Rohit Sharma and Jonny Bairstow teamed up to get MI off to a flier in IPL 2025 Eliminator clash vs GT
Rohit Sharma had a new opening partner in the form of Jonny Bairstow for the crucial encounter. The two came out all guns blazing, taking the GT bowlers to the cleaners right from the word go.
Bairstow was the aggressor in the partnership initially. However, Sharma too got going and launched an onslaught against Sai Kishore to end the powerplay on a high note.
The two swashbuckling batters formed a stunning 84-run partnership off 44 deliveries. Sai Kishore broke the stand, drawing first blood for his side by removing the dangerous Bairstow in the eighth over.
The English keeper-batter missed out on a half-century, perishing after scoring 47 runs from 22 balls. He did a commendable job on his MI debut, playing an impactful knock.
