Corbin Bosch Shines As Mumbai Indians Set 156 Against Titans

In a thrilling IPL 2025 match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Titans (GT) on May 6, 2025, Corbin Bosch played a crucial role in lifting MI to a total of 155/8 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Bosch's late cameo was instrumental in rescuing MI from a precarious position, as they seemed destined to finish with a score under 130 at one point.

The match began with GT winning the toss and electing to field first. MI's innings got off to a rocky start, with openers Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma falling cheaply for just two and seven runs, respectively. By the time Bosch entered the fray in the 14th over, MI's score had plummeted to 113-6, following a dramatic collapse.

Despite the dire situation, Bosch approached his innings with determination. He initially played cautiously, but his real impact came in the final overs. In the 19th over, he struck a four off Mohammed Siraj, signaling the start of his aggressive play. The 20th over saw Bosch unleash a spectacular display of power hitting, launching two back-to-back sixes off Prasidh Krishna. The second six was particularly memorable, showcasing his skill and fearlessness as he executed a stunning reverse scoop that sailed over backward point.

Overall, Bosch's innings of 27 runs off 22 balls included one four and two sixes, achieving a strike rate of 122.73. His partnership with Deepak Chahar was vital, as they added 27 runs in just 20 balls, helping MI to a respectable total. Unfortunately, Bosch's match came to an early end due to a concussion, and he was replaced by Ashwani Kumar.

Prior to Bosch's heroics, MI had experienced a brief period of stability courtesy of a third-wicket partnership between Will Jacks and Suryakumar Yadav. The duo put together a solid 71-run stand off 43 balls, which was crucial in setting the stage for MI's innings. Suryakumar scored 35 runs off 24 balls at a strike rate of 145.83 before falling to R Sai Kishore, who also claimed the wicket of MI captain Hardik Pandya. Jacks, on the other hand, contributed a well-played 53 runs off 35 balls, including five fours and three sixes, at a strike rate of 151.43.

GT's bowlers were on point throughout the innings, with every bowler chipping in with at least one wicket. Sai Kishore was particularly effective, taking key wickets and putting MI under pressure at crucial moments.

As MI set a target of 156 runs for GT, the match was poised for an exciting chase. The standout moment of the innings, however, came in the final over when Jos Buttler executed a sensational no-look run-out to dismiss Bosch, reminiscent of MS Dhoni's legendary wicketkeeping skills. Buttler's quick reflexes and awareness allowed him to throw down the stumps with precision, catching Bosch short of his ground as he attempted a second run.

Buttler's performance this season has been impressive, with 470 runs in 11 matches, playing a pivotal role in GT's playoff aspirations. His contributions with both bat and gloves have made him a player to watch, and this run-out only added to his growing list of highlights in IPL 2025.

The match remains ongoing, with GT now at the crease and looking to chase down MI's total. With the excitement building, fans are on the edge of their seats, eager to see if GT can overcome the challenge set by MI's formidable total.

As the action unfolds, one thing is certain: the IPL 2025 has once again delivered thrilling moments, showcasing the incredible talent and drama that makes cricket such a beloved sport.
