Sai Sudharsan and Prasidh Krishna starred in a comprehensive win for their team against Mumbai Indians.

🏏 GT Outclass MI with All-Round Performance Gujarat Titans (GT) posted a commanding total of 196 for 8 on a slow, black-soil pitch in Ahmedabad, where the par score was expected to be around 180. Despite a fightback from Mumbai Indians (MI), the target proved to be too much, as MI fell short by 36 runs. 🔥 Key Highlights: Sai Sudharsan's Stellar Knock: Scored a crucial half-century (50 off 33 balls), his second fifty in as many games. Anchored the innings while others fell around him in the death overs. Unfortunately had to leave the field due to a hamstring issue, which later turned out to be cramps. Shubman Gill's Powerplay Dominance: Scored a quickfire 32 off 18 balls to give GT a flying start. His partnership with Sudharsan took GT to 66 for no loss in the powerplay, their third-highest powerplay score in IPL history. Late Collapse: GT lost momentum in the last three overs, managing just 26 runs and losing quick wickets, including Sudharsan, Rahul Tewatia (run out), and Sherfane Rutherford (caught). Bowling Brilliance: Prasidh Krishna was the star with the ball, claiming crucial wickets and maintaining pressure. Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada also contributed with key breakthroughs. 🎯 MI’s Struggles: Lack of Momentum: Despite Hardik Pandya's return after an over-rate ban, MI struggled to build partnerships. Buttler’s Lone Fight: Jos Buttler kept the hopes alive with 39 runs, but his dismissal by Mujeeb Ur Rahman ended MI’s chase. Inconsistent Bowling: MI’s bowlers failed to capitalize after the powerplay and struggled to contain runs in the middle overs. Trent Boult was one of the few bright spots, dismissing Sudharsan with a perfect yorker. 🌟 Takeaways: GT’s decision to play on a slower surface paid off, as MI’s bowling and batting struggled to adapt. Powerplay aggression from Gill and Sudharsan set the tone for a big total. GT’s depth and versatility shone through, despite a minor collapse in the death overs. Let me know if you’d like a deeper analysis or insights into player performances! 💥 Mohammed Siraj Breaks the Rohit Curse! In a dramatic powerplay moment, Mohammed Siraj finally broke his long-standing jinx against Rohit Sharma, dismissing him for the first time in T20s after ten innings! 🎯 How It Happened: Previous Record: Before this game, Siraj had conceded 74 runs off 55 balls to Rohit without ever getting his wicket in T20s. Fast Start: Rohit seemed set to continue his dominance, smashing Siraj for two boundaries in the first three balls of the chase. Turning Point: On the fifth ball, Siraj delivered a scrambled-seam beauty that nipped back in, cutting Rohit in half and crashing into the stumps. The delivery completely surprised Rohit, marking a massive breakthrough for RCB. 🚀 Siraj's Impact: The early dismissal of Rohit set the tone for RCB’s bowling performance, putting MI on the back foot right from the powerplay. Siraj’s ability to exploit the scrambled seam shows his growing mastery as a powerplay bowler. 💥 Suryakumar Yadav Keeps MI Alive Despite Early Blows 🔥 Tilak Varma’s Aggression: After the fall of Rohit, Tilak Varma wasted no time in attacking, taking on Kagiso Rabada with back-to-back boundaries: 4, 4, 6 in three consecutive deliveries, putting pressure right back on GT. Unfortunately, his aggression was short-lived as his tempo slowed down after the initial burst. 🎯 Siraj Strikes Again: At the other end, Ryan Rickelton struggled to find his rhythm and looked visibly out of sorts. In the fifth over, Rickelton attempted to smash Siraj but ended up getting an inside edge onto his stumps. MI ended the powerplay at 48 for 2, losing both openers despite a promising start. ✨ Suryakumar’s Fireworks: Enter Suryakumar Yadav, who lit up the chase with his trademark flair. Facing just his second ball, he executed the "supla" shot to send Siraj over fine leg for a six. Moments later, he punished Ishant Sharma the same way, keeping the pressure on the bowlers. Even the spinner R Sai Kishore wasn’t spared as Suryakumar lofted him over extra cover for another maximum, showing his class against spin.
