MI vs GT Highlights: Gujarat ends Mumbai's winning run, goes top of the table

Right then, Gujarat Titans sprint back to the top of the table from P4 and Mumbai Indians have finally lost a game and their surreal run has ended in dramatic fashion. GT are probably just a win away from sealing a playoff place, whereas MI are still well and truly in the mix, especially given their Net Run Rate being pretty good. Next up, it is another crucial clash as Kolkata Knight Riders welcome Chennai Super Kings to Eden Gardens, in hopes of picking up two more points and keeping their fight alive. That game will be played on Wednesday, 7 May and will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but you can join us a lot sooner as usual. Until then, take care and goodbye!

Shubman Gill, the captain of GT, is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his knock and his overall leadership. Gill says there was a bit of chaos when they walked out to bat after the rain delay, but a win always feels good.  Mentions that the plans in the Powerplay were contrasting, and with the energy around, it almost felt like a red-ball contest. Shares that they aimed to push the tempo after the Powerplay, but the stop-start nature of the rain made rhythm hard to find. With the match going down to the final ball, he believes every single effort counts. Feels that gritty wins like these are what help teams go deep in a tournament like the IPL. On Rashid Khan’s performance, he acknowledges how difficult it is to return from injury, but credits the leg-spinner’s work ethic in the nets and feels his display in this game is a great sign for the side. As for qualification talk, he admits such thoughts can creep in, but the team remains focused on taking it one game at a time.

The Presentation ceremony...

Gerald Coetzee, one of GT's heroes at the death, is in for a chat. Mentions that he adopts a simple 'see ball, hit ball' approach. Adds that he was clearly expecting a yorker from Chahar and the bouncer caught him by surprise. Shares that he loves to play hard, and that passion shines through in his celebrations. States that it’s been a great environment in the GT camp.

Hardik Pandya, the captain of Mumbai Indians, is down for a chat. He says they fought really well with the under-par total they got, and they kept on pushing as a group, but in the end, it was a game of small margins. He says it wasn’t a 150 wicket, it was clearly somewhere around 175 kind of wicket and they were 20 odd runs short. He is proud of the way the bowlers fought and kept on hitting the right areas. He feels catches didn’t cost them but maybe the no balls kind of cost them in the end. He feels it’s a crime to bowl no balls in this format and he feels it comes back to bite. He says, the outfield wasn’t wet in the 1st innings, but throughout their bowling innings, the outfield was wet and he is not sure if it helped or not but overall, it was difficult with the rain around, but he feels they tried hard.

Earlier in the game, Shubman Gill won the toss and put Mumbai Indians into bat. It was a stellar showing with the ball from GT as they kept on picking up wickets, barring that one big stand between Suryakumar Yadav and Will Jacks. GT dropped plenty of early catches, but roared back after breaking that stand and kept MI to a meagre total of 155 runs. It was certainly Rashid Khan's best showing with the ball this season, but every bowler picked up at least a wicket.

Mumbai Indians' run of 6 consecutive wins has come to an end in dramatic fashion and in the end, they would feel that they could have pulled off a win here as well. They didn't have the runs on the board but Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah bowled superbly at the start before others let it slip in the phase after the Powerplay. Hardik Pandya had to gamble and both his big guns, Boult and Bumrah delivered, bringing MI back into the game after Will Jacks' one over had cost them the lead in terms of the DLS score. In the end, they had to come out for one over whilst being ahead in terms of DLS and Deepak Chahar simply couldn't hold his nerves. It wasn't going to be easy with the wet ball and an extra fielder inside the ring but the over bowled by Chahar was pretty ordinary as well. 

156 to win and Gujarat Titans would have taken it before a ball was played. However, they started in a shaky fashion with Sai Sudharsan getting out in the 2nd over. Then, the two stalwarts, Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler, added on a stand worth 72 runs, taking GT from a slow start into a position of promise. Things changed quickly as we had a rain stoppage and then GT lost 4 wickets in the space of less than 4 overs. They even found themselves 5 runs short of the DLS par score when there was another pause in play at the end of the 18th over. There was enough time for one over and the lower order managed to get the job done in a game, where for the first time, none of the GT's top three managed to bat until at least the 17th over. That middle order was tested but apart from Rutherford's crucial cameo, the rest didn't manage to step up in the time of need and were bailed out by the lower order.

GUJARAT TITANS GO TOP OF THE TABLE! A game that had it all! A topsy-turvy first innings that ended in GT's favour and then the rain played hide and seek in the chase before eventually bringing a halt to proceedings after the end of the 14th over. Things resumed after about 25 minutes and we got further twists in the tale as GT lost wickets in a heap. MI crept ahead in terms of DLS and it seemed like the game won't resume after the 2nd rain delay, but the stars aligned for GT, they managed to bat for one more over, needing 15 runs for the win and a boundary from Rahul Tewatia followed by a six from Gerald Coetzee sealed the deal.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT? The GT dug-out goes wild in celebration as Arshad Khan pumps his fist in the air after managing to scamper through for the decisive single and the Titans have stolen it at the very end!

18.6: Deepak Chahar to Arshad Khan, Direct hit missed and GT get over the line! Deepak Chahar goes full and straight at the stumps from over the wicket, Arshad Khan pushes it in front of mid off and sets off for the run. The ball goes straight to Hardik Pandya at mid off. He picks it up cleanly and has all three stumps to aim at. He has more time than he thinks he has and fires in a throw at the bowling end. Arshad is not even in the frame but Hardik misses the target. Suryakumar Yadav tries to get up to the stumps at the bowling end but does not manage to do so in time.

Arshad Khan walks in to face the final delivery.

18.5: Deepak Chahar to Gerald Coetzee, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Another twist! Gerald Coetzee goes for the glory shot and perishes in the process! The equation is down to 1 needed off 1 ball. A tie will take us to a Super Over. Deepak Chahar digs it in short, over middle, Gerald Coetzee tries to unleash the pull but gets more height than distance on it. Skies it up towards deep square leg where Naman Dhir takes a safe catch.

18.4: Deepak Chahar to Rahul Tewatia, Scores are level! Low full toss, on middle, Rahul Tewatia gets low and swipes it to deep mid-wicket for a single. 

