Delhi: In the 56th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill won the toss and decided to bowl first, and his decision proved to be completely correct. The team of Mumbai Indians (Mi) could score 155 runs in 20 overs. Gujarat now needs 156 runs to win this match, and if they achieve this target, they will reach the top position in the points table.
Mumbai’s batting order does not show effective
Mumbai Indians started very poorly. Opener Ryan Ricelton was dismissed in the first over by scoring 2 runs. After this, Rohit Sharma put some good shots but he also started walking only 7 runs. After this, Will Jacks and Suryakumar Yadav tried to handle the innings and both played fast innings of 53 and 35 runs respectively. But after his dismissal, the wickets kept falling again. Captain Hardik Pandya could score only 1 run, while Tilak Verma and Naman Dheer also could not contribute anything special with the bat. In the end, Corbin Bosch added 27 and Deepak Chahar added 4 runs to 155. The lack of partnerships in Mumbai’s batting was clearly seen and no long partnership could be formed.
Gujarat bowlers did wonders
The Gujarat Titans bowlers performed disciplined throughout the match. Mohammad Siraj jerked Mumbai with an initial wicket, while Arshad Khan and famous Krishna kept the pressure in the middle overs and kept pressure. Spinner Sai Kishore took 2 important wickets for just 20 runs in 4 overs. Rashid Khan also continued his affordable bowling and took 1 wicket. Jerald Kotji also maintained 1 wicket and control over the run pace.
Now Gujarat Titans need 156 runs to win the match. If they achieve this goal, they will directly reach the first place in the points table. Will the Gujarat Titans be able to achieve this easy -looking target led by Shubman Gill? The answer will be found in the second inning.
