Full Episode:

Prasidh Krishna has been awarded the 'Player of the Match' award. A superb spell in the middle overs, finishing with figures of 4-0-18-2. Who were the two wickets you ask? None other than Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav. Changed the game in GT's favour.

Hardik Pandya brutally dissects Mumbai Indians' defeat, and states that they under-performed with both bat and ball tonight. Also says that is important for the batting to step up, which has failed to cross more than 160 in both games.

Big defeats against both CSK and GT.

Gujarat Titans BEAT Mumbai Indians! A very well-deserved, well-earned victory for the 2022 champions, as they win by 36 runs. More agony for MI, whose India stars just cannot get it together in this shade of blue.

MI 160/6 (20 overs)

One final over to go. Some boundaries here by Mitch Santner and Naman Dhir, but too little too late. 46 needed off the last over, which will almost certainly not happen. Gujarat Titans are set to claim a well-deserved win. Held their nerves under pressure with both bat and ball.

Mumbai Indians now need 56 runs off 9 balls. If GT bowl legal deliveries from here on, they will pick up their first win of IPL 2025.

MI 141/6 (18.3)

4 over, 2/18. Incredible middle overs spell by Prasidh Krishna. Game-changing. Brought in when MI were very much in the chase, and took two humongous wickets under pressure. Certainly a contender for 'Player of the Match'!

MI need 63 in 2 overs.

MI 134/6 (18)

Surely that is game over! Hardik Pandya mistimes it, Kagiso Rabada strikes. Mumbai Indians are staring at a second consecutive defeat in IPL 2025.

MI 124/6 (17)

GONE! Suryakumar Yadav is out! Prasidh Krishna has worked his magic once again, what a spell this is turning out to be from him. Excellent slower ball, SKY sends it straight up, Shubman Gill runs in from mid-off and takes a comfortable catch. GT can smell victory now!

MI 120/5 (16)

Hardik Pandya and Sai Kishore stare each other down! Hardik seemingly drops the F-word bomb, and dismissively gestures at the off-spinner. A good over by Sai Kishore nonetheless, who finishes his spell. Required rate for MI keeps climibing, up to 15.8 an over!

MI 118/4 (15)

Prasidh Krishna has made a great start to his spell. Two overs bowled, just six runs conceded. And the big wicket of Tilak Varma in there as well. He is making his impact in the middle overs and piling on the pressure on MI.

MI 112/4 (14)

A LOT of pressure now on Mumbai Indians. Two vastly experienced finishers out in the middle, who've anchored plenty of successful run chases before. But they need many, many big hits here. Asking rate has soared above 14.

MI 112/4 (14)

Suryakumar Yadav has taken a big blow to the helmet. Sharp bouncer by Prasidh, SKY loses his balance a bit, and it hits him on the helmet grill. He falls flat on the floor, players and medical staff run up to him. He does get up eventually, but seems to have copped a blow on the eye. 

A huge save by the helmet. That could've been very nasty.

Robin Minz is gone! Sai Kishore has struck in his third over. Sent up the order, the impact sub just has not worked for Mumbai Indians. SKY is very well set at one end, but he needs good support now to take MI home. Hardik has walked in, and the crowd is chanting 'Hardik, Hardik'! What a change of events!

MI 108/4 (13)

100 up for Mumbai Indians. Suryakumar Yadav is well set, but MI have taken a huge gamble and sent in Robin Minz up the order as an Impact Player, ahead of Hardik Pandya. 98 more needed, and the asking rate is nearly 13 now.

MI 100/3 (12.1)

There's the big wicket! Tilak Varma goes, Prasidh Krishna strikes! Tilak was getting quite slow out there, needed a move on, tries to go big but picks out long on. Rahul Tewatia in the deep is safe as houses. Much-needed wicket for GT.

Prasidh making a difference in his very first over. The decision to hand him the ball has worked very well.

MI 97/3 (11.3)

Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma have done an excellent rebuild job here. Partnership is over 60 now, and the required run-rate is very gettable - just over 11. Plenty of time for these two to go berserk. Hardik Pandya is still to come!

MI 97/2 (11)

Suryakumar Yadav, wow! Steps away from the stumps, gives himself room and plays it inside out over extra cover. Unbelievable hit for 6 from Suryakumar Yadav, off the bowling of Sai Kishore. Up to 36 off 19 now.

MI 94/2 (10.3)

Eoin Morgan in the commentary box speculates that it is not cramp for Sai Sudharsan, but could well be a hamstring injury. Sai Sudharsan is unable to walk properly, and is being helped along by GT support staff. It will be a monstrous blow for them if he is injured.

