Gujarat Titans maintained their dominance at home with a convincing 36-run win over Mumbai Indians, making it 4-0 against MI in Ahmedabad. Shubman Gill’s side put up a formidable total of 196/8, built around Sai Sudharsan’s classy 63 off 41 balls and handy contributions from Gill (38 off 27) and Buttler (39 off 24). The duo laid the foundation with a 78-run opening stand, MI pulled things back slightly with wickets in a cluster.

Hardik Pandya, leading MI against his former franchise, picked up 2/29, while Boult, Chahar, and debutant Raju chipped in with a wicket each. But MI's bowling leaked 14 wides—a costly lapse on a two-paced surface.

In reply, MI were rocked early by Mohammed Siraj, who cleaned up Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton inside 5 overs. While Tilak Varma (39) and Suryakumar Yadav (48 off 28) revived hopes with a brisk 62-run stand, Prasidh Krishna's double strike—dismissing both set batters—derailed the chase.

GT’s spinners choked the middle overs, and Siraj (2/34) along with Prasidh (2/18) delivered clinical spells.  

Hardik Pandya | Mumbai Indians Captain:
"Tough to put. Batting and bowling, we were 15-20 short. There were errors. We were not professionals in the field. That cost us 20-25 runs, which is a lot in T20 cricket. Gill and Sudharsan batted brilliantly. We bowled well, and there were some balls here and there but otherwise, the way they batted was exceptional. They didn’t take chances. They hit boundaries. Without taking high risks, they hit boundaries, and we were left with catching up. There shouldn’t be a concern. But I think we have to take responsibility. Batters will have to join the party, and hopefully, they'll join in soon.I was just thinking that I bowled too many slower balls. They saw that the ball was gripping, and those were the toughest balls to face and some were shooting low. It makes life difficult for the batters, and they used them well." 
 

Shubman Gill | Gujarat Titans Captain:
"I think yeah, the decision was taken before we played the first match that we will be playing the second match on a black soil wicket. Yeah, that was also another factor. I feel this wicket also suits our batting and as you can see, it worked out well for us.That's one of the factors batting on a black soil wicket. Once the ball gets old, it's difficult to clear the boundary. We discussed it in the team meeting that we will maximize the powerplay.I think we can all talk about the plan but at the end if you get the desired result, all the things seem to be in place.I don't know maybe, this could be the first time that he has bowled only 2 overs for us in a match. I actually kept his overs to bowl at the end but with the way the fast bowlers were bowling, I just didn't want to bring him back in. Prasidh bowled beautifully so I thought why not continue with him.Yeah, we have seen the par score on those wickets so we are looking forward to our next two away games."

Prasidh Krishna | Player of the Match :
"Nothing much to be honest. I don't have many words to say. I was itching to bowl. It was till the 10th over. I didn't have to wait so long ever to bowl in a T20.Well, we were sitting on top and watching how things went in the first innings. We observed that pace off and cutters were working well. We knew that into the wicket was the way to go.I just figured that was working, so I did not want to test the speed gun. I wanted to keep things simple; every single ball was important."
