Avneet Kaur was spotted in the stands at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium in Mullanpur as the IPL 2025 Eliminator between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians got underway. Her presence added star power to an already high-stakes clash, with fans buzzing both in the stadium and on social media.
Mumbai Indians, led by Hardik Pandya , won the toss and chose to bat first—backing their strength at the top and reading the Mullanpur pitch correctly. Historically, teams batting first have done well here, and MI were quick to justify that decision.

Jonny Bairstow, who received his MI cap from Rohit Sharma before the match, walked out to open with the former captain. The experienced pair got off to a flyer, dismantling GT’s new-ball bowlers and racing away to 79 without loss in the Powerplay. The opening burst set the tone for what could be a big total in this knockout clash.
Gujarat Titans, meanwhile, had to rejig their side due to the absence of Jos Buttler, who returned to England for national duties. Kusal Mendis was brought in as his replacement. Behind the stumps, Anuj Rawat took the gloves with Kumar Kushagra also in the XI but fielding at a distance.
Quiz: Who's that IPL player?
There are concerns over weather, with dark clouds hovering over the ground and a forecast hinting at possible thunderstorms. But for now, it's Mumbai Indians who have made all the noise—both on the scoreboard and in the stands.
