Gujarat Titans (GT) registered a comprehensive 36-run victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 9 of the IPL 2025 season at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Saturday (March 29).
Asked to bat first, the Titans got off to a fabulous start as the duo of captain Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan added 78 runs for the opening wicket.
After Gill’s dismissal on 38, Sudharsan (63) forged a 51-run stand with Jos Buttler (39). However, rest of the batters failed to rise to the occasion as GT’s innings was limited to 196/8.
Defending the total, GT bowlers kept MI quiet and restricted them to just 160/6 in 20 overs despite the conditions being conducive to batting in the second innings. Suryakumar Yadav waged a lone battle with the bat, scoring 48 off 28 deliveries.
Prasidh Krishna was the stand-out bowler for Gujarat, picking up two wickets by conceding 18 runs in four overs. Mohammed Siraj dented MI at the start of the chase, removing both the openers to return with the figures of 2 for 34 in four overs.
Cricket fraternity lauded Gujarat Titans for their dominant display while also being critical of MI batters’ performance during the chase.
