In the ongoing Match 5 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season, Mumbai Indians (MI) faced an uphill battle right from the get-go against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

IPL 2024: Ishan Kishan departs for a duck in GT vs MI clash

Chasing a target of 169, it was expected that MI would start on a high but they got off to a horrendous start in the very first over, losing opener Ishan Kishan for a four-ball duck.

Afghanistan's speed merchant, Azmatullah Omarzai, delivered a masterclass in seam bowling, putting Mumbai Indians on the back foot immediately.

The delivery that got Kishan was nothing short of a peach—an outswinger that could tempt even the most sound batters. The southpaw, in an attempt to nudge it past point, only managed to feather an edge to GT wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha, leaving for a disappointing duck.



This early blow was a reality check for Mumbai Indians, leaving them at 7/1 after 1.3 overs. With a mountain to climb, chasing a target of 169, the onus has fallen on the shoulders of Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir to steer the ship through turbulent waters.

The former MI skipper is batting on 4 off just one ball, while Dhir has just started to find his feet with 2 off 4 balls. The road ahead is arduous, with Mumbai needing another 162 runs from 111 balls.

The early jolt has brought the game to a crucial juncture, with Gujarat Titans sensing blood. For Mumbai Indians, it is a moment of introspection and regrouping. The team's response to this setback will be crucial, as they seek to find a lifeline through a stabilizing partnership.

On the other hand, Gujarat Titans, buoyed by the early wicket, will look to tighten the noose, aiming for more wickets.
