Gujarat Titans got a disappointing end to their IPL 2025 campaign as they ended up losing the eliminator of IPL 2025 against Mumbai Indians in Mullanpur on May 30. GT were once at the top of the points table half-away through the tournament but ended up finishing at the third spot after the end of the league stage. After that, the 2022 champions couldn’t continue momentum in the playoffs as MI went on to defeat them after two years.
GT failed to chase a mammoth target of 229 runs against MI and their IPL 2025 campaign was ended with a 20-run defeat. After the match, the family members of GT players left heartbroken. In a viral video, GT skipper Shubman Gill’s Shahneel had tears in her eyes, while head coach Ashish Nehra’s son was also seen crying after the match.

Last 2-3 games didn’t go our way: Shubman Gill
After the match, Shubman Gill accepted that GT weren’t able to continue their form in the last two or three matches. GT finished with nine wins and five losses in the league stage and lost their last three matches consecutively including the eliminator. In reply to MI’s 228/5, GT were restricted at 208/6.
“Brilliant game of cricket, we were right in it. Last three-four overs didn't go our way but still a good game. Definitely not easy when we drop 3 sitters. Wasn't easy for the bowlers to control and doesn't help when you drop 3 catches. Message was simple (for Sai and Washington). Just play the game you want to play and the goal was the same for both of them to make us win. Because of the dew, the wicket did become little easier for us. Definitely lot of positives for us. Last 2-3 games didn't go our way but credit to all the players, especially Sai - he was terrific for us this season. 210 would've been par for us on this pitch,” Gill said at the post-match presentation.