10 overs done, MI need 111 more to win.

MI 86/2 (10)

Sai Kishore was bowling an excellent over after coming into the attack, but Suryakumar Yadav picks up a boundary on the final ball. He's been hitting the sweep on every ball, and got the boundary. A GT fielder seems to be injured at the boundary - it's Sai Sudharsan! That could be a big loss for GT if it is anything serious.

MI 80/2 (9)

What a shot! Pitched short by Ishant and it is classic Suryakumar Yadav. Flicked away over fine leg for six. Amazing shot, made it look so easy. MI need some of these hits. Are we in for a SKY masterclass today?

MI 67/2 (7.4)

GT continue their momentum. In a great position now, as Rabada bowls a fine over. Concedes just 6 runs. However, with Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma at the crease, you cannot count the five-time champions out at any point.

MI 54/2 (7)

Good start by Rashid Khan. MI manage only 4 runs off his over, and they've hit a bit of a road block. They'll need to navigate the spinners well here, with Rashid already into the attack and Sai Kishore expected soon. 

48 runs off the powerplay for MI. Gujarat had managed 66!

MI 48/2 (6)

Rashid Khan thought he got the wicket of Tilak Varma straight away, but a confident review by the young batter. And it is NOT OUT! The umpire has to overturn his LBW decision. Tilak tried a reverse sweep, missed it, but it did hit his gloves.

MI 44/2 (5.1)

Big hit by Suryakumar Yadav! Picks up a six off Siraj, and then ends the fifth over with a couple of runs. MI get 12 runs off the over, but GT get another wicket.

MI 44/2 (5)

Mohammad Siraj! ONE MORE! Ryan Rickelton has played on to his stumps. Mumbai Indians are crumbling in the powerplay, and Mohammed Siraj is justifying his Rs 12.25 crore pricetag here. What an opening spell. Absolute class.

MI 35/2 (4.3)

Ishant Sharma has started off really well. Thrown the ball for the 4th over, and he concedes just 2 runs. Four dots in a row to end the over, Tilak Varma struggles to connect. Ishant using all his years of experience, changing it up very well.

MI 32/1 (4)

Another excellent over by Mohammed Siraj. He is bowling really well at the start. He can have his inconsistent days, but when he's in form, he's almost unplayable. This is the version of Siraj that GT shelled out Rs 12.25 crore for at the mega auction.

The ball from Siraj completely shocked Rohit Sharma. Change of length by the pacer, and Rohit was completely bamboozled. Tilak Varma is out in the middle at No. 3, to try and help MI recover from the early wicket.

Two boundaries from Tilak! He's taking Kagiso Rabada to the cleaners. And he finishes the over with a SIX!

MI 24/1 (2)

ROHIT GONE! Mohammad Siraj strikes in the first over! This one nips back in, awkward bounce, Rohit tries to defend and misses, and the bails are knocked off. What a response by Siraj after being hit for two boundaries. Early loss for MI, Rohit's poor form continues.

MI 8/1 (0.4)

TWO BOUNDARIES! Rohit Sharma is up and running in the run chase. He has started really well against Mohammed Siraj here. Will he be able to give the perfect start for MI?

MI 8/0 (0.3)

Rohit Sharma is out to open for Mumbai Indians alongside Ryan Rickelton! Big Impact Player call made by GT! Sherfane Rutherford is taken off, and Ishan Sharma is brought on. The veteran pacer is still going strong at 36 years old.

Can Rohit Sharma score big today? The MI talisman doesn't have a great record in this stadium in the IPL, but he'll need to give them a quick start if they want to reach the 197-run target. He'll likely open with Ryan Rickelton, with Tilak Varma at 3 and Suryakumar Yadav at 4.

196! It is a very solid total for Gujarat Titans. Half-century for Sai Sudharshan, decent contributions made by Gill and Buttler, and some late blows across the middle order too. Hardik Pandya the best for MI with the ball.

Not much due at the Narendra Modi Stadium, so this will be a very interesting chase.

GT 196/8 (20 overs)

MI Target: 197

Rashid Khan is out! He smashed a big six off the second ball of the over, and tried to go for a big one again. Misses out, and S Raju gets an important wicket at the death. Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya give a huge to Raju, who's showing nerves of steel at the death.

GT 194/7 (19.4)

Hardik Pandya has trusted Satyanarayana Raju for the last over of the GT innings! Another big call, and this is a huge show of faith by the MI captain.

