The Mumbai Indians will face off against the Gujarat Titans in the ninth match of the IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. As these two teams hunt their first points in the tournament, these three bowlers stand out as the most likely to dominate based solely on their performance data from the 2023-2025 IPL seasons.

1. Rashid Khan (Gujarat Titans)

GT's premier spinner, Rashid Khan remains our top prediction for most wickets:

  • Outstanding record at Narendra Modi Stadium with 10 wickets in 5 matches (2023-2025)
  • Home ground advantage enhances his effectiveness on a pitch he knows exceptionally well

2. Mohammed Siraj (Gujarat Titans)

One of the GT's pace attack leaders, Mohammed Siraj strengthens his position in our prediction:

  • Strong performances in previous encounters against MI batsmen
  • Home advantage at Narendra Modi Stadium increases his potency

3. Trent Boult (Mumbai Indians)

With Bumrah absent, MI will rely heavily on their experienced left-arm pacer, Trent Boult:

  • Particularly dangerous with the new ball in powerplay overs
  • Left-arm angle creates unique challenges for GT's top order

Conclusion

The bowling data from Narendra Modi Stadium (2023-2025) shows pace bowlers have taken most of the wickets at this venue, making Siraj and Boult particularly dangerous. However, Rashid Khan's exceptional skill allows him to overcome conditions that typically favor pace bowling.

GT's bowlers benefit from their familiarity with home conditions, but Boult's skill set and proven track record make him MI's most likely bowling star in Bumrah's absence.
