Islamabad, May 31, 2025: The Eliminator clash of the Indian Premier League 2025 between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans delivered a spellbinding contest on Friday, filled with drama and high-intensity moments. In the thrilling game, GT’s Kusal Mendis made an unfortunate mark in the tournament’s history with a rare and bizarre dismissal.
Coming in to bat at number 3 during GT’s chase of 229, Kusal Mendis was off to a good start, scoring 20 runs in 9 balls with the help of one four and two sixes. However, his stay at the crease ended unexpectedly when he lost balance while attempting a shot, causing his back leg to hit the stumps.