OUT! Sherfane Rutherford is gone now. 3 wickets in 3 balls, in three different ways! First the LBW by Boult, then the run out, and Rutherford is caught in the deep. Gujarat Titans are falling apart in the death overs here.

GT 179/6 (18.3)

Rahul Tewatia out without a ball faced! Superb direct hit from the deep, incredible throw by Hardik Pandya, and he is out at the non-striker's end. Gujarat Titans suffering a late setback here, and MI are slightly on top.

GT 179/5 (18.1)

EXCELLENT from Trent Boult! Sai Sudharshan departs for 63 off 41 balls. Big blow for Gujarat Titans with two overs to go. Boult nails the yorker, hits Sudharshan straight on the ankle, plumb in front of the stumps. Superb from the Kiwi on his last ball.

GT 179/4 (18)

Costly one for Mumbai Indians. Two sixes, a couple of wides as well. Raju bowled a few good balls, but two decisive sixes as well. Big pressure on the youngster S Raju, and he'd hope to come back better if he gets another over. For Hardik, it isn't a gamble that has paid off.

GT 170/3 (17)

Now Sai Sudharshan gets a maximum! Two sixes in three balls, and the pressure is firmly on young S Raju. He is getting advice from Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, but this might be the over that GT needed to break loose.

GT 168/3 (16.4)

Sherfane Rutherford breaks loose. In the slot by Satyanarayan Raju, and cleared over long-off by the West Indian batter. The next ball is a wide. Big call by Pandya to give the 17th over to Raju, and so far it is not a gamble that is paying off.

GT 159/3 (16.1)

End of an amazing spell by Hardik Pandya. He has shown exactly what MI were missing in their first game. A powerful bowling performance in the middle overs, with two wickets, including the big one of Shubman Gill. 4-0-29-2 read his final figures.

GT 151/3 (16)

Shahrukh departs! He hit a six off Pandya earlier in the over, tried to go big once again but this time he finds the fielder. Wide outside off-stump from Hardik, Shahrukh has to reach for it but could only get it as far as Tilak Varma in the deep.

GT 146/3 (15.3)

It's taken a while, but B Sai Sudharshan reaches his half-century. Reaches there in 33 balls. Good knock by the left-hander, who is now well-set to accelerate in the final 5 overs. Shahrukh Khan is with him at the crease, and the likes of Rutherford, Tewatia and Rashid are still to come.

GT 135/2 (14.1)

Mujeeb strikes! Buttler has to walk back! Tries to go for a big shot, takes a thick edge, gets caught behind. The Afghan spinner has done the trick for Mumbai Indians. The man-in-form departs, and this is a major breakthrough.

GT 129/2 (13.5)

Jos Buttler is playing a superb knock today. Mujeeb is brought back into the attack, and Buttler times it exquisitely through mid-wicket. Finds the gap between two fielders through mid-wicket.

GT 127/1 (13.3)

Sai Sudharshan picks up a much-needed boundary. Second 4 of Raju's over. Pitched very short once again, Sai Sudharshan innovates and upper cuts it over the wicket-keeper for four. Moves up to 48.

GT 121/1 (13)

Sai Sudharshan has not hit a single boundary since the end of the powerplay. The runs have slightly dried up for the left-hander, and Buttler has had to do the heavy-lifting ever since Shubman Gill departed.

"No intent," says Sunil Gavaskar on Sai Sudharshan's current pace.

Satyanarayan Raju is in to bowl his first over, and completely misses his length. Bowls it way too short, Buttler waits for the ball to come and then swats it away between mid-wicket and square leg for 4. Buttler has made a good start here.

GT 115/1 (12.3)

Santner has been a great foil to Hardik in these middle overs. Hasn't picked up a wicket, but has given away only 25 runs in his 3 overs so far. Good news for GT is that they have plenty of wickets in hand to try and go big later on.

GT 109/1 (12)

Hardik Pandya has delivered a superb spell in the middle overs here. The MI captain has led by example. 3-0-18-1 are his figures. He's bowled three on the trot, and picked up the wicket of counterpart Shubman Gill.

GT 101/1 (11)

Sharp short delivery by Hardik Pandya to Jos Buttler, caught by Rickelton behind the stumps. The South African wicket-keeper batter looked very interested, and MI went up for the review. Ultraedge shows no bat involved, and Buttler survives.

GT 92/1 (10.1)

Jos Buttler is now in the mood! Clears the ropes off Mitch Santner, big hit for 6 over long on. Satyanarayan Raju tried to take the catch, but could not hold on in the deep. Next ball, scooped over fine leg for 4!

10 overs done!