18.4: Deepak Chahar to Gerald Coetzee, Chahar manages to execute the yorker this time, on middle, Gerald Coetzee backs away to slam it down the ground. Gets an inside edge towards deep fine leg for a single. Uh oh, the siren goes off for NO BALL. It could not have come at a worse time for MI. 2 needed off 3 balls. Free Hit coming up.

18.3: Deepak Chahar to Gerald Coetzee, SIX! BANG! Gerald Coetzee with a crucial strike for GT! Deepak Chahar misses his mark as he goes searching for the yorker. Serves it in the slot, on off, Gerald gets under the ball and tonks it over long off for a biggie. 4 needed off 3 now for the Titans.

18.2: Deepak Chahar to Rahul Tewatia, Chahar responds well! Gets the yorker in around the off stump, Rahul Tewatia squeezes it out in front of extra cover for a single. 10 runs needed off 4 balls for GT.

18.1: Deepak Chahar to Rahul Tewatia, FOUR! Rahul Tewatia goes up and over! Not a great option with mid off inside the circle by Deepak Chahar. Goes full, on off, Rahul holds his shape and pumps it over mid off for a boundary.

We are back, probably for one last time! The umpires are in their places and the MI players are spreading out on the field. Rahul Tewatia and Gerald Coetzee walk out to bat, and it will be Tewatia on strike to begin with. Deepak Chahar will be the one to bowl the decisive over. Can he defend this successfully? We shall find out. Also, MI are penalized for slow over rate and will have one less boundary-rider for this all-important over. Let's go...

UPDATE - 12.27 am IST (6.57 pm GMT, the previous day) - Well, well! We will have a resumption and there will be one over bowled at 12.30 am IST (7 pm GMT, the previous day). 147 will be the target for GT in 19 overs. As we say that, a few drops of rain have yet again started to fall. This cannot be real folks, the amount of drama we are witnessing.

UPDATE - 12.20 am IST (6.50 pm GMT, the previous day) - Visuals from Wankhede show that the covers are coming off and the drama just doesn't seem to end here. The umpires and the curators and even a few players are standing in the middle of the field, most of them hoping that the mop-up job can be completed. It will be a race against time. Stay tuned for more updates.

UPDATE - 12.11 am IST - Another update coming in from the broadcasters regarding a scenario where only one more over is able to be bowled and the cut-off time to start that would be 12.30 am IST (7 pm GMT, the previous day). GT would have to get to 147, which means 15 runs off the one over would do the job for them. Regarding the rain, it seems like it has died down a bit but even if it completely stops, there will be a bit of a mop-up job this time around.

UPDATE - Ian Bishop on air mentions that the game has to be concluded by 12.09 am IST (6.39 pm GMT, the previous day) and we are just about 15 minutes away from that mark. More news coming in and the new cut-off time is 12.25 am IST (6.55 pm GMT, the previous day). A bit of respite for GT but MI still ahead.

GT need 24 off 12 balls and the rain is back! It has gotten heavy quickly and the umpires are forced to call for the covers. The DLS par score at the moment is 137 but GT are 132, short by 5 runs and MI might have done enough here!

17.6: Ashwani Kumar to Gerald Coetzee, FOUR! Smashed! A yorker gone slightly wrong, on middle, Gerald Coetzee clears his front leg and thumps it back past the bowler to the right of long off for a boundary. 

17.5: Ashwani Kumar to Rahul Tewatia, Ashwani Kumar goes searching for the yorker again but it comes out as a low full toss, on middle, Rahul Tewatia backs away and carves it over backward point for a single.

17.4: Ashwani Kumar to Gerald Coetzee, Quick single taken! Gets the yorker in again, on off, Gerald Coetzee squeezes it out towards mid off and scampers to the other end quickly.

17.3: Ashwani Kumar to Gerald Coetzee, Another well-executed yorker, on middle, Gerald Coetzee jams it out hurriedly.

Gerald Coetzee is the new batter in.

17.2: Ashwani Kumar to Rashid Khan, OUT! LBW! MI get a review right and GT slip into further trouble. Ashwani Kumar nails the yorker from over the wicket, on leg, Rashid Khan clears his front leg and tries to swat it away on the leg side. The ball sneaks under the bat and hits the right boot. A confident shout for LBW but turned down! This looks straight and Hardik Pandya has taken the review. Ball Tracking comes up as three reds with the ball pitching just in line and hitting the leg stump.

17.1: Ashwani Kumar to Rahul Tewatia, Full and at the stumps, whipped through mid-wicket for a single by Rahul Tewatia.

16.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Rashid Khan, On a hard length, on off, Rashid Khan hangs back and keeps it out on the off side. An excellent spell from Bumrah comes to an end.

16.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Rashid Khan, Pitched up, around off, Rashid Khan leans into the drive and eases it to the left of cover for a couple of runs to get off the mark.

Rashid Khan is in next.

16.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Shahrukh Khan, OUT! TIMBER! A cold stare from Jasprit Bumrah to send Shahrukh Khan on his way! A shot that could have been avoided with this being Bumrah's last over and Khan has paid the ultimate price. Angling back into the right-hander from over the wicket on a good length, on middle and leg, Shahrukh has a swipe across the line and he gets an inside edge onto the back thigh and the ball then deflects onto the off stump. Bumrah has the Wankhede Stadium up on its feet and GT under more pressure.

16.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Shahrukh Khan, A massive shout for LBW but Jasprit Bumrah bails out of it quickly! This tails back in, very full, on middle and leg, Khan is beaten for pace as he goes for the flick. The ball catches him low on the front pad and deflects past the stumps. It dribbles towards the keeper and Shahrukh Khan, unaware of where the ball is, tries to sneak in a run. Rahul Tewatia sends him back in time as the underarm throw from Ryan Rickelton hits the stumps at the batting end and Khan manages to slide his bat back in.

16.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Shahrukh Khan, FOUR! That will ease some nerves in the GT dugout! A bit too full from Bumrah, on off, Shahrukh Khan gets under the ball and slams it to the right of deep cover for a boundary.

16.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Rahul Tewatia, Charging in from around the wicket at 144.6 kph, on a good length, on middle, Rahul Tewatia watchfully pats it to long on for a single.

