The stage is set for the 56th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 as two high-flying teams will collide against each other in a bid to strengthen their position in points table. It is the Mumbai Indians up against Gujarat Titans at the Wankhede Stadium and the winner of the match is set to become the new table toppers.

The Hardik Pandya led MI are coming into this match on the back of a brilliant one-sided win over Rajasthan Royals and have won 6 games in a row as they look to surpass RCB in the points table. GT, on the other hand have 14 points in the table and have won 7 out of 10 matches as they, too, have been one of the strongest teams in the league.

This match promises to be a riveting battle and ahead of the match let us look at what transpired at the toss.

Who won the toss today?

Gujarat Titans won the toss and as expected, Shubman Gill decided to bowl first on a wicket which won't change throughout the course of 40 overs. Gill made just one change, Arshad Khan comes in for Washington Sundar.

Traditionally, the Wankhede surface has assisted the pacers and hence, Gill decided to bring in that extra pace into their lineup and hence, Arshad Khan came into the playing XI.

MI, however, have gone in with the same team from the last match as they aim to win their seventh game on a trot.
