Gujarat vs Mumbai on March 29

 

The ninth game of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL) will feature a clash between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, on Saturday, March 29. Both Gujarat and Mumbai got off to a poor start in their IPL 2025 campaigns, losing their first games to Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings, respectively. The Shubman Gill-led side lost their last game at home against Punjab. Chasing a massive target of 244, GT fell short by 11 runs, despite fighting efforts from Sai Sudharsan (74 off 41) and Jos Buttler (54 off 33). Their bowlers struggled to contain the opposition as Shreyas Iyer (97 off 42), Priyansh Arya (47 off 23), and Shashank Singh (44 off 16) guided PBKS to a formidable total. Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, and Sai Kishore picked up wickets but couldn't prevent the flow of runs. The 2022 champions will be eager to move past their defeat and put up a strong performance against MI. On the other hand, Mumbai had a tough outing in their season opener against Chennai Super Kings. Batting first at Chepauk, they managed only 155/9, struggling against CSK’s bowling attack, which included Noor Ahmad and Khaleel Ahmed. Despite their bowlers' best efforts, CSK chased down the target with five balls to spare, thanks to Rachin Ravindra (65 off 45) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (53 off 26). However, MI will be pleased with the return of their skipper Hardik Pandya, who missed the first game due to a ban. Notably, Pandya will be facing his former team after two successful seasons with them, including a title-winning campaign in 2022. In the 2024 edition, the two sides met just once, with Gujarat winning by six runs.

Best economical pick – Left-arm spinner Sai Kishore could be the best bowler in the upcoming clash against Mumbai Indians. Kishore’s spell against Punjab was one of the highlights of the game. Despite GT ending up on the losing side, the tall spinner picked up three crucial wickets while maintaining an economical spell. He could once again play a key role as a go-to bowler for his side against the Mumbai-based franchise. 

Top captains & vice captains – Gujarat Titans’ opener, Sai Sudharsan, could be the standout batter in Match No. 9 of IPL 2025. The southpaw has been in impeccable form recently and carried his momentum into the first game as well. With 74 runs in his previous game against Punjab Kings, Sudharsan will be keen on continuing his good run and forming a crucial partnership with skipper Shubman Gill at the top. Rohit Sharma looked in great touch at the Champions Trophy and the Mumbai opener will be keen to get a good start.

Smart pick – Ryan Rickelton will be one of best available option from the wicket-keeper section and will be a good option to have against this opposition.

Cautious Pick – ​Satyanarayana Raju, a 25-year-old right-arm medium-fast bowler from Andhra Pradesh, was acquired by Mumbai Indians for ₹30 lakh in the IPL 2025 auction. He made his IPL debut against Chennai Super Kings, where he was included in the starting XI. Given his limited IPL experience and modest performance in the previous match, it might be prudent to consider other players for your fantasy team in the upcoming game between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians. Selecting players with a proven track record in the IPL or those currently in strong form could enhance your team's performance.

My XI – Sai Sudharsan (Captain), Rohit Sharma (Vice-Captain), Ryan Rickelton, Sai Kishore, Jos Buttler, Will Jacks, Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, Trent Boult, Hardik Pandya, Mitchell Santner