15.6: Trent Boult to Rahul Tewatia, A length delivery, on off, Rahul Tewatia knocks it down to long on with a straight bat for one. Back-to-back successful overs for MI. GT need 38 runs in 24 balls.

15.4: Trent Boult to Rahul Tewatia, Attacking the front pad, on a length, Rahul Tewatia gets his bat out in front and tucks it wide of deep mid-wicket for a single.

Rahul Tewatia is in at number 6 for GT.

15.3: Trent Boult to Sherfane Rutherford, OUT! LBW! A loud shout and the finger goes up! Sherfane Rutherford has reviewed it straight away. Did he get some bat on it? Slanting in from over the wicket, on a nagging length, on middle and leg, Sherfane tries to work it across the line but gets beaten on the inside edge. The ball brushes the front pad first before going on to hit the back pad. Nothing on UltraEdge and it is three reds on Ball Tracking with the ball crashing into the leg stump. First Bumrah and now Boult strikes. MI are right back in it.

15.2: Trent Boult to Shahrukh Khan, Attacking the stumps, on a length, Shahrukh Khan hangs back and hurriedly whips it wide of mid-wicket for a single.

15.1: Trent Boult to Sherfane Rutherford, On a short of a length, on off, Sherfane Rutherford stays back and pushes it to the left of the diving Trent Boult for a single.

14.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Shahrukh Khan, This skids through, on top of off, Shahrukh Khan covers the line and keeps it out with a straight bat.

Shahrukh Khan walks out to bat now.

14.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Hardik Pandya's trump card strikes gold! This jags back in off the deck from over the wicket, on a nagging length, on middle, Shubman Gill is a bit tentative with his footwork and just hangs his bat out in front to defend. The ball beats the inside edge and catches the front pad before deflecting off the pad to crash into the off stump. Gill falls for 43 (66). GT are now 113/3, requiring 43 runs in 31 balls.

14.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Sherfane Rutherford, Nearly sneaked through! From around the wicket to the left-hander, full and straight, at the stumps, Sherfane Rutherford presents the full face of the bat and plays a bit outside the line of the ball. Ekes out an inside edge that rolls to the left of mid-wicket for a single.

14.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, At 137.5 kph, outside off, on a good length, Shubman Gill pushes it to deep point for a single.

14.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Hit with absolute authority! Jasprit Bumrah lands it on a back of a length, on middle, Shubman Gill brings out his trademark short arm jab and hits it to the right of mid-wicket for a boundary.

14.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, Hits the bat hard, does Bumrah! Nipping back in, on off, on a short of a length, Shubman Gill gets on top of the bounce and stabs it beside the pitch on the off side.

We are back for the resumption of the chase! GT need 49 runs off 36 balls. The umpires are back out in the middle and so are the MI players. Shubman Gill and Sherfane Rutherford are all set to resume their stay at the crease and it will be Jasprit Bumrah to have a crack with the ball after the break.

UPDATE - 11.12 pm IST (5.42 pm GMT) - We have a resumption time! It is confirmed by the visuals that the match will resume at 11.20 pm IST (5.50 pm GMT). So, grab a cup of coffee and join us for the final few overs of this game.

UPDATE - 11.05 pm IST (5.35 pm GMT) - The rain has stopped! The ground staff are on the field and so are the umpires. The covers might come off pretty soon here. Everyone is waiting impatiently, wanting to get on it with and after a couple of minutes, the covers do come off.

UPDATE - 10.55 pm IST (5.25 pm GMT) - There it is! It was inevitable and eventually, the covers have come on at the end of the 14th over. Gujarat Titans are ahead of the DLS par score at the moment and they were about to take the Strategic Break, just like MI tried to when things were in their favor, but the umpires feel that rain is heavy enough and they stop play for now. But actually, the break has been taken. Visuals then show that the Strategic Break was taken along with the covers coming on. Anyway, the Impact Player, Sherfane Rutherford, has made an actual impact and when the 13th over began, GT were five runs behind the DLS score and they are now well ahead of the required 99. The rain has started to disappear but with the covers on, it now needs to completely stop. Stay tuned for more updates.

13.6: Ashwani Kumar to Sherfane Rutherford, Another couple of runs! Pitched up, on the pads, Sherfane Rutherford leans ahead and places it right between deep mid-wicket and long on. Deepak Chahar and Tilak Varma converge but end up clashing and neither of them can pick the ball up in time and prevent the second run. Good last 2 overs for GT. 13 runs off this over and 15 off the previous one.

Oh, this is quite heavy now! Another burst of drizzle, probably the most intense we have had throughout but play goes on, at least for another delivery.

13.5: Ashwani Kumar to Sherfane Rutherford, Fuller and on the pads, Sherfane Rutherford just calmly flicks it to the right of deep mid-wicket and comes charging back for the second run.

13.4: Ashwani Kumar to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX! Into the stands! Ashwani Kumar bends his back and digs it in short on middle. It sits up to be hit and Sherfane Rutherford needs no second invitation. Swivels and nails the pull over deep backward square leg for a biggie.

13.3: Ashwani Kumar to Shubman Gill, Fuller and on off, Shubman Gill lunges and flicks it to deep mid-wicket for one.

12.4: Will Jacks to Sherfane Rutherford, Short and wide outside off, Sherfane Rutherford is itching to get a move on, but curbs his instinct as the ball was well outside off. Wide given.

12.3: Will Jacks to Sherfane Rutherford, Quicker on leg, Sherfane Rutherford makes some room and looks to play the slog sweep but gets it off the inside half off the bat, as the ball goes along the ground to short fine leg. Another dot ball.

12.2: Will Jacks to Sherfane Rutherford, Full on off, Sherfane Rutherford defends it solidly off the front foot, back to the bowler.

12.1: Will Jacks to Sherfane Rutherford, Short and well outside off, Sherfane Rutherford wants a piece of it as he looks to cut it fiercely but gets an under edge that goes into the ground. Dot ball.

11.6: Ashwani Kumar to Shubman Gill, A touch full and wide outside off, Shubman Gill lets it go thinking that the ball is too wide, but the line of the ball was just inside the guide line. Shubman Gill looks at the umpire but no expressions from the umpire. End of the over.

