, but the wicket was rejected.

Nobody gave GT a chance to the half -way mark, but MI grabbed his nerve – especially Jasprit Bumrah, which keeps on transporting only in big moments. Wickets, anarchic moments – still made it a competition,” Still made it a competition, “Still he said,” Stirely said that she said a competition for the fans of Kuhal fans Speaking while speaking, said live on Gehotstar
De Villiers also appreciated MI Skipper Hardik to keep Bumrah's last two overs for death, as goodwill was batting brilliantly.
“Credit to Hardik to keep Bumrah back for the right time. Sai was playing her well, so delaying her return was a smart step. Before Bumrah came back to her last two overs, I told my son, 'The game did not end until she bowls.” Once again, he showed why he is one of the best, “De Villiers said.
