MI vs GT IPL 2025 Eliminator: Mumbai Indians star pacer Jasprit Bumrah was seen urging head coach Mahela Jayawardene to relax since he was about to bounce back just a few minutes before he took GT star all-rounder Washington Sundar's wicket. While chasing a mammoth target of 229 runs during the Eliminator against MI, GT was inching closer towards victory as they were 148/2 after 13 overs as Washington Sundar was looking at his absolute best in Jasprit Bumrah's over.

As Sai Sudharsan and Washinton were trying to build a partnership, the MI bowlers looked clueless as the bowling coach Mahela Jayawardene and batting coach Kieron Pollard were seen getting involved in a heated argument with Jasprit Bumrah, who was standing near the boundary. But the fast bowler told them to relax and even made gestures with his hands. After a few minutes, Bumrah bowled the 14th over and thus broke the 84-run partnership by taking Sundar's wicket after bowling a brilliant bowler.

The video of the incident went viral on social media and Bumrah left his fans stunned by backing himself and helping the team bounce back brilliantly.

Bumrah gave the Mumbai-based franchise the much-needed breakthrough by dismissing Sundar as they were able to pile the pressure back on GT as the runflow was stopped and they were skittled out for just 208 runs and MI won the match by 20 runs. Bumrah registered match-winning figures of 1/27 in the four overs that he bowled and was also lauded by skipper Hardik Pandya during the post-match presentation for performing brilliantly yet again.

During IPL 2025, Bumrah has taken 18 wickets after playing in 11 matches at a staggering average of 15.33 and a brilliant economy of 6.36. At the same time, the Hardik Pandya-led side will lock horns with Punjab Kings during the 2nd Qualifier in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Whichever team will win this match will face RCB during the summit clash, which will be held next week.
