MI vs GT, IPL 2025: Jasprit Bumrah's deadly yorker takes the wicket of Washington Sundar and ends Gujarat's hopes

Mumbai Indians' bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, famously dubbed ‘Mr. Yorker,’ once again proved why he’s one of the most feared bowlers in world cricket. In a thrilling IPL 2025 Eliminator at the Punjab stadium, Bumrah delivered a game-changing yorker that shattered Gujarat Titans' momentum and sent Washington Sundar back to the pavilion in dramatic fashion.

Mumbai Indians dominated the high-stakes encounter, posting a massive 228 runs after electing to bat first. Gujarat Titans, in their chase of 229, showed signs of revival as Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar stitched together a formidable 84-run partnership in just 44 balls. Sai scored a brilliant 80 off 50 balls, while Sundar played a blazing knock of 48 off 24 deliveries, keeping Gujarat in the hunt for a miraculous win.

However, the turning point came when Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya introduced his trump card — Jasprit Bumrah. With his trademark accuracy, Bumrah delivered a searing yorker that left Washington Sundar stunned. The ball slipped cleanly between Sundar’s legs and crashed into the stumps, ending his crucial innings and jolting Gujarat’s chase. Bumrah finished with impressive figures of 1 for 27 in his four overs, containing the Titans’ run flow and claiming a key wicket at a vital moment.

Gujarat’s innings, already under pressure after captain Shubman Gill was dismissed for just 1 run, began to unravel quickly. Despite efforts from other bowlers—Prasidh Krishna (2/53), Sai Kishore (2 wickets), and Mohammed Siraj (1 wicket)—the total set by Mumbai was too steep. On the batting front, Mumbai Indians’ top order fired on all cylinders. Rohit Sharma led the charge with a commanding 81 off 50 balls, including 9 fours and 4 sixes. Jonny Bairstow chipped in with a rapid 47 off 22, and Suryakumar Yadav added a steady 33 off 20 deliveries.

With this emphatic win, Mumbai Indians advanced to Qualifier 2, where they will face Punjab Kings in a high-stakes clash for a spot in the IPL 2025 final. As fans replay Bumrah’s textbook yorker on repeat, it’s clear that ‘Mr. Yorker’ struck at the perfect moment — not just taking a wicket, but breaking Gujarat Titans' backbone and sending Mumbai one step closer to the trophy.
