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.”

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’.

GT vs MI, IPL 2025 LIVE: Hello and welcome!

A very good afternoon to one and all, it is time for another blockbuster game in the Indian Premier League! Today, one-time champion Gujarat Titans take on five-time winners Mumbai Indians!
