IPL 2025: 'Things Can Get Tricky', Says Kumble On MI's Playoffs Hopes After Loss To GT
Indian Premier League: After Mumbai Indians' three-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans via the DLS method dropped them to fourth in the standings, former India coach Anil Kumble said MI's playoff chances could get tricky, highlighting that they must win their remaining two matches to secure a knockout spot without depending on other results.
MI, who had a dismal start to their campaign with just one win in the first five games, quickly revived their campaign in style with a six-match unbeaten streak and briefly topped the points table. But their winning march was halted by GT at home on Tuesday, and the defeat has huge implications for their hopes of a top-two finish.
Wins in both their games should seal a berth in the playoffs for MI at 18 points, but that doesn't guarantee them a top-two finish, as Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Titans, and Punjab Kings can all go past the 18-point mark. One win can still take MI to the playoffs Offs but will need other results to go their way.
