The ninth game of the ongoing IPL 2025 will feature a clash between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, on Saturday, March 29. Both Gujarat and Mumbai got off to a poor start in their IPL 2025 campaigns, losing their first games to Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings, respectively.
The Shubman Gill-led side lost their last game at home against Punjab. Chasing a massive target of 244, GT fell short by 11 runs, despite fighting efforts from Sai Sudharsan (74 off 41) and Jos Buttler (54 off 33). Their bowlers struggled to contain the opposition as Shreyas Iyer (97 off 42), Priyansh Arya (47 off 23), and Shashank Singh (44 off 16) guided PBKS to a formidable total. Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, and Sai Kishore picked up wickets but couldn’t prevent the flow of runs. The 2022 champions will be eager to move past their defeat and perform strongly against MI.
