Gujarat Titans’ chase was effectively derailed before it could even gather momentum. Bumrah set a punishing tone by getting out Sai Sudharsan for a golden duck on the first ball of the innings, a blow from which the Titans never really recovered. From that moment on, the GT batting line-up collapsed like a house of cards. Established stars Shubman Gill and If Buttler fell early leaving an inexperienced middle-order exposed to a relentless bowling attack. Impact Player Ashwani Kumar Claiming clinical figures of 4/24, he made the game a total failure. ably supported by Mitchell Santner and AM Ghazanfarhe took two wickets each to tighten the noose and dismiss GT for just 100 runs in just 15.5 overs. A defeat margin of 99 runs underscores MI’s status as a powerhouse this season, but for many fans, the lasting image of Match 30 will remain the sight of Siraj and Bumrah laughing together long after the dust settles.