GT 92/1 (10)

OUT! Hardik Pandya strikes! The pressure from MI has worked! Gill goes for the big one and picks out the fielder at deep square-leg. Shubman Gill departs for 38 off 27 balls, and Gujarat Titans need to find a way to get their scoring rate up now.

GT 78/1 (8.4)

Mitchell Santner bowls a great over again. Concedes just 3 runs, and the pressure is starting to grow again on the Gujarat openers.

GT 74/0 (8)

Shubman Gill reaches 1,000 runs at a single venue in IPL, for him the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Second-fastest to such a milestone.

19 - Chris Gayle at Bengaluru

20 - Shubman Gill at Ahmedabad (New Entry)

22 - David Warner at Hyderabad

26 - Shaun Marsh at Mohali

Solid start by the MI captain with the ball. Gives away only five runs, despite starting off with a wide. Tidy stuff to pull things back a bit. The crucial wicket still eludes them, though.

GT 71/0 (7)

Hardik Pandya brings himself into the bowling attack. Perfect start by the Gujarat Titans openers, and it is now up to their former captain to try and break the partnership. Starts off with a wide, though.

GT 67/0 (6)

Another boundary to end the over! What a shot by Sai Sudharshan. 20 runs off Chahar's third over, and Gujarat Titans have now soared up to 11 runs per over. Great two overs for them to end the powerplay.

GT 66/0 (6)

Oh dear, terrible throw by Naman Dhir who was trying to hit the stumps. 4 runs, overthrows. Poor work by the fielders as well. Deepak Chahar did not go back to the stumps, and the fielder at mid-off couldn't save it either. Another big over for GT.

GT 61/0 (5.4)

GT needed a big over after the slightly slow start to the powerplay, and they got exactly that in the Mujeeb over. Now their run rate has crossed 9, and they'll hope to take the momentum from here. Importantly, not a single wicket lost by them so far.

Meanwhile, 50 up for GT in 5.3 overs! Classy 6 by Gill off Chahar, comes down the track and slams it for a maximum.

Mujeeb ur Rahman into the attack, and what a welcome by Sai Sudharshan! First ball, 4! Second ball, 6! Excellent inside out shot, over the off-side for the maximum. Gill continues the party! Boundary over fine leg. 15 off the over, bad start by Mujeeb.

GT 46/0 (5)

Excellent over by Deepak Chahar. Only 5 runs off it, including a wide delivery. Good start by the MI bowlers, as Gill and Sai Sudharshan have not been able to unleash themselves yet. Will Chahar and Boult be given another over in the powerplay?

GT 31/0 (4)

TWO FOURS! Sai Sudharshan looking in great touch. First, a classy straight drive down the ground for a boundary. Two balls later, deft flick through the mid-wicket region for another 4. Trent Boult sighs, great timing by the young opener.

GT 24/0 (2.4)

Broadcast visuals show Rohit Sharma putting an arm around and giving a pat to Vignesh Puthur ahead of the game. Vignesh was superb against CSK, and must feel gutted to have been left out. Great gesture by Rohit!

Another boundary! Classic Shubman Gill. Pitched short by Deepak Chahar, and the GT captain puts it away in his own style. Looks in great touch today.

GT 12/0 (1.2)

Great shot by Shubman Gill! Comes down the track, lofts it over the 30-yard circle and the ball runs away for a boundary through the point region. Boult had bowled a good over up to that point, but excellent from Gill to get GT going.

GT 7/0 (1)

Trent Boult to B Sai Sudharshan, WE ARE LIVE! Tight start by the experienced Kiwi, Sai Sudharshan not finding a run in the first couple of balls.

GT 0/0 (0.2)

We are moments away from the start of the game. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharshan will come out to open for Gujarat Titans. Expect Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult to take the new ball for MI.

This comes as a big shock, but Mumbai Indians have left out Vignesh Puthur from their team today. He's not even among the impact substitutes. Mujeeb and Santner will be the spin options for MI. 

Vignesh took 3/32 vs CSK on IPL debut, so this is a major call!

Gujarat Titans playing XI vs MI:

Shubman Gill (c), B Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wK), Sherfane Rutherford, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, R Sai Kishore, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.

Mostly the same for GT, but Gill has warned that one change may be made later.

Mumbai Indians playing XI vs GT:

Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (c), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Satyanarayana Raju.

Big change for MI! Mujeeb ur Rahman comes in for Will Jacks.

MI captain Hardik Pandya wins the toss and opts to bowl vs Gujarat Titans! No major surprise at the toss, with the winning captain still continuing to choose to field. Shubman Gill confirms that Jos Buttler will continue to bat at No. 3.