11.3: Ashwani Kumar to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Appeal and not given! Ryan Rickelton is confident and he pleads to Hardik Pandya to go for the review and they do go for it. This is a full-length delivery, outside off, Jos Buttler makes some room and looks to go inside out and misses it as the ball goes past his inside edge. Here's the third umpire on screen. Oh, there's a spike on the UltraEdge as the ball goes past the inside edge. The on-field call will be reversed. Jos Buttler has to go!

11.2: Ashwani Kumar to Shubman Gill, DROPPED! Length ball seaming away, just outside off, Shubman Gill lines up for the pull but the ball was not all that short and hence, Gill couldn't get under it and toe ends it up in the air to long on where Tilak Varma runs in front but shells it. Single taken.

11.1: Ashwani Kumar to Jos Buttler, Length ball on off, Jos Buttler skips down the track and looks to heave it, but gets it off the inside half of the bat to deep mid-wicket for a single. That also brings up the 500th run for Buttler in this season.

10.6: Karn Sharma to Shubman Gill, Short on middle, Shubman Gill is quick to rock on the back foot as he plays the short arm jab in the gap between deep mid-wicket and deep square leg. The fielder from deep mid-wicket is quick to run across the turf to his right and he puts in a good dive as well. Saves two runs for his side.

10.5: Karn Sharma to Jos Buttler, Short length leg break that pitches on middle, and turns a bit, Jos Buttler comfortably punches it off the back foot to the right of the bowler for a single towards long on. The bowler did put in the dive but couldn't save one there.

STRATEGIC BREAK! We are witnessing a game within a game here. According to the broadcaster, the DLS par score at this stage is 40, which means if we were to go off now and no further play is possible, Mumbai Indians would be declared the winners. Sensing the situation, MI have smartly opted to slow things down by taking the timeout and holding up play as the weather continues to loom. Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, cannot let the situation get to them as losing a wicket here would see the DLS par score shoot up. Harsha Bhogle informs on air that the rain has eased. Deepak Chahar comes back into the attack, replacing Jasprit Bumrah.

5.6: Trent Boult to Jos Buttler, Top shot but straight to the fielder again! Full and wide outside off, Jos Buttler gets forward and drills it straight to mid off. Just 8 off the over, even after that first-ball six and GT are behind on the DLS score after the Powerplay.

5.5: Trent Boult to Shubman Gill, Fuller one, angled in from around the wicket towards the toes, Gill jams it out to the right of mid on and picks up a single.

5.4: Trent Boult to Jos Buttler, Back of a length, on the fifth stump line, Buttler advances and plays it on the up to mid off for a quick single.

5.3: Trent Boult to Jos Buttler, No timing on that one! Hard length, pushed well across off, Buttler reaches out and toe-ends it towards mid off.

It has started to rain again and there is a long discussion between Hardik Pandya and Trent Boult. The umpires ask Hardik to get going. As per the broadcasters, the DLS par score at this stage is 36.

5.2: Trent Boult to Jos Buttler, Top save from Will Jacks and that was certainly heading for a boundary! Back of a length and outside off, punched away crisply on the up and to the right of backward point where Jacks dives across and makes the save.

5.1: Trent Boult to Jos Buttler, SIX! Buttler has had enough! A bit into the pitch, angled across the off stump, Buttler shuffles across and has so much time as he laps it over fine leg for a biggie.

4.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, Gill is timing a few deliveries really well but he is finding the fielders, just 2 off that over. Good length, angled in towards middle, Gill leans on and drives it straight to mid on.

4.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, Nagging length on off and middle, on the fuller side and Gill plays it on the up straight to mid off.

4.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, A much louder appeal for LBW this time but definitely missing leg. Bumrah goes fuller and pitches it on middle and leg, angling it in again. Gill misses the flick and gets hit on the outside of the front pad.

4.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, Fractionally shorter than the last two and straighter as well, tucked away through mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

4.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, Hard length again, this time over middle, Gill stays back in the crease and nudges it to the leg side for another dot ball.

4.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, Struck on the pads but seems to be a bit too high. Bumrah bowls it on a hard length on off and gets the ball to slant back into the batter. Shubman Gill plays all over the ball whilst looking to flick and gets pinged high on the pads. A stifled appeal and nothing more.

3.6: Trent Boult to Jos Buttler, Pitched up on off, Buttler shows the full face of the blade but drives it straight to mid off.

3.5: Trent Boult to Jos Buttler, Back to over the wicket for Buttler. Bowls it on a good length and keeps it around the top of off, Buttler taps it into the off side.

3.4: Trent Boult to Shubman Gill, Around the wicket now, bowling it full and on the pads, flicked away in the air and flat towards deep square leg for a single.

3.3: Trent Boult to Shubman Gill, Banged into the pitch and pushed across off, Gill advances to smash it through covers but misses.

3.2: Trent Boult to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Easy pickings! Around leg stump and around the hips as well, just tickled down to fine leg for a boundary by Gill.

3.1: Trent Boult to Jos Buttler, Bowls it on the shorter side and angles it across off, Buttler stays upright and taps it wide of point for a single.

Matthew Hayden informs on air that the intensity of the rain has reduced, and the ground staff have taken their seats again.

2.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, Good work from Hardik! Fuller one, angled back into the stumps, Shubman Gill looks to drive but gets an inside edge off the pads and to the left of mid on where Pandya is quick to get across and cut it out.

2.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, Back of a length and aroun off, on the shorter side, Gill rocks back and punches it off the middle of the bat but straight to covers.

2.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, Good length on off, Shubman Gill leans a bit and just punches it away in between mid off and covers before picking up a couple of runs.

2.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, Back of a length and outside off, Gill rises back up with the bounce and punches it firmly but straight to cover-point.

2.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Shubman Gill, On the money from Bumrah! Nagging length on off, darting back in towards middle stump, Gill prods halfway and blocks it off to mid on.

Something seems to have gone into the eyes of Shubman Gill and he stops Jasprit Bumrah halfway through. The umpires get together and have a word with the GT skipper.

2.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Jos Buttler, Good length around middle, angling back in, Buttler clips it off the legs to the left of fine leg and picks up a single.

