With Gujarat Titans steadily progressing in their chase of 156, Jasprit Bumrah delivered a crucial blow in the 15th over of Match 56 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 that shifted the momentum firmly in Mumbai Indians’ favour. The Wankhede roared back to life as the ace pacer dismantled GT skipper Shubman Gill’s stumps with a breathtaking delivery.
Jasprit Bumrah’s brilliance: The dismissal of Shubman Gill and the eruption
Bumrah, on the fifth ball of the 15th over, produced a searing back-of-a-length delivery that pitched just outside off and jagged back in viciously off the seam. Gill, who had anchored the innings with 43 off 46, was caught in two minds, too late on the shot; he was completely beaten by the pace and movement. The ball thudded into his front pad and ricocheted onto the off stump, sending it cartwheeling in a stunning visual. It was a wicket that needed pure class, and Bumrah delivered with ice-cold precision under pressure.
As the bails flew and Gill stood momentarily frozen, Bumrah exploded in a primal roar, fists clenched and chest thumping. His celebration echoed the intensity of the moment, relief, dominance, and belief all wrapped into one. The Wankhede crowd erupted in unison, blue and gold flags waving, chants rising like thunder. In that instant, Mumbai sensed a comeback, and Bumrah stood tall, not just as a bowler but as the heartbeat of their fightback.

In a high-pressure encounter at the Wankhede, Mumbai posted a competitive total of 155/8, riding on Will Jacks‘ explosive 53 off 35 and Suryakumar Yadav‘s quickfire 35. Despite early blows and a mid-innings collapse, a late cameo from Corbin Bosch and some lower-order resilience helped MI cross the 150-mark. Gujarat’s chase began shakily with Sai Sudharsan falling early to Boult, but Gill (43 off 46) and Jos Buttler (30 off 27) steadied the ship. However, Bumrah’s fiery spell, including the prized wicket of Gill with a peach that rattled the off-stump, shifted the momentum. Sherfane Rutherford tried to revive hopes with a brisk 28, but his dismissal and Shahrukh Khan’s fall in quick succession left GT at 125/5 after 17 overs. With 31 needed from 18 balls and only the tail to follow, the game hangs on a knife’s edge at the iconic venue.
