Mumbai Indians and the Gujarat Titans are currently playing in the 56th match of the IPL 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium. The Mumbai Indians are being dominated by the Titans in the game.
Notably, the Gujarat Titans won the toss ahead of the game and put the Mumbai Indians into bat. The Mumbai Indians struggled to find their way with the bat. Led by Will Jacks and Suryakumar Yadav, the home team somehow managed to post a total of 155/6 at the end of 20 overs.
Hardik Pandya Cedes Momentum With A Disastrous Over
In the chase, Mumbai Indians struck early as Sai Sudharsan walked out of the ground. MI built pressure with the wicket and a string of good overs after that. However, Hardik Pandya bowled a wasteful over and conceded the momentum to the opposition.
In this, Pandya recorded the longest over of IPL history -

11 - Hardik Pandya (MI vs GT, 2025)
11 - Sandeep Sharma (RR vs DC, 2025)

11 – Tushar Deshpande (CSK v LSG, 2023)

It was the eighth over of the innings. The match was in a balance at that stage with both the teams trying to take the advantageous position in the game. However, the MI skipper bowled 2 no-balls and five wides and conceded 18 runs in it.
This over allowed the Titans to take the momentum and turn the game in their favour. Notably, two more incidents like this occurred during this edition of the tournament. Sandeep Sharma bowled a 11 ball over against the Delhi Capitals, Shardul Thakur also did the same thing against the Kolkata Knight Riders.
