Tilak made an absolute meal of it.
Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar did not have mercy on Mumbai Indians (MI) batter Tilak Varma for dropping Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Shubman Gill during the ongoing MI vs GT clash in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025).
The incident happened on the second ball of the 12th over. Ashwani Kumar bowled a length ball just outside off as Gill ungainly swiped at it and the ball went straight up. Tilak managed to cover the distance easily from long on before making an absolute meal of it and squandering a golden opportunity.
Following the missed chance, Gavaskar questioned Tilak while commentating, who was spotted with multiple tapes around his fingers, ‘Are the fingers really injured?’

Earlier, MI posted 155 for 8 in 20 overs, with courtesy of Will Jacks’ fifty (53 off 35) and clinical cameos from Suryakumar Yadav (35 off 24) and Corbin Bosch (27 off 22).
Both teams will be eager to pick up the two points as the IPL 2025 battle intensifies. Mumbai Indians are currently placed third in the points table with seven wins from 11 games while GT are one spot below, having acquired 14 points in 10 games so far.