2.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Jos Buttler, Wide! Starts off with a loosener. A shade fuller on the pads, darting down the leg side for a wide.

Well, just the one over for Deepak Chahar, and now it’s Jasprit Bumrah into the attack. The wind is tearing across the ground.

1.6: Trent Boult to Shubman Gill, Length again, around the top of off, solidly blocked off by Gill this time, but a perfect start for Boult here. 

1.5: Trent Boult to Shubman Gill, Oh, that's a risky push from Gill! A tad fuller and wider of the off stump, this is angled across, Gill steps out and then adjusts to just pat it away but is beaten past the outside edge.

Uh oh! The wind has picked up, and with it comes the rain. The ground staff are preparing to bring the covers on but thankfully, the drizzle is not heavy enough for now for the play to halt.

1.4: Trent Boult to Shubman Gill, No one out there! Good-length delivery, around off and shaping back in. Shubman Gill steps out to flick it over mid-wicket but gets a leading edge over the point region and picks up a couple of runs.

1.3: Trent Boult to Jos Buttler, A bit too straight, swinging back into the pads, Jos Buttler tucks it away to deep square leg and gets off the mark with a single.

Jos Buttler is in at number 3.

1.2: Trent Boult to Sai Sudharsan, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Trent Boult draws first blood for MI and the Wankhede Stadium erupts. The length is immaculate here, not all that full, angled in towards the off stump and then the ball just curves away after pitching. Sai Sudharsan is neither forward nor completely back and just looks to push at it. The ball finds the outside edge and Ryan Rickelton pouches it safely to his left. GT are 6/1!

1.1: Trent Boult to Sai Sudharsan, Peach of a delivery! Lovely seam presentation, bowling it a bit full in the channel and getting it to genuinely swing away from the left-hander. Sai Sudharsan has a poke at it and is beaten past the outside edge.

Who will bowl from the other end? It will be Trent Boult. Hardik Pandya has put himself at short mid on.

0.6: Deepak Chahar to Shubman Gill, One more outswinger to end the over, GT are 6/0! Good length, on off, shaping away beautifully. Shubman Gill blocks it off watchfully.

0.5: Deepak Chahar to Shubman Gill, Another outswinger, on a hard length and around off, Gill taps it down in front of mid off.

0.5: Deepak Chahar to Shubman Gill, Wide! Oh, that's swung a fair bit! On a good length and outside off, shaping further away, Gill gets stuck to the crease and throws his hands at it but can't reach the ball. Wide called.

0.4: Deepak Chahar to Shubman Gill, Pitched-up delivery on off, a hint of away shape as well, Shubman Gill gets well forward and just eases it towards short cover.

0.3: Deepak Chahar to Sai Sudharsan, Good length, pushed well across off this time, Sudharsan stays low and slaps the ball away to deep point for a single.

0.2: Deepak Chahar to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR! Classy from Sai as usual! This one is a bit more floated up, outside off as well, Sudharsan leans on and strokes it away through extra cover for a boundary to get the chase going.

0.1: Deepak Chahar to Sai Sudharsan, Lovely delivery to begin the chase! Pitching it up on a fullish length on off, getting the ball to dart across the left-hander. Sai Sudharsan pushes at it but the ball zips past the outside edge.

All in readiness for the chase to begin. Out walk the two openers of the Gujarat Titans, Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan. Deepak Chahar will open the attack for the Mumbai Indians. A slip in place for Sai. Here we go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

The pitch has offered some turn, and apart from the odd ball holding up a bit, it hasn’t been particularly difficult to bat on. GT's top three have done the heavy lifting, and MI will believe that if they can dismiss them cheaply, they can target the untested middle and lower order. For GT, the focus will be on their opening pair to get the chase underway and calm those early nerves. Back in a bit for the chase.

Rashid Khan is in for a chat. He says he is feeling like he is close to his best, maybe around 70-75 per cent. Feels he has missed the length many times, and that’s why he has gone for runs, and today he focused on his lengths, and that’s why he got some good results. Mentions he is getting back to his best and he is trying to get all these demons out of his mind. Shares that there is something for some spinners, but it is important to bowl in the right areas to get results. Credits Sai Kishore for the way he bowled. States that this total is chaseable and they need to play good cricket and someone needs to take the responsibility in the top order

At 89/2 at the halfway mark, MI looked well placed, but the innings unravelled quickly once the partnership was broken. From a commanding position at 97/2, they collapsed to 123/7. First, Sai Kishore and Rashid Khan made key breakthroughs, followed by the pairing of Gerald Coetzee and Prasidh Krishna. With a few lusty blows towards the end, Corbin Bosch helped MI cross 150, but the platform they had laid for themselves promised a lot more.

Earlier, after winning the toss, the Gujarat Titans struck early by removing both openers. It could have been an even better start had they held on to their chances, with three catches going down in the Powerplay. Will Jacks, dropped on 0 and 29, cashed in, as did Suryakumar Yadav, who was let off on 10. The duo laid a strong platform with a 71-run stand.

A final-over flourish for MI, but overall, it was an innings that promised a lot but left much to be desired. The last 10 overs saw MI score only 66 runs and lose 6 wickets. Given the fielding lapses in the Powerplay, GT will be quite pleased to have restricted MI to 155.

19.6: Prasidh Krishna to Deepak Chahar, FOUR! Deepak Chahar finishes on a high and Mumbai Indians have a score on board. Prasidh Krishna goes short of a length at the death again and bowls it around off. Chahar fetches the ball and clobbers it wide of deep mid-wicket and strikes it well enough to beat a chasing Rashid Khan to his left. 18 off the final over and MI finish with 155/8 on the board!

19.5: Prasidh Krishna to Karn Sharma, Back of a length over middle and leg, Karn Sharma looks to lean back and pull but mistimes it through wide mid-wicket for a single.

Karn Sharma walks in as MI's impact sub. Rohit Sharma has been subbed out.

