Both teams suffered defeats in their opening matches of IPL 2025 and will be eager to make a comeback in this game, adding to the excitement. Despite Gujarat Titans’ loss, Sai Kishore delivered an impressive bowling performance against Punjab Kings, finishing with figures of 3/40 in his four-over spell.

Will Hardik Pandya’s MI Rebound Against Gujarat Titans?

Hardik Pandya was absent from Mumbai Indians’ opening match against Chennai Super Kings in Chepauk, with Suryakumar Yadav stepping in as captain. However, he is set to return for the clash against Gujarat Titans, providing a major boost for MI.

Having played a crucial role in India’s 2025 Champions Trophy victory, Hardik enters IPL 2025 with a confident mindset. In their opener against CSK, Mumbai batted first and managed to score 155/9, which proved insufficient as the hosts successfully chased the target with four wickets in hand.

Hardik rejoined Mumbai Indians last year and was appointed captain, but the team struggled, failing to qualify for the playoffs. They finished last in the standings with only four wins from fourteen games.

With a loss in their first game of IPL 2025, MI will be eager to secure a win against Gujarat to build momentum. Meanwhile, GT also suffered a defeat in their opening match against Punjab Kings and will be looking to capitalize on home advantage in this encounter.
