MI vs GT: In a thrilling encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, the Gujarat Titans held their nerve and emerged victorious in a rain-affected contest against the Mumbai Indians in match number 56 of IPL 2025. The game was cut short due to intermittent rain, and the Titans needed 15 from 6 via the DLS method. Tewatia and Coetzee held their nerves and sealed another crucial win in their campaign. 
Toss: Gujarat Titans Won the Toss and opted to bowl first
Mumbai Indians’ innings was a mixed bag on a surface known for big totals. Despite the Wankhede traditionally favouring batters, MI could only muster 155. Will Jacks stood out with a gritty half-century, his first of the season, but lacked significant support from others. While MI started well at 97/2, a sudden collapse reduced them to 113/6, stalling their momentum.

Although not at their sharpest in the field with multiple dropped catches, Gujarat Titans managed to claw back through disciplined bowling and crucial middle-overs wickets, especially from Rashid Khan and Mohit Sharma. MI were unable to find the final push in the death overs and left their bowlers with a modest total to defend.
Gujarat’s chase began cautiously, with the early loss of Sai Sudharsan. Gill and Buttler consolidated, ensuring no further loss in the powerplay, though they only managed 29 runs in the first six overs. Just as GT began to steady their ship, rain interrupted the chase in the 12th over.
When play resumed at 11:20 PM, Jasprit Bumrah struck immediately, removing Gill and swinging the match in MI’s favour. Trent Boult then dismissed Rutherford, and Bumrah returned to dismiss Shahrukh Khan, leaving GT struggling.

The Titans needed 33 off the last 20 balls, but economical bowling from MI, especially Ashwini’s tight over, applied the tight choke. With rain returning, GT were 4 runs short of the DLS par score when play was stopped again and the game restarted at 12:30 with the new equation of 15 runs needed from 6 balls.
Chahar bowled the over, and Tewatia hit the first ball for a FOUR, a single from the second. Coetzee smoked the third one for a massive six. Salt on the wound, Deepak bowled a no-ball. The final twist was the wicket of Coetzee in the second-last ball, but GT needed 1 from the final ball. Gujarat Titans finally won the game, and it couldn't have come any better for them.
Special praises for the Mumbai Indians' death-over bowlers, who worked hard to turn the tide with exceptional precision and calm under pressure. Jasprit Bumrah once again lived up to his reputation as the 'golden arm' with two important wickets post-rain. Trent Boult’s timely breakthrough and Ashwini’s miserly over further tightened the screws. 
They almost had the game on their hands, have the rain wouldn't interfere! Nonetheless, credit goes to Coetzee and Tewatia, who pulled up 15 runs in the final 6 balls and won the game for GT by 3 wickets.

GT vs SRH: In a high-stakes clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the Gujarat Titans delivered a commanding performance to overpower the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 38 runs in the TATA IPL 2025.
<h2>GT vs SRH Match Summary</h2>
At the home of Gujarat, Hyderabad won the flip of the coin and asked the home team to bat first. Gujarat happily welcomed the decision and posted 82 runs inside the powerplay. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan were exceptional with the bat. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_68150d26d77fa.jpg" alt="">
Zeeshan Ansari got the first wicket in the 7th over, but that brought Jos Buttler to the crease. Gill and Buttler put up another 60-run partnership. Washington Sunder also played a decent cameo with Jos Buttler and pushed the team's total past 200. 
With 225 to chase, SRH had a fiery start as Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma got going from the first ball. They posted around 80 runs in the first 9 overs and needed 140 runs from the last 10 overs. Abhishek Sharma was still there and posted a quick 74 in 41 balls before mishitting a short of length ball by Ishant Sharma. 
Prasidh Krishna bowled exceptionally well in the defence of 225. He bowled four overs, took two wickets, and leaked just 19 runs. The middle order of SRH had no answers against the tight and disciplined bowling attack of the Gujarat Titans.
Nitish Kumar Reddy and Pat Cummins played aggressively in the last couple of overs, but only to reduce the defeat margin. GT defeated SRH by 38 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
With this important win, Gujarat Titans now have 14 points and they are at the second spot in the TATA IPL 2025 Points Table.

Gujarat Titans Punched Down Desperate Sunrisers Hyderabad by 38 runs!

Gujarat Titans outclassed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 38 runs, powered by strong batting and disciplined bowling, climbing to second in the IPL 2025 table while denting SRH’s playoff hopes.

GT beat SRH by 38 runs with dominant batting and tight bowling, rising to second place in the IPL standings.

