GT End MI’s Winning Streak in a Rain-Drama at Wankhede

On Tuesday, May 6, Gujarat Titans (GT) won a great match against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Wankhede Stadium in Match 56 of IPL 2025. With this big win, GT not only ended the streak of MI’s six-match winning run but also moved to the top of the points table.GT captain Shubman Gill won the toss and decided to bowl first.

The bowlers started strong, and MI openers Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharm returned to the Pavilion in the powerplay. MI struggled to build partnerships and managed 156 runs in the first innings. Chasing the target, GT lost Sai Sudharsan early, but Gill and Jos Buttler steadied things with a good partnership. Buttler was looking in touch, but Ashwini Kumar dismissed him before he could do more damage.

Then came Sherfane Rutherford as the impact player smashed 28 runs off just 15 balls, giving GT a much-needed push. However, rain kept interrupting the game, making things tricky in the middle of the match. After the break, Jasprit Bumrah turned the game around for MI by taking key wickets including Gill and Shahrukh Khan.GT was in trouble and needed 31 runs off the last 18 balls, just two runs behind the DLS par score.

 The pressure increased when Ashwini Kumar took another wicket, removing Rashid Khan. With 15 needed from the final over, it was all or nothing. MI gave the ball to Deepak Chahar, but GT held their nerve and chased down the target in the last few balls to win a nail-biter. This win was huge for GT not only did they stop MI’s dream run, but they also gave themselves a big boost in the race to the playoffs.

Am not an MI fan but seeing GT win like this feels unfair and shitty to be honest

Don’t think I will ever like GT as a team

Half the time, it feels like they are sleep walking and somehow manage to win the game

MI activated rain mode, umpire DRS mode, and even prayed for a power cut — but GT still hit the ‘skip ad’ button on all the drama and won.#GTvsMI #MIvGT #MIvsGT pic.twitter.com/8flNavrpVB
