Gujarat move to top of the table
Chasing 156 runs in the second innings, Gujarat had a rough start as opener Sai Sudharsan departed for five runs. The struggle continued after his dismissal as Gujarat registered the third-lowest total of IPL 2025. However, Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler managed to bring them back into the contest. Gill made 43 runs while Buttler scored 30 as Gujarat were cruising for victory at one stage before rain interrupted.
After the break, things changed drastically for them. Wickets fell quickly and Mumbai were back into the contest. Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult bowled in tandem and put the visitors under pressure. Mumbai were notably ahead in the DRS before the rain interrupted again.
After the break, Gujarat were asked to chase 15 runs in the final over. Rahul Tewatia and Gerald Coetzee were in the middle but they managed to get the job done against Deepak Chahar. With the win, Gujarat moved to the top of the points table. They have won eight out of 11 matches so far in the league. Mumbai, on the other hand, are fourth on the table.