The Rajasthan Royals have really wreaked havoc in this chase of 210! Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi, two youthful sensations, have helped RR to an incredible triumph. They won by eight wickets in this match, ending their five-match losing streak and preserving their prospects of making the playoffs. 
Must Read - <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/-all-teams-should-be-scared-piyush-chawla-fires-warning-to-ipl-teams-as-mumbai-indians-win-fifth-successive-match/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">'All teams should be scared'- Piyush Chawla fires warning to IPL teams as Mumbai Indians win fifth successive match</a>
The young, explosive combination of Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal provided the Rajasthan Royals with a fantastic start as they chased a large total. During the Powerplay, they pounded the boundaries and put on a fantastic display throughout the park as they attacked the Gujarat Titans. 14-year-old wonderkid Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the youngest player in the history of the Tata IPL to make a half-century after hitting his first IPL fifty in just 17 balls! The two scored 87 runs in the Powerplay, setting the stage for the epic chase, and the fireworks didn't end there.
Rewriting the record books as the youngest IPL centurion, Vaibhav resumed his onslaught without letting up, sprinting to his first IPL century off just 35 balls. Even though Prasidh Krishna eventually dismissed the new sensation after Yashasvi Jaiswal achieved a well-earned half-century, the damage had already been done. Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal made sure there were no more disruptions, leading the Rajasthan Royals home with a tidy chase with 25 balls remaining, despite Rashid Khan's temporary boost in confidence with another wicket.
With the ball in hand, the Gujarat-based team had a memorable day. In the second innings, Rashid Khan took over as captain after Shubman Gill was replaced due to a minor back spasm, but GT never really settled in. A pivotal moment occurred early on when Jos Buttler dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal for just two runs, a costly error that ultimately came back to haunt them. The Royals' hitters made GT pay a heavy price after that. Every Gujarati bowler save Rashid Khan was destroyed, and the Titans were unable to respond to the unrelenting attack. Their net run rate is also negatively impacted by this crushing loss, which puts them under additional pressure as the tournament draws to a close.
The Gujarat Titans demonstrated their dominance at the top earlier in the match, with their top three players putting on a show and scoring more than 200. With a fluid 93-run partnership, Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill established a good base. In the middle overs, Gill and Jos Buttler changed tactics to ensure the impressive start was completely capitalized on. Gill eventually left after a graceful 84, but Buttler maintained the momentum by launching a late attack to reach his half-century and lead GT to a commanding 209. It was by no means the Rajasthan Royals' finest performance. Their bowling lacked venom, and their fielding was inconsistent. Off-spinner Theekshana was the lone warrior with two scalps, but overall, the Royals' bowling effort fell well short of the mark too.

RR pulled off a remarkable chase of 210, defeating GT by 8 wickets and ending their losing streak. Young guns Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi were the heroes, with Suryavanshi smashing a record-breaking 17-ball fifty and a 35-ball century, becoming the youngest to achieve both in IPL history. Jaiswal also contributed a half-century. Despite GT's earlier strong batting performance, featuring half-centuries from Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler, their bowling faltered. A dropped catch of Jaiswal early on proved pivotal, as RR cruised to victory with 25 balls left, significantly denting GT's net run rate.

What a thriller of a chase by the Rajasthan Royals! Facing a daunting target of 210, the youthful dynamism of Yashasvi Jaiswal and the sensational Vaibhav Suryavanshi propelled RR to an incredible eight-wicket victory, breaking their five-game losing streak and reigniting their playoff aspirations. The explosive opening pair set the tone in the Powerplay, smashing boundaries all around the park. In a record-breaking feat, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi became the youngest ever to score an IPL half-century, reaching it in a mere 17 balls. He didn't stop there, continuing his onslaught to become the youngest IPL centurion, achieving his maiden hundred in just 35 deliveries. Although Prasidh Krishna eventually dismissed the young prodigy after Jaiswal notched a well-deserved fifty, the foundation for victory was firmly laid. Jaiswal and Riyan Parag then calmly guided the Royals home with 25 balls to spare, despite a brief glimmer of hope for the Gujarat Titans with a wicket from Rashid Khan.

Earlier, the Gujarat Titans' batting lineup had put on an impressive display, with their top three batsmen contributing to a total exceeding 200. Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill forged a solid 93-run partnership, setting a strong platform. Gill and Jos Buttler then strategically built on this start, ensuring the momentum was maintained. Gill departed after a stylish 84, but Buttler accelerated towards the end, reaching his half-century and powering GT to a formidable 209. However, the Rajasthan Royals' bowling attack struggled to make an impact, lacking penetration and exhibiting inconsistent fielding. Off-spinner Theekshana was the only bowler to claim two wickets, as the overall bowling performance fell short. With the ball, the Gujarat Titans had a day to forget. Despite Rashid Khan taking over captaincy after Shubman Gill had to leave due to a minor back spasm, they never found their footing. A crucial early dropped catch of Yashasvi Jaiswal for just two runs proved costly, as the Royals' batsmen made them pay dearly. Every Gujarati bowler, except Rashid Khan, faced a relentless assault, and the Titans had no answers. This heavy defeat significantly dented their net run rate, adding pressure as the tournament progresses.

