GT Probable Playing 11 vs MI in IPL 2025 Eliminator 

Gujarat Titans enter the Eliminator needing a strong comeback after losing form late in the league stage. Without Jos Buttler, who departed for national duty, their batting will lean heavily on Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan. Kusal Mendis may slot in, but it is uncertain if he can fill the void left by Buttler. Bowling remains a concern—pace spearhead Prasidh Krishna has been excellent with 23 wickets, but Mohammed Siraj and Arshad Khan must step up early. Rashid Khan’s lack of impact this season adds to their worries. The Titans’ playoff hopes hinge on both leadership and an all-round team response.

 

GT Probable 11: Shubman Gill(c), Sai Sudharsan, Kusal Mendis(w), Shahrukh Khan, Washington Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Gerald Coetzee, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna

 

GT Full Squad IPL 2025:

MI Probable Playing 11 vs GT in IPL 2025 Eliminator 

Mumbai Indians face their own set of challenges heading into the Eliminator. With Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks unavailable, Jonny Bairstow is expected to partner Rohit Sharma at the top. Bairstow’s inclusion brings experience, but he will need to settle in quickly. Suryakumar Yadav remains the batting mainstay with over 600 runs, but Tilak Varma’s dip in form is a concern. The middle order will need to offer better support if MI are to post or chase competitive totals. On the bowling front, Mumbai still have an edge, with a seasoned attack led by Jasprit Bumrah and spinners capable of controlling the middle overs.

 

MI Probable 11: Rohit Sharma, Jonny Bairstow(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya(c), Naman Dhir, Raj Bawa, Mitchell Santner, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Richard Gleeson

 

MI Full Squad IPL 2025:
