Expert View
This match-up will be a real test of Gill’s form and patience. Bumrah is lethal with the new ball, especially under playoff pressure. If Gill survives Bumrah’s first two overs, it could tilt the game in GT’s favor. But if Bumrah gets him early, MI will roar ahead in this crucial Eliminator.
Battle Verdict: Advantage Bumrah
But with the match being a knockout, expect Gill to come with intent. This face-off could very well decide the tone of the GT innings.
