GT Beat MI By 36 Runs
On March 29, 2025 – The Narendra Modi Stadium of Ahmedabad saw a fight between the Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) when the atmosphere was quite electrifying. A big match full of expensive batting and keenly contesting bowling with drama on the edge of the seat.
A match where the spectators were on the edge of their seats as Gujarat Titans (GT) upset Mumbai Indians (MI) very closely but only barely managed to pull it off. A catchy all-round showing from the home team saw batters and bowlers standing up when the moment demanded of them.
1. Blazing Batting from GT's Top Order
Gujarat Titans would have never got off the blocks had the openers not set a perfect base. Shubman Gill, GT captain, batted like a captain and punched a brilliant 38 off 21 balls, comprising 4 fours and 1 sixes to give his side a steady momentum. That was well added to by Sai Sudharsan, whose contribution included a mammoth 63 off 41 balls 4 fours and 2 sixes before MI's bowlers struck back.
Mumbai Indians were backed by its bowlers like Hardik Pandiya to put a glass to GT's flow of runs. Pandiya helped MI survive with his bowling figure of 2/29 in 4 overs supplemented with excellent performances from his understudy. But, a late flourish from GT's lower order took them to a fighting total score of 196/8 in 20 overs.
Thus, Mumbai Indians fell apart as they were deprived of a meaningful start by the early exit of Rohit Sharma. But this did not stop the duo of Tilak Varma (39 off 36) and Suryakumar Yadav (48 off 28) from putting a solid stand together.
The turning point was when the star spinner of GT, prasidh Krishna took Suryakumar's wicket in the 16th over as the momentum switched towards GT. But it was too little, too late despite a late cameo from Hardik Pandya (11 off 17) since MI finished 36 runs short with 160 for 6 in 20 overs.
Player of the Match: Sai Sudharsan
Sai scored a match-winning knock(63) and was awarded Player of Match title. His composed innings under pressure between losses well set GT's tone for the win.
GT Home Fortress Stays Firm: Gujarat Titans continued their hegemony at Narendra Modi Stadium.
MI's Middle Order Fumbles: MI's batting has flashes of brilliance but requires more real consistency.
👉Gujarat Titans will carry that momentum as they head into their next fixture.
👉Mumbai Indians need to regroup very quickly as they try to bounce back in the tournament.
