Gujarat Titans (GT) opened their account IPL 2025 Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad with a 36 -run win over Mumbai Indians (MI) at his home ground.
After batting first, Titans took the most advantage of the powerplay as Captain Shubman Gill (27 Ruk 38) and Sai Reformson (63 for 41) provided a flying start. Both took the team at 66/0 in six overs. However, MI bowlers pulled back the things after the fielding ban was lifted. Hardik Pandya continued his record on Gill by rejecting him for the fourth time in T20 cricket.
Jose Butler (39 out of 24) played an important role in the middle overs, but the visitors took wickets at regular intervals, stopping GT from posting more than 200 scores. Despite the late collapse, where the side lost five wickets in quick succession, he managed to reach 196/8 in 20 overs. For Mumbai, Pandya (2/29) was a pickle of bowlers, while Trent Bault, Deepak Four, and Mujib ur Rehman also pasted with one wicket.
Chase landed for a devastating start for a five -time champion, as Mohammad Sirj rejected former captain Rohit Sharma for just 8 in the first over. Siraj again hit in the fifth over to send Ryan Recelton (6) back, as MI managed to score 48 runs in the powerplay. Suryakumar Yadav (48 for 28) and Tilak Verma (36 runs 36) tried to stabilize the innings, but the required run rate kept increasing.
The famous Krishna (2/18) gave a brilliant mantra after being brought after the 11th over. He first rejected Tilak when he wanted to go for big shots. Suryakumar soon caught Gill. Failed to provide much more necessary acceleration with lower order, MI eventually managed only 160/6 in 20 overs. GT bowlers executed their plans brilliantly, in which Prasad and Mohammad Sirj took two wickets in each. Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore were economical and were with one wicket.
This disadvantage makes MI's second consecutive defeat in this season. Pandya's return as Captain has not brought positive results, and the five -time champion needs to re -organize his first win of the season. On the other hand, Gujarat will get relief to get their first points on the board and to carry on the same speed.
