In a rain-marred, high-pressure encounter at the Wankhede Stadium on May 7, Gujarat Titans edged past Mumbai Indians by 3 wickets via . The match saw multiple momentum shifts, two rain interruptions, and standout bowling from Jasprit bumrah and Trent Boult. Despite those challenges, GT’s late flourish helped them secure a dramatic last-over win and climb to the top of the points table with 16 points. The defeat ended MI’s six-match winning streak, leaving them at 14 points with crucial games still to play. With playoffs nearing, the game was a pivotal test for both sides.

Rahul Tewatia and Gerald Coetzee give Gujarat Titans despite Jasprit Bumrah’s threat

Chasing 156, Gujarat had a rocky start as Boult removed the in-form Sai Sudharsan early, and the pressure of falling behind the DLS par score loomed large. However, Shubman Gill and If buttler showed great awareness, countering disciplined MI bowling with cautious yet purposeful play. They briefly put GT ahead of the DLS line, especially after Deepak chahar and Hardik Pandya’s costly overs. But Bumrah’s post-rain spell was game-changing, he removed Gill for 43 and tightened the screws. Sherfane Rutherford’s exit further dented GT’s hopes, with the middle order crumbling under pressure. Yet, with 15 needed off the final over, Rahul Tewatia, Gerald Coetzee and Arshad khan displayed exceptional nerve, finding boundaries and running smartly to script a stunning heist that would have seemed improbable just overs earlier.

Mumbai Indians’ inconsistent batting exposed again despite Jacks-Suryakumar Stand

Earlier, opting to bat first on a tricky Wankhede surface, MI’s innings never really got going. Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton fell cheaply, and it took a 71-run stand between Will Jacks (52) and Suryakumar Yadav (35) to give them a fighting chance. However, their dismissals exposed MI’s fragile middle order, as Tilak sureHardik and Naman Naman couldn’t get into double digits. A late cameo from Corbin Bosch (22) helped push the total to 155. For Gujarat, Sai Kishore stood out with two key wickets, while the rest of the attack chipped in evenly. Although the total looked defendable due to conditions and GT’s middle-order vulnerabilities, the Titans eventually overcame those obstacles to seal an important away win.
