Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians Match Preview IPL 2025

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera is set to host an electrifying clash between the Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) on March 29.

With IPL 2025 still in its early stages, the excitement is already building as teams battle to gain momentum. This upcoming fixture between GT and MI promises to be a thrilling contest, with both sides eager to bounce back after disappointing starts.

GT recently played a high-scoring game against the Punjab Kings, but despite a few positives, their overall performance left much to be desired. Led by Shubman Gill, they’ll be keen to put that behind them and register their first win of the season.

Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, also had a rough start, losing to their arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their opening match. Adding to the anticipation, this game will see Hardik Pandya return to action after serving a suspension for a slow over-rate last season. The T20 World Cup-winning all-rounder will be eager to make a strong comeback after a forgettable campaign last year.
