GT vs MI My11Circle Team: Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI), both reeling from opening-match defeats, are set to face off in Match 9 of IPL 2025 on Saturday (March 29).
The high-voltage Western derby will be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, with both teams eager to get their first points on the board.

📅 Date: Saturday, March 29
⏰ Time: 7:30 PM IST
📍 Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
The Titans are injury-free and are expected to make a few tactical changes following their narrow loss to Punjab Kings, where they fell short despite chasing a target of over 240.
Sherfane Rutherford failed to impress against PBKS, particularly struggling against wide yorkers. The West Indian may be replaced, with Glenn Phillips being a potential inclusion in the XI. Mohammed Siraj had a forgettable debut for GT but is likely to retain his spot. However, Arshad Khan could make way for Washington Sundar, offering a different bowling option and strengthening the spin department. GT head coach Parthiv Patel had lauded PBKS's bowling, and the onus will now be on his bowlers to deliver against MI.
Mumbai too suffered a defeat in their season opener, but there were positives to take. Debutant Vignesh Puthur made an instant impact with three wickets and could be crucial again, especially with the large boundaries in Ahmedabad aiding spinners.
Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah remains unavailable, but other than that, MI have a fully fit squad. Captain Hardik Pandya returns to the side after serving a suspension and is expected to replace debutant Satyanarayan Raju. MI are likely to stick with their four overseas players as they aim for a bounce-back performance.
