IPL 2025: 5 milestones that can be achieved in today’s GT vs MI match

Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in match number nine of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, March 29. GT and MI have met five times in the T20 league, with Gujarat having a 3-2 lead in the head-to-head record.

GT began their IPL 2025 campaign with an 11-run defeat against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in a home game. Bowling first, Gujarat conceded 243-5 as most of their bowlers proved expensive. R Sai Kishore (3-30) stood out among the carnage. In the chase, GT were held to 232-5. Sai Sudharsan top-scored with 74 off 41, but PBKS bowlers stalled the chasing side in the end overs.

MI went down to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by four wickets in their opening IPL 2025 match at Chepauk. Sent into bat, Mumbai were held to 155-9 - a disappointing batting effort, with only Tilak Varma crossing the 30-run mark. Debutant left-arm wrist spinner Vignesh Puthur impressed with figures of 3-32 from four overs. MI, though, paid the price for their batting failure.

A number of significant milestones can be achieved in the Gujarat vs Mumbai IPL 2025 clash in Ahmedabad on Saturday. Here's a look.