RR vs GT: Rajasthan Royals stun Gujarat Titans with a brilliant run chase of 210 runs, 14-year-old Suryavanshi scrips history with a hundred

2022 winners Gujarat Titans (GT) are slated to take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) today in the 47th match of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Gujarat, who are in great form under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, will be eyeing to secure their place in the playoffs by winning this match, while Rajasthan will enter the field with the intention of saving their honor.

The Shubman Gill-led side are currently placed second on the points table. They have secured victories in 6 out of 8 games so far and have suffered just two defeats this season. Now they need just two more wins to ensure a place in the playoffs. Gujarat's team is currently looking strong in every department, be it batting or bowling.
On the other hand, this season has been disappointing for the Rajasthan-based team. After losing 7 out of 9 matches, they are almost out of the playoff race. The team now has to play to save its honour in the remaining matches. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag and Nitish Rana have played good innings in between, but the team could not get a match-winning performance.
There has been a lack of consistency in the bowling department as well, due to which Rajasthan has had to face defeat at crucial moments again and again. The absence of Sanju Samson has also increased the team's problems and now the responsibility is on the shoulders of young Riyan Parag. Rajasthan's team can give a chance to spinner Kumar Karthikeya in this match.
<h2>Strongest Playing 11's of both teams</h2>
Probable Playing XI of Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill (captain), Jos Buttler, Sai Sudarshan, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Sherfane Rutherford, Rashid Khan, Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Ishant Sharma.
Probable playing XI of Rajasthan Royals : Yashasvi Jaiswal, Nitish Rana, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Riyan Parag (captain), Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshna, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande and Kumar Karthikeya.
<h2>Know the head-to-head record</h2>
Total matches: 5  Gujarat Titans won: 4  Rajasthan Royals won: 1
Gujarat Titans will enter this match as a favorite. Rajasthan has nothing left to lose, so they can play without any worries. If Rajasthan batsmen stay firm in the initial overs and the bowlers perform as per the plan, then the match can become interesting.

Gujarat Titans (2nd place, 6 wins) aim to secure an IPL 2025 playoff spot against struggling Rajasthan Royals (7 losses in 9 matches) in their 47th-match clash. Led by Shubman Gill, GT's balanced squad (featuring Rashid Khan and Jos Buttler) are heavy favorites against RR's inconsistent lineup, now captained by Riyan Parag in Samson's absence. GT dominate the head-to-head record 4-1, but RR - already out of playoff contention - could play freely to salvage pride. Key battles include GT's strong bowling attack versus RR's underperforming batsmen.

The 47th match of IPL 2025 will see Gujarat Titans (GT) take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in a crucial encounter. GT, led by Shubman Gill, are in stellar form, sitting second on the table with six wins from eight matches. A victory here would edge them closer to securing a playoff spot, thanks to their balanced batting and bowling units. In contrast, RR have endured a dismal season, losing seven of nine matches and virtually bowing out of playoff contention. Despite flashes of brilliance from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag (now leading in Sanju Samson’s absence), and Nitish Rana, their inconsistent bowling and lack of match-winning performances have cost them dearly. GT’s probable XI features power hitters like Gill and Jos Buttler, alongside a strong bowling attack led by Rashid Khan and Mohammed Siraj. RR, with nothing to lose, may experiment, possibly including spinner Kumar Karthikeya. Historically, GT dominate the head-to-head record (4-1), making them favorites, but RR could spring a surprise if their batsmen fire early and bowlers execute their plans. The match promises intrigue as GT chase playoff security while RR fight for pride.

rr-vs-gt-playing-xi-ipl-2025-strongest-playing-11-s-of-the-rajasthan-royals-and-gujarat-titans-rr-likely-to-make-changes

Table toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) put on an absolutely clinical display, and with their sixth victory of the year, they currently lead the table by a handful points. For the first time this season, KKR has failed to recover from a setback, and their dismal batting performance continues as they now suffer their fifth loss.

Mohammed Siraj struck in the first over, dismissing Rahmanullah Gurbaz, giving the Titans a great start with the ball after they had scored over 200 runs. The spinners then greatly controlled the action after Rashid Khan removed Narine in the final over of the Powerplay.
Rashid took two wickets, Sai Kishore and Washington Sundar each took one, and Prasidh Krishna continued his incredible season with a few more wickets. GT had a great all-around performance because they were excellent on the field and didn't miss any catches.
Although KKR appears to have the longest batting lineup on paper, they have relied largely on captain Ajinkya Rahane, who once again proved himself with a half-century. And once more, he was disappointed by individuals near him.
Hard hitting batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz replaced Quinton de Kock in the playing 11, but he did nothing to help them; they continued to lose wickets at regular intervals. One may argue that Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who in as the Impact substitute at number 9, should have entered at number 4 or 5, as he went uncontested at 27 off just 13 balls. 
It didn't work out when KKR decided to send the hitters out early. The Gujarat Titans' top three hitters put up a lot of runs early in the game, displaying yet another masterpiece. Sai Sudharsan scored a magnificent half-century, Jos Buttler played a brilliant not out knock of 41 runs in just 23 balls, and skipper Shubman Gill was the pick of the batters with an amazing 90 run knock. 
Rahane's team chose to bowl first, but they were unable to make the breakthrough quickly enough. Despite keeping the opposition under 200 runs, it was a significant score on this surface.

