Gill has consistently hit MI's bowlers with a strike rate of 148.90 and an average of 36.76. His ability to balance aggression with stability makes him a major threat.
He can alter the outcome of a game on his alone, as seen by his best score of 129 vs MI. A century against a top-tier team like Mumbai highlights his big-match temperament.
It has been 13 innings since Shubman Gill was out for a duck against MI. This top-level dependability provides GT with a strong base.
With 43 fours and 21 sixes, Gill has shown he can exploit MI’s bowling attack with ease. His ability to find gaps and clear the ropes makes him a dangerous opener.
With 4 fifties in his last five games, Gill is already among the top IPL 2025 run producers. However, facing Jasprit Bumrah and Co. at the Wankhede—a ground known for its batting-friendly conditions—will be a real test.
If Gill gets going, GT could post or chase a big total, putting immense pressure on MI’s bowling unit. However, with Bumrah’s lethal yorkers and MI’s strong death bowling, Gill will need to be at his absolute best.
Gill’s form and past dominance against MI make him the key player in tonight’s clash. If he delivers another big knock, GT could pull off an upset at the Wankhede.
Will Gill rise to the occasion, or will MI’s bowlers finally get the better of him? The answer awaits in what promises to be a thrilling encounter!