Gill expresses that he would've also chosen to bowl had he won the toss.

Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya are making their way towards the pitch. Hardik practicing a few flips of the coin, but it will be Gill who does the spin today. Gill and Pandya engaging in some pre-match banter, they look in good spirits!

We are just 3 minutes away from toss time for the Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians clash! Both sides are aiming for their first victory of IPL 2025. The game will be played at the mammoth Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

We are just 15 minutes away from toss time, at the Narendra Modi Stadium! Remember, both teams are vying for their first win of the tournament. Shubman Gill will lead GT, while Hardik Pandya returns from suspension to captain MI against his old team.

Gujarat Titans hold a narrow lead over Mumbai Indians when it comes to their head-to-head record in IPL. In 5 games played, GT have won 3, MI have won 2.

Here's Gujarat Titans' probable XII vs MI:

Sai Sudharshan, Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, Sherfane Rutherford, Shah Rukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Washington Sundar, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Sai Kishore, Prasidh Krishna.

Here is Mumbai Indians' probable XII vs GT:

Rohit Sharma, Will Jacks, Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Robin Minz, Deepak Chahar, Mitchell Santner, Vignesh Puthur, Trent Boult, Reece Topley.

While Gujarat Titans' top 3 - Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Buttler - is arguably the best in the IPL, their middle order lacks the firepower. Sherfane Rutherford couldn't execute properly in the run chase, while Shah Rukh Khan and Mahipal Lomror lack the IPL pedigree for now.

With the Narendra Modi Stadium being a terrific pitch to bat on, it might make sense for the team winning the toss to bat first. Nearly every team has chosen to bowl in this tournament, but PBKS showed in the previous game here that it is possible to win by batting first. Will we finally see a different decision being taken?

Much like Rohit, pressure is also on Suryakumar Yadav to deliver. We know how devastating he can be, but SKY has been out of the runs for quite a while now. Can he finally deliver the outstanding knock we know he's capable of?

Amidst the talk of all the stars like Rohit, Gill, Hardik and Bumrah, let's take a moment to talk about Vignesh Puthur. 24-year-old, chinaman, never played a first-class game. Thrown in against the daunting yellow CSK brigade, and what a performance! 3 wickets on debut. Another example of MI's impressive scouting process, and another reason to thank the IPL.

Mahela Jayawardene on Pandya possibly being booed:

Hardik Pandya was heavily booed by the Gujarat crowd following his switch from GT to MI. It marked the start of a wretched season for him, as Mumbai Indians finished last and he received a negative welcome nearly everywhere. 

Pandya will hope, having delivered two ICC titles for India, that his perception will have changed by now in front of the Gujarat faithful. Don't forget, Gujarat is also the state from where Pandya comes.

Gujarat Titans opened with Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharshan in the first game, with the latter making a superb 74. Jos Buttler walked in at No. 3. However, the Englishman holds a terrific record at the Narendra Modi Stadium, so it begs the question whether GT should change their batting order.

Rohit Sharma started off IPL 2025 in the worst possible manner, scoring a 4-ball duck as MI lost to CSK in their first game. His record at the Narendra Modi Stadium, where today's match will be played, is not great either.

In 5 IPL games, Rohit has managed only 125 runs here, at a strike rate of under 140 and without a single half-century. 

While Hardik Pandya returns, Jasprit Bumrah is still not expected to feature for MI. Head coach Mahela Jayawardene has stated that Bumrah is "fit", but there is no clarity on whether he can play a full game.

Hardik Pandya missed the first game of IPL 2025, having been suspended for slow-over rate in the final game of IPL 2024. In his absence, it was Suryakumar Yadav who led the team. Now, Pandya will be back, in front of the fans he led to glory, but the same ones who turned against him last year.

So much of the storyline of this game surrounds Hardik Pandya. His move from GT to MI drew in so much controversy, so much drama, even negatively at one point. Now, the tide has turned. He is a T20 World Cup winner. He is a Champions Trophy winner. Hardik Pandya is adored by India fans all over now, as he returns to Gujarat.

Don't forget, he was the captain as GT won the cup in 2022 and came runners-up in 2023!

Both GT and MI got off to a losing start to their IPL 2025 campaign. Gujarat narrowly lost to Punjab Kings, failing to chase down 240+, while Mumbai Indians were comprehensively defeated by Chennai Super Kings in the 'El Clasico'.

A very good afternoon to one and all, it is time for another blockbuster game in the Indian Premier League! Today, one-time champion Gujarat Titans take on five-time winners Mumbai Indians!
