Hardik Pandy has accumulated a rich praise for Jasprit Bumrah, and called the ace Pacer for invaluable assets after the Indians defeated the Gujarat Titans on Friday 20 runs in IPL 2025 Eliminator. The captain told me to have Bumhrah fit and firing at the business end of the tournament was nothing but luxury.
In the high score competition, which produced 448 runs on 40 overs at the Narendra Modi stadium, Bumrah came back with miserable magic and admitted only 27 runs from his four exceeding. Against the quality unit of Titans Gujarat Titans, Bumrah was again Trump card – he delivered at the exact moment when his captain needed him most.
“It’s like housing prices in Mumbai – it’s so expensive,” the hardship joked at the presentation after the match. “If you have it, it’s a luxury. I just watched the result table and thought that if we could save a few runs to the end, I had a pitch to defend it. It was important that Jasi came and bow to extend the edge,” Bumhrah was strategically deployed.
Hardik admitted that it was not complicated to the captain of Bumhra’s caliber and joked that it was simply a question of convening when things begin to get worse.
“It’s very simple. It’s not difficult at all. Whenever you think the game will disappear, just bring it,” the hardship said with a smile.
Despite publishing me 228, she chased the chase in the middle of the stamp. Sai Sudharsan, who became the youngest body that scored 700 runs in the IPL season, was in a sensational touch. Together with Washington Sundar, the duo sewed together a 84 -run attitude of only 44 supplies, with Gujarat brought to 148 in 2 breaks – and to the impact distance.
When the match slipped away, the hardik turned to his most trusted weapon. Bumrah responded to what many call the ball of tournaments – not playable to the top glitter that Washington Sundar threw and stopped Gujarat’s dynamics. Soon after, Sudharsan died for the brave 80, and Gujarat’s persecuted the required rate of climbing.
Bumraův 14. Through there are only four runs and he returned to add another gem at 18. – he admitted only nine. The Trio of Deaths Bumhrah, Trent Boult, Ashwani Kumar and Richard Gleeson closed the match clinically and eventually Mumbai finally closed a comfortable victory.
Bumrah now has 18 goals in 11 matches at an economic rate of only 6.36 – a barely believable return in the season dominated by dough.
Jonny and ro
Hardik also praised Mumbai’s introductory couple, especially Rohit Sharma and Jonny Bairstow, for setting the tone with the bat. Rohit broke Fluent 81 out of 50 balls to claim the Match prize player, while BairStow, who played his first game of the season, lights up PowerPlay with 22-Míček 47.
“The way Jonny burned for him to make his debut for us – it is a strange franchise – and he plays as he did, it was strange,” Hardik said. “And roh, as he detonated. He took the time and once he got to the rhythm, it was beautiful to watch.”
The Bombai Indians will now head again to Ahmedabad, where they will face the Pandjab kings on Sunday in qualifying 2 to the IPL 2025 final.
