Match 9 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will see archrivals from the West take on each other as Gujarat Titans host Mumbai Indians on March 28. The GT vs MI IPL match is always interesting, given Hardik Pandya's involvement in GT's success before moving base back to MI in 2024. GT suffered a narrow 11-run loss to Punjab Kings, while MI were handed a four-wicket defeat by Chennai Super Kings in their respective IPL 2025 openers. GT vs MI IPL 2025, Ahmedabad Weather, Rain Forecast and Pitch Report: Here’s How Weather Will Behave for Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians at Narendra Modi Stadium.

GT fell 11 runs short against PBKS, where batters Sai Sudharshan, Jos Buttler, and Sherfane Rutherford shone but ended up failing short. The bowlers need to step up to the plate, especially the Indian contingent and Rashid Khan, who all gave runs away by the buckets. Shubman Gill's leadership will also need to improve and be more proactive in the field.

For MI, Hardik Pandya will return to the playing XI, which will bring balance to their side. Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma will have to do much better, with a thin late-order and inexperienced overseas batters. The bowling will once again be under the pump given the placid conditions in Ahmedabad.
