Siraj, while under pressure delivered a fantastic ball to break Rohit’s defenses, bowling him. Rohit Sharma was out for a paltry 8 runs from 4 balls putting Mumbai into a dire position early.

The match’s most controversial moment was the tense confrontation between Sai Kishore and Mumbai Indians’ captain, Hardik Pandya in the 15th over.
The Moment:
Sai Kishore bowed a premium over, giving Hardik Pandya a backfoot. After failing to score off the first two balls, Hardik notches a four off the third ball.
On the next ball, Sai Kishore outsmarted Hardik imparting him a defensive stroke, rather than an attacking stroke. Both players locked eyes, and the focal point of the match, Hardik even offered some sort of hand gesture towards Sai Kishore later in the over, adding to the already intense situation.
Gujarat Titans’ dominance with both bat and ball resulted in them winning against Mumbai Indians by 36 runs in IPL 2025 GT vs MI. From Mumbai’s powerplay rampage to Siraj’s stunning ball against Rohit, and skips on to Sai Kishore’s battle with Hardik Pandya, it was a cracker of a match.
With this victory, Gujarat Titans have made their mark in IPL 2025. Mumbai Indians have certainly fallen in an uphill battle after consecutive losses.
