GT vs MI IPL 2024 Highlights: Gill's Gujarat captaincy off to winning start, Mumbai lose 12th consecutive opening match

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: What a first over that is from Azamatullah Omarzai. He played a useful hand with the ball, now he is delivering with the ball. One run from a wide and then Naman Dhir takes a single off the last ball.

GT vs MI Live Score: MI 2/1 in 1 over

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Fantastic bowling there from Omarzai. Seam up pulls his length back from what he had been bowling at for the first three balls and it angles across the left hander. A feather of an edge as it goes to Saha.

Kishan c Saha b Azmatullah Omarzai 0 (4)

GT vs MI Live Score: MI 0/1 in 0.4 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Here we go then, time for protagonists of two sub plots to take centre stage. Can Rohit Sharm turn around some middling form in the last few seasons now that the burden of captaincy is off his shoulders and can Ishan Kishan give a reminder of just how good he is, in case people forgot all that in the storm of negative press he received in the last few months. Mohit Sharma has been brought in as an impact sub by GT for Sai Sudharsan. Azmatullah Omarzai, though, is bowling the first over.

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Sai Sudharsan says that it is a tricky wicket, a bit of turn on offer. He hence says that this might be a good target. He also says that enjoyed his match-up with Bumrah. Dew is a little less today, which is very good news for Rashid Khan and Co.

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: The Titans looked set for something close to 200 at one point and credit goes almost exclusively to Bumrah for restricting them to where they got to. He bowled four overs at an economy of 3.50 and toom three wickets, utterly unplayable. The next best, among those who bowled four overs, was Gerald Coetzee who went for 6.75. As many as eight players bowled for MI today.

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: That is a brilliant catch in the deep from Naman Dhir. Coetzee gets his second wicket. Tewatia trying to go big over the leg side, Dhir comes charging in and dives forward to complete the catch. There is a check to see if he had grounded the ball or not and the replays only confirmed the brilliance of that catch.

Tewatia c Naman Dhir b Coetzee 22 (15)

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 161/6 in 19.1 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Bumrah conceded just two runs and took two wickets in the 17th over, the next one ends up becoming the most expensive of the innings. Wood loses it a bit with his last delivery, first it slips out of his hand to become a beamer that yorks Ishan Kishan standing all the way back. Then he goes too short and that becomes wide. Then a single off the last ball.

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 154/5 in 18 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Tewatia with a deliberate thick edge past short third. Then he sends the next ball past short third again with a late cut.

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 149/5 in 17.4 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: The third delivery is full in middle by Bumrah, Sudharsan flicks it straight to the fielder at deep backward square leg.

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 134/5 in 16.3 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Bumrah starts off with the slower ball and Miller is completely deceived. Tries to lift it over mid-off, can't get any distance on it and Pandya catches it at mid-off.

Miller c Pandya b Bumrah 12 (11)

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 133/4 in 16.1 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: GT can set something over 200 here. Sudharsan is on 45 off 38, Miller at the other end on 12 of 10. Jasprit Bumra is surely going to bowl two of these last four overs.

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 133/3 in 16 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Pandya returns to bowl the 15th over. The third ball comes in at a good length, wide outside off, Sudharsan cuts it off the back foot behind point.

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Fourth ball of the 14th over from Coetzee, Sai Sudharsan stands tall and pulls it to the boundary. Just a single after that in the over and the umpire points to his watch to mark the second time out.

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 114/3 in 14 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Well, well, well this is quite a sight. Pandya did not get the best of receptions when he bowled the first two overs. Now Bumrah returns for the 13th over, Pandya puts in a last minute dive at mid-on to stop the runs down to one and boos ring out around the stadium. This wasn't a smattering from pockets of the crowd, it was emphatic. Quite rare to see an Indian player being booed, even when he is playing for the away side in the IPL.

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Omarzai holes out at deep midwicket off the last ball of the 12th over bowled by Gerald Coetzee. The South African roars in delight, veins popping and all.

Omarzai c Tilak Varma b Coetzee 17 (11)

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 104/3 in 12 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: That is Omarzai's first six of his IPL career. He was one of the standout players in the 2023 World Cup accross teams, not just for Afghanistan. Omarzai slogs the fifth ball back over Chawla's head. Two off the last ball and Omarzai is on 16 off nine, Sudharsan on 26 off 20.

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 99/2 in 11 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Chawla bowling the 11th, change of ends for him. Sudharsan swats away the first ball behind square leg for a flat six. He moves to 24 off 18.

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 88/2 in 10.1 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Third ball of the 10th by Naman Dhir, Omarzai slogs in the air. It lands safe and then beats Gerald Coetzee at deep midwicket by the spin he gets. Not something you would expect from someone who plays cricket for a living really. Four runs from the rest of that over makes it 13 from it an Omarzai is on seven off six, Sudharsan on 18 off 17.

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 82/2 in 10 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Old man Chawla gets the big wicket! Two consecutive overs without a boundary for the batters and so it was only a matter of time before one of them went for a big one. A quicker one from Chawla for the fourth ball of the eighth, Gill comes down the track trying to go straight and up and over. No distance to that shot and Rohit takes a simple catch.

Gill c Sharma b Chawla 31 (22)

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 64/2 in 7.4 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Just four runs off that over from Chawla and so this powerplay has ended up being a rather even contest. Somehow, though, Jasprit Bumrah has ended up bowling just one over in it. Luke Wood has a good record in powerplay in recent T20 games and he has bowled just one over as well. The only bowler to get two overs in the powerplay was Hardik Pandya, and he conceded 19 runs in it. And despite all this, GT have not really been able to run away. A huge chance to make inroads missed by MI.

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 47/1 in 6 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Spinner Shams Mulani brought in for the fifth over. Full outside off, Gill goes low and sweeps it high and mighty over square leg. He has moved to 22 off 14, Sai Sudarshan at the other end on one off as many. Elder statesman Piyush Chawla will bowl the last over of the powerplay.

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 43/1 in 5 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: And that is why we were wondering why Bumrah didn't open the bowling. Saha got a four off the fourth ball. The last ball, however, is that searing Bumrah yorker honing on off stump, Saha can't bring his bat down in time, hardly any batters in the world who can really, and the stumps are rattled.

Saha b Bumrah 19 (15)

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 31/1 in 4 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Eight runs off the third over and finally, Pandya hands the ball to Bumrah. This may be GT's home ground but a huge cheer goes around as the ace pacer stands at the start of his run up. Saha is on strike on 15 off nine balls, Gill on 11 off nine.

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 27/0 in 3 overs

GT vs MI IPL Live Score 2024, Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians: Pandya bowling the third over as well after Wood's second over goes for seven runs. For some reason Jasprit Bumrah hasn't been handed the ball despite this being the third over. First ball from Pandya in the third is full and slightly wide, Saha places it nicely past backward point. Then he sends in a nice slot delivery for Saha to munch on. Bumrah just looking and staring.

GT vs MI Live Score: GT 26/0 in 2.2 overs
