Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians LIVE Scorecard, IPL 2025 LIVE: With Rs 18 Crore Star Absent, MI To Pin Hopes On Uncapped Gem?news24

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Can SKY step up?

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?

GT vs MI LIVE: How good is Vignesh Puthur?

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.

GT vs MI LIVE: Here’s what Jayawardene said

Mahela Jayawardene on Pandya possibly being booed:

“Twelve months on, he (Hardik) has achieved a lot more, and I hope that people will see beyond what happened last year. I hope that we can enjoy a good game of cricket.”

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Will Hardik be booed today?

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.

GT vs MI LIVE: Gujarat Titans’ combination

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.

IPL 2025 LIVE: Can Rohit find his form?

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. 

GT vs MI LIVE: No Jasprit Bumrah!

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.

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: First game of Hardik’s season

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.

GT vs MI LIVE: Hardik Pandya’s homecoming!

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!

IPL 2025 LIVE: Both sides eyeing first win!

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’.
