GT vs MI: Gujarat Titans made their debut last season in 2022 and emerged immensely successful, winning the IPL title in their debut year. Mumbai, on the other hand, is the most prosperous team in the history of the IPL, as they have won the most number of titles (5); however, they have been going through a weak patch since 2021.
Despite a humiliating season in 2022, where they could manage only 4 wins out of their 14 appearances, they won the match against the unstoppable Gujarat Titans in 2022, and since then, the Titans have been on the surge for revenge.

The Gujarat Titans will be hoping to defend their title as they get ready to feature in the 16th edition of the league. However, MI would look to revive their years-old legacy in the league and would hunt for a playoff spot if not regain the status of champions.

After losing their last game against Punjab Kings despite putting on an entertaining batting masterclass by Rohit, Green, and SKY, MI have hampered their 3-match winning streak and would once again look to capitalize on the batting-friendly track of Narendra Modi Stadium vs. GT, who won an almost impossible match against arch-rivals LSG.
The Titans bowlers put on a mesmerizing show as they defended 30 of the last 6 overs when the Supergiants had 9 wickets to spare and their set skipper batted till the 19th over.
GT vs MI: Memorable Matches
1. Match 51 of the IPL 2022 saw the extravagant debutante take on the most successful team in the league, the Mumbai Indians. MI was put into bat by the Titans, and veteran Indian batsman Rohit Sharma and sporadic talent Ishan Kishan gave a wonderful start to the MI innings before Rohit fell to the clutches of veteran spinner Rashid Khan.
However, the MI middle order collapsed, and they were in grave danger until Tim David came to their rescue and got the team total to creep close to the 180s with some colossal hits. In return, GT openers Saha and Gill too put on a brilliant show before a breakthrough was provided by MI spinner Murugan Ashwin, who got rid of both openers in quick succession.
Even the most valiant of finishers in the GT lineup could not take the GT innings to the end; despite MI’s lead bowler getting hit for runs, others deceived the Titans batters with their precision and accuracy.
