Mumbai Indians have won the toss and have opted to bat

Gujarat Titans Impact Subs: Sherfane Rutherford, Anuj Rawat, Mahipal Lomror, Jayant Yadav, Arshad Khan.

Mumbai Indians Impact Subs: Krishnan Shrijith, Raghu Sharma, Robin Minz, Ashwani Kumar, Reece Topley.

Teams:
Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Jonny Bairstow(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya(c), Naman Dhir, Raj Bawa, Mitchell Santner, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Richard Gleeson

Gujarat Titans (Playing XI): Shubman Gill(c), Sai Sudharsan, Kusal Mendis(w), Shahrukh Khan, Washington Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Gerald Coetzee, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna

a chance and Coetzee has dropped a sitter, went very high and hew had plenty of time to get under it, kept his eyes under and then let the ball burst out of his palms, back of a length and at the stumps, Rohit was swivelling across on the pull, hit it very high and behind square on the on-side, 99 times out of 100, Coetzee would've gobbled it up, but he lets Rohit off the hook tonight

mi 26-1

Kusal Mendis puts it down now. It's not been a great start from the Titans. Was a short of a good length outside off, Rohit cleared his front leg on the slog, gets a thick edge and it went to the keeper's right - Kusal Mendis moved across, goth both gloves, but it popped out. In panic he tried to grab it on the second attempt but he's not well placed and down goes the chance

MI 64-0

MI 65/0 (5.1) CRR: 12.58

Rohit Sharma 19(13)
Jonny Bairstow 44(17

7.2
Sai Kishore to Bairstow, out Caught by Gerald Coetzee!! A tag catch and the Titans have struck finally, credit to Sai Sudharsan, but it'll go down as a catch for Coetzee. Acrobatic effort from the orange cap holder - dived across to his left, but the ball was still going high, so he plucks it one-handed and tips it over the bar, straight into the hands of Coetzee at short third. On replay - this is subnlime from Sai, he not just dived, but had the sense to pluck his right hand out and palm it into the path of Coetzee.

Rashid Khan to Rohit, SIX Rohit is playing a gem here, he's sweeping the spinners into frustration - tossed up on off, he bends down low, gets under the ball and then places it high over square leg, has enough to clear the ropes on the maximum

MI 101/1 (9) CRR: 11.22

Suryakumar Yadav 5(5)

9.6
Sai Kishore to Rohit, FOUR, smashed, dragged short by Sai Kishore - Rohit picks the length early, stays back and then whips the pull through mid-wicket, bisects the two fielders in the deep to a nicelty. MI are going well and in sight of easily going past 200

Can't afford to drop someone like Suryakumar Yadav. He can hurt you!

12.3
Sai Kishore to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, that's gone into the stands. Suryakumar Yadav advances down the wicket and launches it over long-off for half-a-dozen. Moves into the 30s.

12.6
Sai Kishore to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Washington Sundar!! Sai Kishore finishes off his spell with a wicket. That too an important one. A low full toss around middle and leg, Suryakumar Yadav goes down on his knee to play the sweep and he goes aerial.

15.4
Richard Gleeson to Sai Sudharsan, out Bowled!! Is that the game? Some GT supporters are shell-shocked. Was there for the scoop. A low full-toss as the attempted yorker is missed, Sai Sudharsan shuffles across for the scoop, misses and the middle of middle-stump is found. Sudharsan is on his haunches as he is disappointed. Takes his time to walk off but does so, to a standing ovation. Richard Gleeson with a double fist-pump to celebrate.
