Shubman Gill out for just 1 run in IPL 2025 Eliminator vs MI; fans declare 'It's over for GT'
Mumbai Indians (MI) first posted a massive total of 228/5 in 20 overs and then, while defending the score, they struck early by dismissing Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Shubman Gill in the very first over！for just 1 run.
The dangerous Mumbai Indians (MI) continue to prove why they are five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions. In the Eliminator, held at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, they first posted a massive total of 228/5 in 20 overs. Then, while defending the score, they struck early by dismissing Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Shubman Gill in the very first over！for just 1 run.
Trent Boult gave MI a dream start, swinging one in full on middle and leg. Shubman Gill attempted a premeditated slog across the line, missed, and was struck flush on the pad. The umpire raised his finger instantly. Gill reviewed, hoping it pitched outside leg, but ball tracking confirmed it didn't. The decision stood and this marked Gill's first-ever single-digit score in IPL knockout matches.

Fans believe it's over for GT
Heading into the Playoffs, both teams faced key absences especially GT who were without Jos Buttler, the star batter who scored over 500 runs in the league stage. With Gill's wicket and no Buttler in the side, fans on social media, especially X (formerly known as Twitter) declared that this game has gone in the hands of MI.
One said, "Shubman Gill Gujrat k kaptaan sirf 2 gendon k mehmaan." (Translation: Shubman Gill, Gujarat's captain, was a guest for only 2 balls.)
Shubman gill Gujrat k kaptaan sirf 2 gendon k mehmaan.
