Shubman Gill dropped, but Jos Buttler departs next ball to concussion sub in MI vs GT IPL 2025 match [Watch]

Mumbai Indians (MI) had two contrasting pieces of fortune off consecutive deliveries in their IPL 2025 match against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday, May 6. The incidents took place in the 12th over of GT’s chase.

Tilak Varma dropped an absolute dolly to give skipper Shubman Gill a reprieve on 35 before his batting partner Jos Buttler perished off the very next ball via caught behind.

Skipper Hardik Pandya took a great review as Buttler perished for 30 off 27 balls to end the 72-run partnership with Gill. The dismissal came off the third delivery of the 12th over.

Ashwani Kumar, who replaced Corbin Bosch via concussion substitute, made an instant impact. He bowled a length ball angling away from around off stump, and Buttler had to reach for it. The wicketkeeper-batter took a swipe over the cover but got a faint edge on its way to wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton. The on-field umpire remained unmoved, but Rickelton convinced Pandya to go for a review. Ultra-edge showed there was an inner edge.
