Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans, T20, 57th Match, May 12, 2023 - Match Info

Just like how SKY has found his mojo back in the last few games, Mumbai Indians are also getting back to their best. Today they have shown defending a total is not a problem for them and that is a good sign. Gujarat Titans will brush this off as an off-day and move on to the next game, still top the table and one win away from sealing a playoff spot. That's all from this game. We have a couple of crucial double headers coming up over the weekend, do join us for all the action. Goodbye!

A maiden IPL hundred for Suryakumar Yadav at a SR of 210.2. We suggested that he be made the captain in your fantasy plans. Did you? For more such valued information, check out our #FantasyHandbook on Cricbuzz Plus

SKY | Player of the Match: Can say that (was one of my best T20 knocks). Whenever I get runs I think the team should win, most importantly we batted first today and said that we would keep the same tempo when you are chasing 200-220. There was a lot of dew on the ground, it was there from the 7-8th over and I knew what shots to play, I was not thinking about hitting straight, I had two shots in the mind - one over fine leg and one over third man. There is lots and lots of practice before the game, so when I come into the game I am very clear and just go express myself.

Rohit Sharma | MI captain: It was an interesting game especially from our point of view, happy to get the two points. That was pleasing, bat first and then come out and defend the total. We kept picking wickets and in this format you have to do that, great bowling effort from our bowlers. The guy (SKY) has got the confidence. We wanted to keep right-left combination but SKY came in and said no, he wanted to go in. That is the kind of confidence he has and that rubs off on others. Every game he wants to start fresh and does not look back at the previous game. Sometimes you can sit back and feel proud about what you have done but that is not the case with him.

Akash Madhwal - I have bowled previously in the dew, so it wasn't difficult, we have practiced for such things. Rohit asked me to start with hard length balls and then concentrate on accuracy. He always does that in the nets as well (on Suryakumar Yadav), we're happy to be in the same team as him. I'm just looking to continue working hard on my skills. I want to work harder and continue doing well in the next few matches.

Hardik Pandya | GT captain: Felt like from our team only he (Rashid) turned up. The way he batted, the way he bowled, it was tremendous. Don't have to try much (after this result). As a group we weren't there. In bowling also we were very flat. Didn't have clear plans or didn't execute. Wicket was very flat but I felt we gave 25 runs extra. Have spoken enough about him (Surya). One of the best batters in T20 cricket. You saw what can happen if you don't execute your plans. For me it's very important that as a bowler you are clear. I can only set the fields. Losing five wickets and then scoring 129 in the last 10 overs (MI innings). We lacked a lot of execution and heart. That cost us the game. Intensity was also flat. Expected things to happen, but everyone knows at this level it doesn't just happen.

23:30 Local Time, 18:00 GMT: A near perfect game for Mumbai Indians and it coming at this stage of the season shows they are peaking at the right time. Rohit got some runs under his belt, SKY continued to soar, Vishnu Vinod made the most of his chance, Madhwal came out trumps with the new ball and Chawla provided the wickets in the middle overs. Gujarat Titans never got going in the chase. They lost three wickets in the powerplay and a couple more soon after, Miller and Tewatia steadied the procession but fell off consecutive deliveries. The game was almost done there but Rashid kept the crowd entertained with his 21-ball fifty and ensured that the margin of defeat was much lesser. Presentations coming up..

19.6 Kartikeya to Rashid Khan, no run, MI win by 27 runs. This is good win but would have been massive had they won it by a bigger margin. GT were 103/8 but Rashid played a blinder to ensure MI don't get their big win. Coming to the ball: full toss outside off, Rashid slices it towards backward point and Green collects it on the half volley

19.6 Kartikeya to Rashid Khan, wide, Rashid stands outside off and Kartikeya fires it down leg, Ishan Kishan had to dive to collect the ball

19.5 Kartikeya to Rashid Khan, no run, dropped! Jordan has put one down. He runs in and does not hang on. Rashid miscues the whip and gets it off the leading edge towards mid-off, Jordan runs in and gets both hands but the ball does not stick

19.4 Kartikeya to Rashid Khan, SIX, third six in the over. Mind you, Green had overs up his sleeve and Rohit still went with Kartikeya. This was a mishit and the ball still sails over. Rashid goes for the slog sweep and gets more of a top-edge, sail over long-on

19.3 Kartikeya to Rashid Khan, SIX, quicker, fuller and at the stumps, Rashid is waiting for such deliveries and flicks it with his strong bottom hand over deep mid-wicket

19.2 Kartikeya to Rashid Khan, no run, fired short and outside off, Rashid throws his bat and does not connect

Kartikeya goes over the wicket

19.1 Kartikeya to Rashid Khan, SIX, helicopter takes off this time. Kartikeya attacks the stumps, but Rashid brings the bottom hand into play and whips it high into the night sky, got the distance to clear deep mid-wicket

19.1 Kartikeya to Rashid Khan, wide, starts with a dart outside off, Rashid lets it pass and collects the wide

48 off the last over and Rohit has gone to a spinner - Kartikeya..

18.6 Jordan to Alzarri Joseph, no run, off-pace delivery and Joseph is completely deceived, swings early and misses
