Boult, renowned for his lethal swing, rejoined MI this season after being picked up for Rs 12.5 crore in the IPL mega auction.

His partnership with Bumrah, which was a cornerstone of MI’s 2020 title triumph, has been rekindled in the 2025 campaign, continuing to be one of the team’s major strengths both on and off the field.

These light-hearted exchanges reflect the unity and upbeat mood within the MI camp, as they head into the knockout game hoping that their talent and team spirit can take them deeper into the tournament.

Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans also adopted a fun approach in their build-up to the same clash. Head coach Ashish Nehra added a refreshing touch to the training session by organizing a lively game of football. Known for his expressive presence and laid-back coaching style, Nehra’s decision to bring football into the mix reflects his belief in keeping things simple while promoting a relaxed, team-first atmosphere.
