Gujarat Titans recorded a thrilling six-run win against Mumbai Indians in their opening IPL 2024 game at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. A late comeback from Gujarat pace bowlers helped the 2022 winner defend 162 runs against their former captain Hardik Pandya.

Mumbai’s winless streak in the first match of the IPL season now extends to 12 games. Hardik won the crucial toss and elected to bowl first but failed to impress with a bat and ball on his infamous return to Ahmedabad. 

Gujarat Titans Playing XI: Shubman Gill (c), Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Sai Sudharsan (substituted by Mohit Sharma), Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Umesh Yadav, Sai Kishore, Spencer Johnson.

Mumbai Indians Playing XI: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Tilak Varma, Naman Dhir, Hardik Pandya (c), Tim David, Shams Mulani, Piyush Chawla, Gerald Coetzee, Jasprit Bumrah, Luke Wood (substituted by Dewald Brevis).
