Mumbai Indians faced their 12th consecutive IPL opening match loss, led this time by Hardik Pandya. Gujarat Titans, captained by Shubman Gill, clinched a nail-biting 6-run win despite Mumbai's strong bowling, notably Jasprit Bumrah's fiery yorkers. GT managed 168/6, with Sai Sudharsan's 45 being their top score. Mumbai's chase started well but stumbled as wickets fell rapidly. Pandya's decision to field first proved ineffective against Gill's determined leadership on home ground. The match showcased Mumbai's ongoing struggle in IPL openers and GT's resilient performance under pressure.