19.4: Prasidh Krishna to Corbin Bosch, OUT! RUN OUT! That is sensational work from Jos Buttler and Corbin Bosch has to depart after a fighting knock. Prasidh Krishna bowls it on a hard length and over middle, Bosch stands tall and pulls it away in front of deep mid-wicket for a single. However, the batters go for the second as an afterthought, and Rashid Khan is a bit sluggish to release the ball. The throw is wide at the keeper's end but Jos parries and flicks the ball back towards the stumps. Bosch dives in to make his ground but replays show that he was a couple of inches short.

Has the dive saved Corbin Bosch here? The throw was a bit wide from Rashid Khan, and Jos Buttler had to reach out. Excellent work from Jos to flick the ball onto the stumps with his gloves and has managed to catch Bosch short despite the dive. OUT flashes on the big screen!

Ouch! A nasty blow on the helmet for Corbin Bosch. The physio sprints out for the concussion check. A replacement helmet is being brought out for Corbin. Bosch is ready to resume.

19.3: Prasidh Krishna to Corbin Bosch, Oh, that's ruffled the feathers! Expecting a slower delivery after those two mighty blows but Krishna goes even aggressive with a quick bumper and nails it around off. Corbin Bosch is just rushed and before he can even lift his bat for the swing, the ball crashes into the side of his helmet. Hoepfully, he is fine.

19.2: Prasidh Krishna to Corbin Bosch, SIX! Oh, that's sailed over as well! Krishna goes full and attempts the yorker on off, Corbin Bosch goes down on one knee and plays the reverse sweep to a ball that was clocked at 150 KPH! Bosch gets it up and over wide deep third for another six and that is an unreal shot.

19.1: Prasidh Krishna to Corbin Bosch, SIX! Bosch keeping the fight alive for MI! Prasidh hits that favoured in between length and bowls it around off. Corbin Bosch picks it early, presses back and whacks it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

18.6: Mohammed Siraj to Corbin Bosch, Full and around off, Bosch goes deep in the crease and drives it hard to long off for only a single.

18.5: Mohammed Siraj to Deepak Chahar, Probably should have been two! Length ball, over middle, Chahar backs away to open up the off side but slices it over the backward point region for a single.

18.4: Mohammed Siraj to Deepak Chahar, Play and a miss! Just back of a length and around off, shaping away a touch, Deepak Chahar backs away to cut but is well beaten.

18.3: Mohammed Siraj to Corbin Bosch, Pitched up and attacking the stumps, Bosch hits through the line and drills it to long on for a run.

18.2: Mohammed Siraj to Corbin Bosch, FOUR! Put away with disdain! Way too short and outside off, doesn't get the right height, Corbin Bosch leans back and smashes the pull shot towards the vacant cow corner region for a boundary.

18.1: Mohammed Siraj to Deepak Chahar, Hard length outside off, tapped away wide of the diving bowler and in front of mid off for a single.

17.6: Rashid Khan to Corbin Bosch, Drags the length back and gets the googly turning into middle and leg, Bosch rocks back but fails to get it away.

17.5: Rashid Khan to Deepak Chahar, Quicker and fuller this time, Chahar manages to stroke it down to long on for a single.

17.4: Rashid Khan to Deepak Chahar, The wrong'un now, a bit shorter and turning into the batter, Chahar nudges it off the back foot to mid-wicket.

17.3: Rashid Khan to Corbin Bosch, Tossed up by Rashid, Bosch manages to swipe across the line and get it towards deep mid-wicket for a single.

17.2: Rashid Khan to Corbin Bosch, Bowled flatter and around off, Corbin Bosch brings out the reverse sweep now but misses and gets hit on the pads. A half-hearted appeal but the umpire shakes his head.

17.1: Rashid Khan to Corbin Bosch, A slight fumble and Bosch manages to get back on strike! Length ball on off, Bosch gets inside the line and sweeps it behind square leg. Mahipal Lomror in the deep fumbles and allows the second run.

16.6: Prasidh Krishna to Corbin Bosch, Short ball over leg, pulled away down to deep backward square leg for a single.

16.5: Prasidh Krishna to Corbin Bosch, SAFE! A better throw and that would have been curtains for Deepak Chahar! Full and straight, Bosch jams it across to mid-wicket and sets off for the single before deciding against it. Sai Sudharsan with a quick pick up but a sluggish throw at the bowler's end. Prasidh Krishna collects it and whips off the bails but replays show that Chahar had just managed to get back in time.

16.4: Prasidh Krishna to Deepak Chahar, Very full and on the pads, flicked away down to fine leg for a single.

16.3: Prasidh Krishna to Deepak Chahar, Oh, that nearly went through! Good length on off, darting back in and staying a bit low as well. Deepak Chahar manages to jam his bat down in time.

Deepak Chahar walks in at number 9.

16.2: Prasidh Krishna to Naman Dhir, OUT! CAUGHT! That is such a difficult length to go after and Prasidh Krishna picks up his 20th wicket of the campaign, the first one to do so in the 2025 IPL season. Prasidh hits the deck hard, bowling it around off and not too short. Naman Dhir hangs back and tries to charge down the track and force it over the infield. Ends up slicing it towards mid off where Shubman Gill takes the simplest of catches. MI are now 123/7 and in danger of being bundled out here.

16.1: Prasidh Krishna to Naman Dhir, Back of a length and around off, punched down towards covers by Dhir.

15.6: Gerald Coetzee to Corbin Bosch, Full and straight, angling it in, Bosch flicks it straight to mid-wicket and sets off for the single. Dhir sends him back but a direct hit from Mohammed Siraj would still have been curtains for Bosch.

15.5: Gerald Coetzee to Corbin Bosch, Excellent work in the deep from Sai Kishore but he seems to have hurt himself here. Banged in short and at the batter, Corbin Bosch ries to pull off the back foot but doesn't time it well. The ball goes between fine leg and deep square leg. Kishore from deep square leg is the one who puts in the dive but his right shoulder just gets stuck in the turf. Thankfully, he is fine and the batters get two runs.

Is that a boundary? Sai Kishore seems to have done well to prevent the boundary but has landed awkwardly in the process on his right shoulder.

15.4: Gerald Coetzee to Corbin Bosch, Oh, beaten! Perfect length in the channel outside off, inviting the drive. Bosch goes for it but the ball zips off the deck and beats the outside edge.

15.3: Gerald Coetzee to Corbin Bosch, Goes hard into the deck, bowling it short and around off, Bosch leans back to pull but miscues it back to the bowler.

