IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans Face Mumbai Indians in Crucial Clash at Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad is set to host the ninth match of IPL 2025, featuring Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI), both aiming for their first win of the season. Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, lost their opening game to Punjab Kings, while Mumbai Indians fell to Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk.
Mumbai Indians, known for their slow starts in IPL, will be boosted by the return of captain Hardik Pandya, who missed the first game due to a ban. However, star pacer Jasprit Bumrah remains unavailable. The evening match will be played under hot Ahmedabad conditions, but the temperature is unlikely to impact the game significantly.
The Narendra Modi Stadium pitch favors batsmen, with square boundaries measuring 66-65 meters, setting the stage for a high-scoring encounter. Gujarat Titans may tweak their playing XI, with key players like Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, Rashid Khan, and Rahul Tewatia expected to play crucial roles. Washington Sundar and Kagiso Rabada also add depth to the squad, and playing at home gives them an edge.
Mumbai Indians will look stronger with Hardik’s return, adding experience and leadership. Both teams will be eager to break their losing streaks.
Head-to-head, GT and MI have clashed five times, with Gujarat winning three and Mumbai securing two victories. This close record adds to the anticipation, making this match a must-watch for fans.
