Unki batting ka depth itna zabardast tha ki MI ne IPL playoff ke doosre sabse bade score, 228/5, bana daala. GT ke liye yeh target hamesha thodi door hi raha, aur woh 208/6 pe hi ruk gaye, 20 run se haar gaye. Ab MI ka agla muqabla PBKS se hai, aur yeh match ekdum dhamakedaar hone wala hai!
MI Ki Batting Ne Kiya Kamaal
MI ka dhamaka shuru hua apne openers, Rohit Sharma aur uske partner ke saath, jinhone ekdum jhakaas shuruaat ki. Rohit, jo “Hitman” ke naam se jaana jaata hai, ne 81 run maar ke dikha diya ki boss kaun hai. Uski aggressive batting aur perfect shots ne GT ke bowlers ko paani pila diya. Suryakumar Yadav, apne mast style mein, ek classic innings khel gaya, jisse MI ka momentum full-on raha. Middle order mein Jonny Bairstow aur Richard Gleeson jaise debutants ne bhi apna jalwa dikhaya, aur MI ke lower order ne bhi runs ka silsila chala rakha. GT ke bowlers ka band baj gaya, aur Gerald Coetzee ke last over mein toh runs ka toofan aa gaya, jisse MI ne 228/5 ka score khada kiya, jo IPL playoffs ka doosra sabse bada total hai.
GT Ki Koshish Naakafi
229 ka target chase karna GT ke liye ekdum bada challenge tha. Captain Shubman Gill, jo season mein chhaya raha, is baar thodi kami reh gaya, aur fans ko laga yeh ek bada miss tha. Lekin Sai Sudharsan ne ekdum lajawab innings kheli, GT ko game mein banaye rakha. Phir bhi, Washington Sundar ka wicket girna ek bada jhatka tha, jisse GT ka flow toot gaya.
MI ke bowlers, khaas taur pe Jasprit Bumrah, ne “Boom Boom” andaaz mein GT ko rok diya. Bumrah ke yorkers aur smart bowling ne GT ke batsmen ko bandh ke rakha, aur boundaries bhi nahi banne di. GT ne 208/6 tak pahunch toh liya, lekin MI ke bowlers ne unhe har baar ek kadam peechhe rakha, aur target haath se nikal gaya.
Game Ke Turning Points
MI ki jeet ke peechhe kaafi cheezein thi. Rohit aur Suryakumar ki opening mein dhamakedaar batting ne ek solid base di, jisse middle aur lower order ko free hit ka mauka mila. Bairstow aur Gleeson jaise naye players ko itne bade match mein khilaana MI ka bold move tha, aur unhone iska poora fayda uthaya. Bowling mein Bumrah ka jadoo aur smart captaincy ne GT ko hamesha pressure mein rakha.
GT ke liye, Shubman Gill aur Sai Sudharsan pe zyada depend karna pad gaya, kyunki Jos Buttler jaise overseas players international duty pe the. Rashid Khan ka bhi is season mein form thoda down tha, 9.47 economy rate aur sirf 9 wickets ke saath, jo GT ke liye bada nuksaan raha. Coetzee ka last over bhi mehnga pada, jisse MI ka score itna bada ho gaya ki chase karna mushkil ho gaya.
Qualifier 2 Ka Scene
Ab MI ka muqabla PBKS se Qualifier 2 mein hoga, jo 1 June 2025 ko Ahmedabad ke Narendra Modi Stadium mein hoga. PBKS, jo league stage mein top-2 mein thi, lekin Qualifier 1 mein Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) se haar gayi, ab doosra chance lene ke liye taiyaar hai. Shreyas Iyer ki captaincy mein PBKS ka Indian core solid hai, lekin Marco Jansen ke na hone se unki bowling aur lower order thodi kamzor hai. MI, apne veterans Rohit, Suryakumar, Hardik Pandya, aur Bumrah ke saath, full form mein hai aur ekdum dangerous dikh rahi hai.
Yeh Qualifier 2 ekdum blockbuster hone wala hai, kyunki MI ka batting depth aur bowling power PBKS ke balanced team se takrayega. History mein MI ne kabhi Eliminator khel ke IPL title nahi jeeta, toh yeh unke liye ek bada challenge hai. Is match ka winner RCB se 3 June 2025 ko Ahmedabad mein IPL final khelega, jo Qualifier 1 mein PBKS ko hara chuka hai.
MI ne GT ko Eliminator mein apne batting depth aur smart game plan se hara diya. Rohit Sharma ke 81 run aur Suryakumar Yadav ki classic innings ne 228/5 ka score banaya, jo GT ke liye thoda zyada hi tha. Sai Sudharsan ne khoob koshish ki, lekin Bumrah ke jadoo aur MI ki tight bowling ne GT ko rok diya. Ab MI ka focus Qualifier 2 pe hai, jahan PBKS ke saath ek bada dhamaka hone wala hai. MI apna saatva IPL title jeetne ke liye full josh mein hai, aur yeh Eliminator jeet ne unhe ekdum khatarnak team bana diya hai.
