100 (15.5/20)
199/5 (20.0/20)
Mumbai Indians beat Gujarat Titans by 99 runs
What's on the menu for Tuesday? Up next on 21st April, the action moves to Hyderabad, where the Sunrisers will square off against the Delhi Capitals. Hyderabad have won their last couple of games, while Delhi are coming off a win over the reigning champions in Bengaluru. The game will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). Our build-up will be up and running well before that. See you then. Cheers!
Is this the night it all turns around for MI? Well, the five-time champions will certainly hope so. History shows they know how to bounce back, and this win not only gives them momentum but also a much-needed boost to their net run rate. Up next, they face familiar rivals, Chennai Super Kings at home on Thursday, 23rd April. As for the Gujarat Titans, they came into this game on a three-match winning streak, but this heavy defeat will sting. They now travel to take on the defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, on Friday, 24th April.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - No surprises there, Tilak Varma takes the award for his heroics. His stunning 45-ball 101* included 8 fours and 7 sixes. Varma says that the first hundred will always be special. Adds that it was very important for them to win this one. Mentions that in the first five games, he didn't spend much time in the middle, but here he took his time, and knew that once set, he could accelerate well. Varma shares that he was just trying to keep a still base, and when you are under pressure, you just have to back your skills, and it paid off. Also praises Naman Dhir for the way he batted, and it was a crucial partnership. Ends by saying that he is very proud of himself for the way he batted.
The captain of the Mumbai Indians - Hardik Pandya says it is a very important win. He adds that it is always challenging to win away from home, especially in Ahmedabad, which has been a tough venue for them. He feels the team played good cricket and says the result is very special because it was much needed. Hardik mentions that he kept telling Tilak to keep watching the ball, and says it was about time he stepped up and delivered. Opines that Jasprit Bumrah is special and should be used when the team requires him, not necessarily at the start, but tonight, they needed to make inroads with the new ball, so he bowled upfront. Pandya also praises the youngsters, saying the group needed that energy. Adds that Krish Bhagat bowled in the right areas and calls Ashwani's effort amazing.
Time for the presentation ceremony...
A quick word with one of MI's stars - Ashwani Kumar says that, looking at the surface, he quickly learned that length balls were the way to go here. Adds that he planned with skipper Hardik Pandya where to bowl, and it all worked out well. Ashwani mentions that just like last season, he was ready, waiting for his opportunity and wanted to make an impact for the team.
The captain of the Gujarat Titans - Shubman Gill says that they gave away too many runs in the middle and death overs. Adds that on a wicket like this, 160-170 would have been a par score, and there are a lot of learnings to take from it. Mentions that hopefully this is just a small hiccup and they have two games on the road, where they will look to come back stronger. Shubman says that they didn't hit the right areas, some of the balls were coming on, some were not, but they needed to be better with the ball. Ends by saying that the wicket might have gotten a bit better to bat on with dew, but they didn't make the most of it.
Tilak turned the tide with a maiden IPL ton - After opting to bowl first on a black soil surface, the Gujarat Titans landed the first blow in this contest, with Kagiso Rabada striking thrice in the Powerplay. Naman Dhir and Tilak Varma then stitched together a partnership, but Dhir could not last long enough. Tilak took charge from there as he put behind him his early struggles. He was 19 off 22 at one stage, and the second timeout changed everything for him as he went on to score 82 off the next 23 balls. Varma brought up a 45-ball hundred, the joint-fastest for Mumbai in the IPL, drawing level with Sanath Jayasuriya. GT left much to be desired with their death bowling as MI finished with 199.
Early blows left GT with no way back - With 96 runs coming off the last 6 overs of their innings, Mumbai carried that momentum into their bowling effort, and it all kickstarted with Jasprit Bumrah striking off the very first ball. That was his first wicket of the season, and from there, MI rode the wave. It was one of those rare nights for Gujarat where none of their top three clicked, and all fell inside the Powerplay. The middle order could not rise to the occasion either, as the tourists kept chipping away. Ashwani Kumar starred with a four-wicket haul, including the prized scalp of the GT skipper.
Mumbai Indians snap the losing streak - History was against them, having never beaten the Gujarat Titans at this venue before, and given the form, GT came in as the favourites. For the first 14 overs of the game, it seemed to be heading that way, but Tilak Varma sparked the turnaround, and from there, it was a domino effect. Gujarat have been handed their biggest defeat in terms of runs in the IPL. The 99-run loss surpasses their previous heaviest defeat, which was an 83-run loss against CSK last season.

AM Ghazanfar To Mohammed Siraj OUT!
OUT! LBW! Mumbai Indians win by 99 runs. AM Ghazanfar wraps things up here, or does he? Mohammed Siraj has taken the review here, but if there is no bat involved, this looks plumb. The on-field call is Out. This is tossed up, full and on middle, turns in a bit. Mohammed Siraj goes down for the sweep but misses it completely, getting hit on the pads right in front of the stumps. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds, with the ball crashing into the middle stump.

