In the match between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans, Jacks scored 53 runs while Suryakumar contributed 35 runs. For Gujarat Titans, Sai Kishore took 2 wickets for 34 runs.
GT’s solid bowling once again proved to be a key factor in restricting MI to a total of 155 for 8, after they had managed to reach 97 for 2 earlier on. This impressive performance was partially due to Rashid Khan’s bounce back from his last match, where he had an analysis of 3-0-50-0, as he recorded figures of 4-0-21-1. Additionally, R Sai Kishore also contributed by taking the wickets of Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya. Despite the final nine and a half overs only yielding 6 runs for GT, they were able to maintain their strong hold over MI and limit them to just an 18-run final over.
Along with the spinners, a variety of other bowlers also made their mark. In the opening over, Mohammed Siraj dismissed Ryan Rickleton, while Arshad Khan continued to trouble Rohit Sharma with his left-arm seam. Additionally, Prasidh Krishna solidified his position as the leading wicket-taker by claiming his 20th victim of the season. However, the turning point for MI was not due to any exceptional bowling, but rather the three missed catches – two from Will Jacks and one from Suryakumar – that proved fruitful for them.

Eventually, he adjusted his approach and bowled over the wicket, causing discomfort for Suryakumar and leading to a catch at long-off. GT set up aggressive field placements with a slip and short leg for Hardik, which Sai Kishore executed perfectly with accurate length and spin. Despite attempting to hit aggressively, Hardik could only achieve a top edge while trying to slog sweep.
