IPL 2025: Kagiso Rabada Returns as Gujarat Aim to Halt Mumbai’s Winning Streak

May 6, 2025: In what promises to be one of the most decisive games of IPL 2025, Mumbai Indians (MI) take on Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Wankhede Stadium — a showdown loaded with playoff implications and the potential to reshape the points table.

Both teams sit locked on 14 points, separated only by net run rate — the two best in the league — and a win here would guarantee pole position and a near-certain top-two finish. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the cricket world is watching.

MI enter with an intimidating streak: six straight wins, a deep Indian core bolstered by elite overseas stars, and match-winners in Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya. GT, on the other hand, boast IPL 2025’s most efficient top three in Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler — a trio so consistent, they’ve rarely all failed in the same match.

The match also carries echoes of past drama — the “Hardik Pandya Derby” storyline from 2024 — though this year, it’s all about who takes control of the playoff race.

With bowlers like Boult and Bumrah ready to challenge GT’s star batters, and GT’s breakout star Prasidh Krishna looking to once again neutralize MI’s firepower, expect a tactical, high-octane battle.

One thing’s for sure: the victor tonight may well carry the momentum and psychological edge all the way to the final.