Strategic Break! Gujarat Titans are staring down the barrel here, and the result is pretty much inevitable now. It has been a dismal batting display from the hosts, and the Mumbai Indians are just a couple of good balls away from beating the Titans for the first time at this venue. They will look to wrap things up quickly here to improve the NRR as well. Ashok Sharma joins Kagiso Rabada out in the middle.

OUT! TAKEN! The night just keeps getting better for Ashwani Kumar. If there was any hope left for the Titans, this should be it. Ashwani dishes out the short ball and gets it high enough to trouble the batter. It is at the bodyline of the batter and Shahrukh Khan swivels for the pull. He is rushed and the ball gets big on him. It goes straight down the throat of deep backward square leg, where Naman Dhir gobbles it up. Third catch of the night for Dhir and it is wicket number four for Ashwani.

Ashwani Kumar To Rahul Tewatia OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Wicket number 2 for MI's Impact Sub. GT suffer another dent in the chase. Seam-up ball, on a good length, in the corridor of uncertainty. With third man inside the circle, Tewatia looks to use the pace of the ball and glide it past short third with an open bat face. The ball grazes the outside edge and the keeper, Quinton de Kock takes a safe catch to his left.

Ashwani Kumar To Rahul Tewatia
Wide! Quinton de Kock disagrees with the wide call and Hardik Pandya sends it upstairs. Wide called for height. Kumar takes pace off and bangs it in short, outside off. Tewatia lets it pass.

STRATEGIC BREAK! It has all come together really nicely for the Mumbai Indians so far. Gujarat Titans are in deep trouble, and with only Rashid Khan to come, there is not much batting left. If there is to be a turnaround from here, it has to come from this pair, and they have not had much to do so far in the tournament. AM Ghazanfar and Mitchell Santner have been quick to understand the pace to bowl on this surface, and with the required rate already over 12, the spin twins will make it all the more difficult for the home side.

Glenn Phillips moves back and looks to pat it down the ground, but goes through the shot a bit early. He ends up just lobbing it tamely wide of the bowler, where Santner dives to his right on the follow-through and takes a sharp return catch just inches above the ground.

Mitchell Santner To Washington Sundar OUT!
OUT! SUPERB GRAB IN THE DEEP! Mitchell Santner strikes with his second ball. Not a wicket-taking delivery as he drags this one down, on middle. Washington Sundar opens up his stance and pulls it away. He connects well, and it flies towards the deep mid-wicket fence. It looks to be going over, but Naman Dhir near the ropes times his leap to perfection, grabbing the ball above his head while being airborne. He does well to keep his feet inside after landing. Hardik Pandya is all smiles, and MI are on top here.
Taken by Naman Dhir at deep mid-wicket. The third umpire has been summoned to check if Dhir's feet were in contact with the boundary rope. A fine balancing act in the deep and it is a clean effort.

Ashwani Kumar To Shubman Gill OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Ashwani Kumar gets the big fish. Talk about making an impact as an Impact Sub. Kumar hits the deck and gets a bit of lift off the surface, on a short of a good length, on middle and leg. Gill is tucked up for room and cannot get his hands through the ball in the desired fashion for the pull. Ends up jabbing at it and he fails to get on top of the bounce. Gets a top edge and it flies straight down the throat of deep square leg, where Naman Dhir makes no mistake. Shubman knew it straight away, and he admonished himself as soon as the ball went up.

Hardik Pandya To Washington Sundar
FOUR! Width offered and Sundar cashes in! A loose ball by Hardik. Short and wide on off, there to be put away and Washington does not miss out. He frees his arms and stands tall on his toes before cutting it through covers for the third boundary of the over.

Hardik Pandya To Jos Buttler OUT!
OUT! LBW! Hardik Pandya also strikes in the first over. A decision that could have gone either way, but it goes in MI's favour, and GT have been rocked early. Bowled from wide of the crease by Hardik. This swings back into the right-hander, on a good length, on leg. Buttler hops to flick it away but is beaten on the inside edge and wears it on the front pad. Rapped on the pads and the finger is raised. Jos Buttler has a chat with his partner at the other end and goes for the review. No bat involved but the Ball Tracking comes up as umpire's call with the ball clipping the top of the leg pole. Jos throws his head back as he watches the replay on the big screen. The on-field decision has been upheld. GT are 5/2, chasing 200.

Jasprit Bumrah To Sai Sudharsan OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! What a start for the Mumbai Indians. Jasprit Bumrah strikes with his first ball and the drought is over. First wicket of the season for Bumrah, yes, you read that right. Shaping away from the left-hander, full in length. Sudharsan pushes out in front of his body with hard hands. The ball leaves him and the bat turns in Sai's hands. It balloons to cover, where Krish Bhagat takes the catch in reverse cup style over his left shoulder on the edge of the ring.
