In the IPL 2025 match between the Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Mohammed Siraj took sweet revenge after conceding consecutive boundaries. The incident occurred in the very first over when Rohit Sharma hit Siraj for two back-to-back fours, putting immediate pressure on the bowler.
However, Siraj bounced back on the fourth ball, delivering a sharp nip-backer that breached Rohit’s defense and clipped the top of the bails. This early breakthrough gave Gujarat Titans the upper hand, as Rohit’s dismissal weakened the Mumbai Indians’ start. Siraj’s ability to regain control after an expensive start highlighted his skill and temperament.

Sai, Gill, and Buttler Anchor GT’s Innings
Gujarat Titans capitalized on the momentum created by Siraj’s early strike with a strong batting display. Their top order, led by Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler, ensured that GT posted a competitive total. Sai played a composed and steady knock, anchoring the innings while maintaining a decent run rate.
Shubman Gill added valuable runs with his stylish stroke play, keeping the scoreboard ticking. Jos Buttler, known for his aggressive batting, provided the necessary acceleration in the middle overs. Together, these three batters laid a solid foundation and propelled GT to an impressive target, putting Mumbai Indians under significant pressure.
Mumbai Indians Struggle After Rohit’s Early Exit
Mumbai Indians faced a difficult task while chasing GT’s challenging total. The early loss of Rohit Sharma disrupted their rhythm and left the batting order vulnerable. Despite efforts from the middle-order batsmen, MI struggled to build a solid partnership to recover from the early setback.
The pressure of maintaining a high run rate further compounded their troubles. Gujarat Titans’ bowlers maintained tight control over the innings, not allowing MI batters to settle. With the required run rate climbing, Mumbai Indians found it increasingly difficult to stay in the chase, ultimately giving Gujarat Titans the upper hand.
