Hardik Pandya to break these records against GT [Source: @ImTanujSingh/x.com]
The Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the ninth match of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday, March 28. Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, haven’t had the best start to the season, losing their opening match against Punjab Kings.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians are set to welcome back their regular captain, Hardik Pandya, who missed the last game due to a one-match suspension for a slow over rate.
Mumbai Indians, five-time IPL champions, are still searching for their first win of the season after losing to Chennai Super Kings by four wickets on March 23. GT, despite putting up a massive total of 232 runs, fell short by 11 runs against Punjab Kings. As they face MI at home, GT will hope for another strong batting display while their bowlers aim to contain Mumbai’s powerful lineup.
With Pandya returning to lead MI, this game will be extra special for him as he faces his former team. Moreover, he has a golden opportunity to achieve some significant personal milestones.
