MI vs GT Match Analysis
The Mumbai Indians are set to host Gujarat Titans in a high-voltage encounter at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. The match kicks off at 7:30 PM IST under the lights, with playoff spots getting tighter as we near the business end of the IPL 2025.
The Mumbai Indians have hit peak form just in time, led by a blend of seasoned campaigners and fresh faces. Under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, MI’s aggressive style of play has returned, especially with their explosive top order and in-form bowlers.
After bulldozing Sunrisers Hyderabad, the Gujarat Titans aren’t just confident—they’re strutting like they own the cricketing cosmos. Shubman Gill’s thoughtful captaincy and Rashid Khan;s complete all-round performance-they’ve thrown themselves right into the mix at moments that matter.
Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat TitansTeam Preview & Squads
Mumbai Indians
Hardik Pandya will re-enter the Mumbai Indians’ plans as a captain, along with a fresh burst of energy and a carefully planned attack. Hardik Pandya’s all-around game and captaincy will play a significant role in MI’s season this year.
Mumbai’s batting unit looks formidable with Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma providing consistency and firepower. Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks add flexibility at the top and middle. With Hardik and Naman Dhir adding lower-order firepower, MI’s batting goes deep.
I am spoiled for bowling options, featuring the seam trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Deepak Chahar, and Trent Boult, who have been unplayable. Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mitchell Santner provide different types of spin, and Reece Topley adds some left-arm shape and bounce. Even Arjun Tendulkar and Karn Sharma are solid backups.
In their last encounter against the Rajasthan Royals (50th Match at Jaipur), MI had scored 217/2, due to enterprising batting from the top order. In reply, the Rajasthan Royals scored an embarrassing total of 117, bowled all out in 16.1 overs, with MI bowlers relentless in their dismissal of batsmen. MI had won the match.

Gujarat Titans
Shubman Gill leads Gujarat Titans with elegance and calculated aggression. Known for his calm demeanor, Gill has grown into the captain’s role with maturity beyond his years. His contributions with the bat and his ability to guide younger players make him a valuable asset.
GT’s batting lineup features explosive hitters like Jos Buttler, Sherfane Rutherford, and Shahrukh Khan. With Sudharsan and Dasun Shanaka stabilizing the middle, and Rahul Tewatia as the finisher, they’ve got a versatile setup. The top order looks dangerous with Gill setting the tone.
The Titans’ bowling unit has some pace and spin firepower on it. Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, and Gerald Coetzee make for a very potent pace attack, while spin is covered by Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore. Tewatia, Washington Sundar, and Jayant Yadav bring variety and cover all aspects of the game.
Gujarat Titans faced off against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last game (51st Match at Ahmedabad). GT had a huge total of 224/6 thanks to big hitting from their upper and middle orders. Although SRH made a decent effort in the chase, they only managed 186/6 in their 20 overs. The GT bowlers were disciplined and bowled the right lines and got the wickets they needed to keep the chase under control.
