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 Jos 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 Varma, Hardik and Naman Dhir 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.

Here’s how fans reacted:
Brilliant win from GT. Too many no balls from Mumbai hurt them badly. Also Deepak Chahar bowling the last over wasn’t ideal for them.

How many twists and turns in one match…….

More twists and turns than your average soap opera. GT hold nerve in the end. Important two points in terms of the top two finish. Well played 👏🏻

GT wins against MI, breaking their 6-match winning streak—what a match! 🏏 Chasing 156, GT needed 15 off the last over at 141/6—Tewatia’s heroics sealed it! Rain played its part, adding drama at Wankhede. 🌧️

What should worry MI is their choice of bowler for that last over and his lengths…
Never for a body language expert but you never felt Deepak had in him to defend those.
Weren't even full tosses trying for yorker, just proper slot stuff.
Makes PBKS, DC game massive now!

Hardik misses. No one at the stumps. GT win. What a crazy game.

MI kick-started their winning streak with a flurry of run-outs against Delhi Capitals. Now, it ended with a missed run-out chance against the Gujarat Titans. 😬🏃♂️
