The IPL 2025 Eliminator between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Titans (GT) ended in a dramatic and emotional exit for GT, with families visibly breaking down after the defeat.

MI set a challenging target of 228 runs, powered by Rohit Sharma's explosive 81 runs and Jonny Bairstow's fiery debut innings, forging an 84-run opening partnership. MI's 17 sixes overshadowed GT's 8, highlighting the difference in firepower.

Chasing 228, GT lost captain Shubman Gill early, trapped for a golden duck by Trent Boult. Despite a valiant 80 by Sai Sudharsan and an aggressive 48 from Washington Sundar, GT managed only 208/6. MI's bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah's economical 4-0-27-1, kept GT's chase just out of reach.

The defeat was heart-wrenching for GT's camp. Ashish Nehra's son was seen crying inconsolably, and Shubman Gill's sister Shahneel was tearful, needing consolation from others in the stands.

GT had topped the IPL 2025 league stage but stumbled in their last two group matches, forcing them into the Eliminator where MI's superior batting and bowling clinched the win.

"Rohit Sharma's explosive 81 propelled Mumbai Indians to a 20-run victory over Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator, ending GT's IPL 2025 campaign."
"Ashish Nehra's son was seen crying inconsolably after Mumbai Indians knocked Gujarat Titans out of IPL 2025 on Friday."
"Despite Sai Sudharsan's valiant 80, Gujarat fell short, managing only 208/6."

The emotional scenes underscored the high stakes and passion surrounding the IPL playoffs, marking a poignant end to GT's season.
