jonny bairstow

IPL 2025: Jonny Bairstow has recently made headlines for his impressive performance in the IPL 2025 Eliminator for Mumbai Indians (MI) against Gujarat Titans (GT). He was a late replacement signing for MI for the playoffs and immediately made an impact with a quickfire 47 runs off 22 balls, setting a strong foundation for his team. This performance was particularly notable as he had gone unsold in the initial IPL auction.
County Championship: Before his IPL call-up, he scored 525 runs across 12 innings for Yorkshire at an average of 52.50 in the 2025 County Championship.
England Selection: He was not included in England's ODI and T20I squads for their series against West Indies, which may have fueled his desire to perform well in the IPL.
