It’s been an interesting ride in the league stage for five-time champions Mumbai Indians, but a late flourish and a massive favour from Gujarat Titans has catapulted them to the playoffs of the Indian Premier League.
Despite winning their final fixture comprehensively at home against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday afternoon, Mumbai’s destiny wasn’t in their own hands. They needed the holders to quell Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last league match of the tournament to secure their berth in the Eliminator, and Shubman Gill did Rohit Sharma, his Indian captain, a good turn with a second successive century to lay the home side low at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
