Gujarat Titans (GT) Preview

Gujarat Titans started their IPL 2025 campaign on a disappointing note, suffering an 11-run loss to Punjab Kings in a high-scoring encounter at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Despite a strong batting performance, their bowling unit struggled, conceding 243 runs—a total that proved too steep to chase.

Squad Strength and Key Players

• Shubman Gill (Captain) – The GT skipper got off to a quick start in the first match but will be looking for a bigger contribution. Given his phenomenal record at this venue (nearly 1,000 runs in 19 matches, including three centuries), he remains the key batter for the Titans.
• Sai Sudharsan – He was the standout performer in the last match, scoring 74 off 41 balls. His ability to anchor the innings while accelerating at the right time makes him crucial.
• Jos Buttler – The explosive English batter provided a strong start in the previous match with 54 off 33 balls. If he gets going, he can single-handedly take the game away from the opposition.
• Sherfane Rutherford – A valuable middle-order batter, Rutherford contributed 46 runs, but GT needs him to deliver under pressure in crucial moments.

Bowling Concerns

Gujarat Titans’ bowling attack was exposed in the previous match, as they failed to contain Punjab’s batters. The likes of Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Arshad Khan went wicketless, conceding plenty of runs.

• Sai Kishore – The left-arm spinner was the only bowler who stood out, picking up 3 wickets for 30 runs. His ability to slow things down in the middle overs will be key.
• Kagiso Rabada – The experienced pacer took one wicket but was expensive (41 runs in 4 overs). He needs better support from the other fast bowlers.
• Rashid Khan – The Afghan spin wizard had a rare off day, conceding 48 runs and taking just one wicket. However, he remains a match-winner and is expected to bounce back.

Key Factors for Gujarat Titans

✅ Strong top order – Gill, Buttler, and Sudharsan need to set the platform for a big total.
✅ Middle-order stability – GT’s lower middle order lacks firepower. If they lose early wickets, they could struggle.
✅ Improved bowling performance – The likes of Siraj and Krishna must step up to avoid another run-fest against a dangerous Mumbai batting lineup.

Mumbai Indians (MI) Preview

Mumbai Indians also started their campaign with a defeat against Chennai Super Kings, falling short by four wickets in a low-scoring contest at Chepauk. Their batting unit struggled on a slow pitch, but conditions in Ahmedabad will be much better for stroke play, giving them an opportunity to bounce back.

Squad Strength and Key Players

• Hardik Pandya (Captain) – After missing the first match due to an over-rate suspension from last season, Pandya is back to lead the side. Having played for Gujarat in 2022 and 2023, he knows this pitch well and can be a game-changer with both bat and ball.
• Suryakumar Yadav – The dynamic batter got a start in the previous match (29 off 26 balls) but couldn’t convert it into a big score. With the Ahmedabad pitch favoring stroke-makers, expect him to be more aggressive.
• Tilak Varma – The left-hander was MI’s top scorer in the last match (31 off 25 balls). He is an emerging talent who can play the role of an anchor or an aggressor, depending on the situation.
• Will Jacks – The explosive England batter is known for his attacking play. If he fires, MI can post a huge total.

Bowling Performance & Expectations

Mumbai’s bowling attack struggled to defend 155 runs against CSK, failing to pick up key wickets in the middle overs.

• Vignesh Puthur – The young left-arm wrist-spinner was the best bowler for MI, taking 3 wickets for 32 runs. He could be crucial again on a batting-friendly surface.
• Trent Boult & Deepak Chahar – Mumbai’s pace attack needs to improve. Boult went wicketless in the last match, while Chahar managed only one scalp.
• Mitchell Santner – The New Zealand all-rounder is expected to control the middle overs, but MI will need more aggression from their bowling unit.

Key Factors for Mumbai Indians

✅ Batting-friendly conditions – Players like Suryakumar, Rohit, Jacks, and Hardik Pandya will enjoy playing on this pitch.
✅ Early wickets with the ball – GT’s top order is dangerous, and Boult-Chahar must strike early.
✅ Middle-overs bowling discipline – Mumbai’s spinners, especially Santner and Puthur, need to restrict GT’s batters.
