Mallanpur :The IPL 2025 Eliminator ended not just with a scoreboard shock but with tears in the stands, as Gujarat Titans bowed out of the tournament following a heartbreaking 20-run loss to Mumbai Indians.
What unfolded after the final ball was as emotional as the match itself. Ashish Nehra’s young son, unable to contain his emotions, was seen sobbing as the Titans’ dreams slipped away. On the other side of the dugout, Shubman Gill’s sister, Shahneel Gill, looked devastated, wiping away tears after watching her brother’s team crash out of the competition.
The Titans were dealt an early blow in their chase of Mumbai’s towering 228-run target when captain Shubman Gill fell in the first over for just 1 run. It set the tone for a difficult innings. Despite a valiant 80-run knock by Sai Sudharsan, the task proved too much for Gujarat as Mumbai tightened their grip and sealed the game.
The visuals of Gill’s sister and Nehra’s son have since gone viral — not for drama, but for what they represent: the deep emotional bond between families and the game. These aren’t just matches; they’re personal journeys filled with pride, heartbreak, and hope.
Though GT’s journey ends here, the images from the stands will be remembered as much as the runs on the board. IPL 2025 continues, but for some, the season ended with tears.
Watch how they got emotional:
