Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians LIVE Scorecard, IPL 2025 LIVE: “No Intent” – Sunil Gavaskar Blasts GT Star’s Batting Approach vs MI | Cricket News

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: OUT!

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.

IPL 2025 LIVE: 4, Buttler!

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)

IPL 2025 LIVE: BOUNDARY!

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)

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Sudharshan has hit a rut

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.

IPL 2025 LIVE: 4!

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)

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Another decent over

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)

IPL 2025 LIVE: What a spell by Hardik

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)

GT vs MI LIVE: DRS review, but not out!

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)

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: 6, 4, BUTTLER!

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!

IPL 2025 LIVE: Shubman Gill GONE!

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)

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Another excellent over

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)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Milestone for Gill

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.

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Good over by Hardik!

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)

GT vs MI LIVE: Captain takes responsibility

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)

IPL 2025 LIVE: 20 off the over!

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)

GT vs MI LIVE: Overthrow!

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 vs MI LIVE: 50 up for GT!

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.

IPL 2025 LIVE: Sai Sudharshan SIX!

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)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Great over by Chahar

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)

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Sai Sudharshan, classy!

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)

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Rohit Sharma to Vignesh Puthur

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!

IPL 2025 LIVE: 4 more, Gill!

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)

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: 4! Gill up and running

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)

GT vs MI LIVE: Here we go!

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)

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: 3 minutes to go!

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.

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: No Vignesh Puthur!

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!

IPL 2025 LIVE: GT Playing XI

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.

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.

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: HARDIK WINS TOSS!

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.

IPL 2025 LIVE: Will we see a surprise at 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!

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: 3 minutes to toss time

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.

IPL 2025 LIVE: 15 minutes to toss!

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.

IPL 2025 LIVE: GT vs MI H2H?

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.

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: GT probable XI

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.

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: MI probable XI

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.

IPL 2025 LIVE: Pressure on GT middle order

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.

GT vs MI LIVE: Win toss, bat first?

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?

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.”