15.2: Gerald Coetzee to Naman Dhir, Good length in the channel, punched on the up and towards wide mid off for an easy single.

15.1: Gerald Coetzee to Naman Dhir, FOUR! SHOT! Hard length, around the top of off and middle, Naman Dhir is still able to hit through the line and smacks it back over mid off for a clean boundary.

14.6: Prasidh Krishna to Naman Dhir, Hard length, drifting onto the pads, Naman Dhir fails to flick it away. The ball goes off the thigh pads through the fine leg region and they get a leg bye.

14.5: Prasidh Krishna to Naman Dhir, Back of a length again and on a tight line around off, Dhir hops up and dabs it down to backward point. Four dots in the over so far.

14.4: Prasidh Krishna to Corbin Bosch, Short ball now, aimed in at the rib cage, Bosch stylishly pulls it with one leg up and towards deep square leg for a run.

14.3: Prasidh Krishna to Corbin Bosch, On a hard length and in the channel, Bosch gets halfway forward and punches it down straight to the man at cover.

14.2: Prasidh Krishna to Corbin Bosch, Back of a length and over off, Bosch stands tall and punches it back to the bowler. Prasidh Krishna shows a bit of aggression by throwing the ball back at the bowler before quickly apologizing for it.

14.1: Prasidh Krishna to Corbin Bosch, A well-directed bumper, around off and getting it in at a good height as well. Corbin Bosch quickly ducks under it.

13.6: Gerald Coetzee to Corbin Bosch, Good-length delivery, aimed in at the pads, clipped away firmly to the right of deep mid-wicket for a single by Bosch.

Corbin Bosch walks out to the middle.

13.5: Gerald Coetzee to Tilak Varma, OUT! CAUGHT! A soft dismissal and Gerald Coetzee picks up a wicket in his very first over. This is pitched up around off, but Coetzee generally hits the deck hard, which means the ball rises up after pitching. Tilak Varma stays put and crouches before trying to swat it flat over mid off, but gets no elevation on it. Shubman Gill at mid off just puts his hands up over his head and nonchalantly takes the catch. MI in a spot of bother at 113/6!

13.4: Gerald Coetzee to Naman Dhir, Pitched up, full and wide outside off, Naman Dhir reaches out and slashes it down to deep third for a single.

13.3: Gerald Coetzee to Naman Dhir, Hits the deck hard, bowling it back of a length and outside off, Dhir crunches it square on the off side but finds the cover-point fielder.

13.2: Gerald Coetzee to Naman Dhir, Oh, confusion in the middle! Hard length over middle, Naman just drops the ball in front of short mid-wicket and looks to stroll for the single. The batters realize that Mohammed Siraj is way closer to the ball and scamper straight back.

13.1: Gerald Coetzee to Tilak Varma, Begins with a full-pitched delivery around off, Varma gets low and drives it through mid off for a single.

STRATEGIC BREAK! The fall of three quick wickets has forced the Mumbai Indians to rebuild at a stage when they would have ideally looked to accelerate. Gujarat Titans have pulled things back well through their spinners and will now look to tighten the screws with two new batters at the crease. The pitch hasn’t shown any real signs of difficulty, and MI have squandered a solid foundation but will aim to finish strongly, as will GT. An intriguing finish to the innings awaits us. Gerald Coetzee has been brought into the attack.

12.6: Sai Kishore to Tilak Varma, A touch short and outside off, Tilak Varma pulls it off the back foot to deep mid-wicket for a single.

12.6: Sai Kishore to Tilak Varma, Full and wide outside off, Tilak Varma leaves it alone. That was too wide. Wide given!

12.5: Sai Kishore to Tilak Varma, Short on off, Tilak Varma punches it off the back foot to the left of long on and takes two runs. Good running, there!

12.4: Sai Kishore to Naman Dhir, Full on middle, Naman Dhir pushes it off the front foot along the ground to long off for a single.

Naman Dhir is in next.

12.3: Sai Kishore to Hardik Pandya, OUT! CAUGHT! Mumbai Indians are falling apart here! Sai Kishore bowls it full on leg, turning away from the right hander. Hardik Pandya goes for the slog sweep and top edges it, which goes behind the wicket-keeper. Shubman Gill at first slip runs behind and takes a good catch. From 97/2, MI have slipped to 106/5.

12.2: Sai Kishore to Hardik Pandya, Full on middle, Hardik Pandya blocks it off the front foot back to the bowler.

12.1: Sai Kishore to Tilak Varma, Short on off, Tilak Varma rocks back and pulls it along the ground to the left of deep mid-wicket for a single.

11.6: Rashid Khan to Tilak Varma, Full on off, Tilak Varma flicks it along the ground to deep mid-wicket for a single. Rashid Khan, the bowler, runs behind the ball. Wow, the energy from Rashid Khan tells you about his bowling rhythm! Single taken.

11.5: Rashid Khan to Hardik Pandya, Full and outside off, Hardik Pandya eases the drive to deep extra cover for a single.

Hardik Pandya walks out to bat. A slip and a short leg in place for the MI skipper.

11.4: Rashid Khan to Will Jacks, OUT! CAUGHT! Rashid Khan finally has his man! Full on middle and leg, Will Jacks goes for the slog sweep and hits it flat and straight to deep backward square leg where Sai Sudharsan makes no mistake this time and takes an easy catch. Will Jacks wasn't picking Rashid Khan one bit and finally has to go!

11.3: Rashid Khan to Will Jacks, Full on middle, Will Jacks sweeps it along the ground to short fine leg. Dot ball.

11.2: Rashid Khan to Will Jacks, Full and outside off, again the googly, Will Jacks looks to push it into the off side and gets beaten on the inside edge.

11.1: Rashid Khan to Will Jacks, FOUR LEG BYES! Full on off, Will Jacks looks to flick it off the front foot as this googly delivery pitches outside off and turns into the right hander as it beats Jacks' inside edge and hits his front pad. The ball after hitting the pads goes fine of the short third man fielder for four. A loud appeal for LBW follows and not given. GT go for the review. Third umpire on screen. Nothing on UltraEdge. Ball tracking coming up. Pitching outside off and impact outside off. GT lose another review and they have no reviews left now.

