Gujarat Titans (GT) continued their dominance over Mumbai Indians (MI) at their home ground, securing a 36-run victory. Setting a target of 197, GT’s innings was filled with promising starts but lacked a power finish. Sai Sudharsan’s 63 (41) anchored the innings, while Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler made impactful contributions before falling short of big scores.
Mumbai’s chase never gathered momentum, stumbling early as Mohammad Siraj’s fiery spell rattled the top order. Despite a brief resurgence from Suryakumar Yadav (48) and N. Tilak Varma, MI lost steam in the middle overs. Prasidh Krishna’s tight spell (2/18) and disciplined bowling from GT stifled their scoring. Hardik Pandya struggled with an 11 (17) knock, and late blows from Naman Dhir and Mitchell Santner only reduced the margin. Below, we see the player ratings for all the MI players.
Rohit Sharma (2/10), Ryan Rickelton (2/10):
Mumbai Indians needed their openers to fire in the run chase. But that couldn’t happen. Mohammed Siraj broke the back of the two openers. Rohit, despite hitting a couple of boundaries, got a jaffer. His IPL slump continues, averaging not more than 25 since IPL 2020. Meanwhile, Rickelton has had a poor start to his IPL career. For the second game running, Rickelton dragged on onto the stumps.
Tilak Varma (4/10):
Tilak Varma’s innings was divided into two halves. He was at 17 runs after nine balls. But then, the southpaw made 25 runs in his next 27 balls. That was a major slump in his batting. The GT spinners contained him. Tilak just couldn’t get in the groove post powerplay as his innings of 108.3 strike rate hampered MI’s chances.
Suryakumar Yadav (9/10): Best MI batter
By a distance, Suryakumar Yadav was Mumbai’s best batter. He was perhaps the only bright spot for MI, making runs after major failures in recent times. We got vintage SKY tonight, with the Indian T20I captain hammering scoops for sixes through the on side. When the required got over 15 and he kept losing partners, even he had to attempt a wild hoick and missed his fifty by a couple of runs.
Hardik Pandya (4.5/10): Great bowling, poor batting
The Ahmedabad crowd welcomed Hardik Pandya with cheers this time around. He even put up a stellar bowling performance as well. The MI captain bowled in the middle phase of the game and maintained an economy of 7.20, the best for his team. However, when it got tougher for batting, he couldn’t quite manage to negate the same type of slower ones. Pandya hit a painstaking 11 off 17.
