Mumbai Indians (MI) batter Suryakumar Yadav suffered a blow to the helmet from a short delivery by Gujarat Titans (GT) pacer Prasidh Krishna during their IPL 2025 match in Ahmedabad on Saturday, March 29. The incident occurred in the 14th over of MI’s chase.
On the first ball of the over, Prasidh delivered a short-pitched slower ball. Suryakumar attempted a scoop shot, but the ball caught the top edge of his bat and struck the grill of his helmet. As a result, he fell to the ground after the impact. You can watch the video here:

Mohammed Siraj quickly rushed toward Suryakumar Yadav to check on him after he went down. Fortunately, the helmet absorbed the impact, preventing any serious injury, and he was able to get back on his feet and resume his innings.
Suryakumar Yadav lost his wicket to Prasidh Krishna in the 16th over
Mumbai faced a challenging target of 197 runs in the match. Suryakumar Yadav was MI’s standout performer with the bat, scoring 48 off 28 balls. However, he fell just short of a half-century, losing his wicket to Prasidh Krishna on the final ball of the 16th over. Attempting an aggressive shot against a slower delivery, he mistimed it, resulting in a catch by Shubman Gill at long-off.
MI ultimately managed 160/6, falling short by 36 runs. Prasidh Krishna was the pick of GT’s bowlers, delivering an economical spell of 4-0-18-2. Mohammed Siraj also made an impact with two key wickets, while Kagiso Rabada and Sai Kishore chipped in with one each.
With the bat, GT’s opener played a crucial role. Sai Sudharsan top-scored for the team with a 63-run knock off 41 balls, guiding Gujarat to their first win of the season. This victory propelled GT to third place on the IPL 2025 points table with two points from two matches. Meanwhile, MI remain winless after two games and are currently positioned second from the bottom in the standings.