Another confident shout for LBW and GT have reviewed it! The impact seemed to be outside off at first glance. First, the third umpire checks whether Jos Buttler was encroaching the field of play with his gloves. It turns out that Jos had his gloves well behind the line of the stumps. Over to Ball Tracking now and as expected, the impact is outside the line. GT lose their second and final review.

10.6: Sai Kishore to Will Jacks, Short on off, Will Jacks punches it off the back foot along the ground to long on. Single taken.

10.5: Sai Kishore to Tilak Varma, A touch full on off, Tilak Varma works it off the back foot to the left of short mid-wicket for a single.

10.4: Sai Kishore to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! CAUGHT! A big wicket for GT! Slower through the air on middle from Sai Kishore. Suryakumar Yadav looks to go inside out and lofts this one straight towards long off, where Shahrukh Khan takes a pretty simple catch. Perhaps Suryakumar Yadav wanted to play it wider but ended up playing it in the hands of long off. Tilak Varma is the new batter.

10.3: Sai Kishore to Will Jacks, Full on leg, again, Will Jacks skips down the track and drives it long on for a single.

10.2: Sai Kishore to Will Jacks, SIX! FIFTY FOR JACKS! From over the wicket on middle, tossed up, Will Jacks charges down the track and lofts it over long off for a six to bring up his half-century. First fifty of the season for Jacks. Dropped twice, Will is making GT pay for it.

10.1: Sai Kishore to Suryakumar Yadav, A touch full on leg, Suryakumar Yadav skips down the track and lofts it over short cover. The ball goes towards deep extra cover. Single taken.

9.6: Rashid Khan to Suryakumar Yadav, Short on middle, Suryakumar Yadav works it off the back foot to long on for a single.

9.5: Rashid Khan to Suryakumar Yadav, Slower and short on leg, Suryakumar Yadav goes for the sweep and misses. Appeal for LBW and not given. Shubman Gill discusses it with the bowler and the wicket-keeper and they go for the review. Third umpire on screen. Nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking coming up. Pitching in line, impact in line and wickets missing as the ball is going over the leg stump. Gujarat Titans lose the review. NOT OUT is the call!

9.4: Rashid Khan to Will Jacks, Short and just outside off, Will Jacks pushes it off the back foot to the right of point for a single.

9.3: Rashid Khan to Will Jacks, Overpitched on off, Will Jacks drives it over the bowler's head to the right of long off, who puts in a good dive running to his right and saves two. 

9.2: Rashid Khan to Will Jacks, A touch full, googly, that pitches outside off and turns into the right-hander. Will Jacks commits on the front foot as he looks to defend it. The ball beats his inside edge and hits the front pad. A loud appeal for LBW and not given. Rashid Khan, Jos Buttler and the captain, Shubman Gill, converge to discuss and they go for the review. Here’s the third umpire on screen. Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting on umpire’s call with the ball clipping the top of the leg stump. On field call stays. NOT OUT!

Reviewed! That was the googly from Rashid Khan and seemed to be hitting Will Jacks right in front of the stumps. Not Out given on the field by the umpire, maybe turning too much? Shubman Gill has taken the review. The third umpire comes into play and first of all, there's clearly no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows that there is some turn and bounce in the deck and wickets are umpire's call. Jacks survives again as NOT OUT comes up on the big screen.

9.1: Rashid Khan to Suryakumar Yadav, Full on off, Suryakumar Yadav stays back and pushes it to the left of point for a quick single.

8.6: Sai Kishore to Suryakumar Yadav, Full on middle, Suryakumar Yadav pushes it off the front foot to the left of short cover for a single.

8.5: Sai Kishore to Suryakumar Yadav, Slower and shorter in length, just outside off, Suryakumar Yadav looks to play the cut but can't connect it well as the ball hits his under edge and goes behind the stumps.

8.4: Sai Kishore to Will Jacks, From over the wicket, slower and shorter on middle, Will Jacks pushes it into the off side for a single.

8.3: Sai Kishore to Suryakumar Yadav, A touch short on off, Suryakumar Yadav sits back and cuts it to deep point for a single.

8.2: Sai Kishore to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Slower and shorter on off, Suryakumar Yadav steps out and goes inside out and plays it towards the extra cover boundary for a four.

8.1: Sai Kishore to Will Jacks, Full on leg, Will Jacks flicks it along the ground to long on for a single.

7.6: Rashid Khan to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Full and on off, Suryakumar Yadav finally connects the sweep to perfection as he plays it in the air towards the deep square leg region for a bounce boundary.

7.5: Rashid Khan to Will Jacks, Short on middle, Will Jacks punches it off the back foot to long on for a single.

7.4: Rashid Khan to Suryakumar Yadav, Nearly a plan comes to fruition for GT! Full on middle, Suryakumar Yadav plays the sweep towards square leg where Shubman Gill flings himself to his right and puts his right hand out but the ball just goes past him. Single taken.

Strategic Break! Mumbai Indians are 56/2 after the Powerplay, and it looks like a decent start, but it could have been disastrous. Gujarat Titans have put down 3 regulation catches so far, with Will Jacks getting a couple of lives and Suryakumar Yadav also getting one. Arshad Khan has bowled exceptionally well, but if you give a team like MI so many chances, sooner or later, it could almost certainly come back to bite you. GT need to be headstrong and put those dropped catches behind them, whereas MI will now look to make the most of them. An interesting middle phase coming up. Sai Kishore to bowl now.

Times it to the right of mid off for a boundary.

The leading wicket-taker of the season, Prasidh Krishna, comes in as the first bowling change.

3.6: Arshad Khan to Suryakumar Yadav, Full and sliding onto the pads, Suryakumar Yadav wrists it along the ground towards deep square leg where Rashid Khan is quick to move to his right and keeps the batters down to one.

2.5: Mohammed Siraj to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Smart batting! Around off, on the fuller side, Rohit Sharma plants his front foot across the stumps and uses the pace of the ball. Laps it towards the vacant deep fine leg region for a boundary.

A slight halt in the play. Not quite sure why but the umpire has a word with Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma, probably because DRS might be down at the moment.