Gujarat Titans vs Kolkata Knight Riders | Image: X (Gujarat Titans)

Gujarat Titans (GT) clinched their sixth win, solidifying their lead atop the table with a clinical performance against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). GT's top order, led by Shubman Gill's 90, Sai Sudharsan's half-century, and Jos Buttler's unbeaten 41, powered them past 200. KKR, opting to bowl, couldn't break through early and crumbled in their chase, suffering their fifth loss. Mohammed Siraj struck first, and spinners Rashid Khan, Sai Kishore, and Washington Sundar, along with Prasidh Krishna, dismantled KKR's batting. Despite Ajinkya Rahane's half-century, KKR's lineup faltered, with GT's sharp fielding sealing a dominant victory.

In a commanding performance, table-topping Gujarat Titans (GT) secured their sixth victory of the season, defeating Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and extending their lead at the top of the points table. GT posted a formidable total over 200, driven by a masterful batting display from their top order, with Shubman Gill's elegant 90, Sai Sudharsan's half-century, and Jos Buttler's unbeaten 41 off 23 balls. KKR, opting to bowl first, struggled to break through early and paid the price. In response, KKR's batting faltered, marking their fifth loss of the season, as they failed to recover from an early blow by Mohammed Siraj, who dismissed Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the first over. Rashid Khan's two wickets, alongside contributions from Sai Kishore, Washington Sundar, and Prasidh Krishna, kept KKR's lineup in check, despite a fighting half-century from captain Ajinkya Rahane. KKR's decision to send hitters early backfired, and while impact substitute Angkrish Raghuvanshi's quick 27 off 13 hinted at potential, it was too late. GT's all-around excellence, marked by tight bowling, sharp fielding, and no dropped catches, underscored their dominance in the match.

Reigning Champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to host 2022 winners Gujarat Titans (GT) at the iconic Eden Gardens in the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on April 21. The defending champions have won 3 matches while losing 4 so far in IPL 2025. Ajinkya Rahane and his men have struggled a lot in the batting department this season. They even failed to chase down a small total of 112 runs in their previous game versus the Punjab Kings (PBKS).

Players like Ajinkya Rahane, Quinton de Kock, Venkatesh Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi have shown glimpses of class, but none of them have been able to perform consistently well. The form of Rinku Singh and Andre Russell is also a matter of concern. Meanwhile, their bowlers have performed sensationally. The likes of Varun Chakravarthy, Vaibhav Arora and Sunil Narine have performed well. The only focus needs to be on batting.
On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have performed brilliantly. They have secured wins in 5 out of 7 matches. Due to this, the Shubman Gill-led outfit is currently sitting at the top of the points table. Their top order consisting og Sai Sudarshan, Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler have been in brilliant form and this is the reason why the team is doing so well this season. Among the bowlers, Prasidh Krishna is performing consistently, while Mohammed Siraj and Sai Kishore have been impressive.

So far 4 matches have been played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans in IPL. Out of these, KKR has won one and Gujarat Titans has won 2. The match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans to be held on 13 May 2024 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad was canceled due to rain. KKR's highest score against Gujarat is 207 and lowest is 148 runs. At the same time, Gujarat Titans' highest score against KKR is 204 and lowest is 156 runs.
<h2>Eden Gardens pitch report</h2>
There have been a lot of disputes over the pitch of the Eden Gardens stadium this season. In the opening game of the season, Ajinkya Rahane and his men wanted a more spinner-friendly surface, but that did not happen. After complaining on multiple occassions, the nature of the pitch has changed a bit.
It became more friendly for the spin bowlers and the same is likely to happen in the match between KKR and GT. However, it will not be a low-scoring affair. Any score around 185-190 can be considered good on this pitch. Bowling first would be the ideal decision as dew might play a role in the second innings.

Struggling KKR (3 wins in 7 matches) face table-toppers GT (5 wins in 7 matches) at Eden Gardens. KKR's batting has been inconsistent, with Rahane, de Kock and others failing to chase even modest totals, while their bowlers have performed well. GT, led by in-form Shubman Gill, have been dominant with strong contributions from Buttler, Sudarshan and their bowling attack. The Eden Gardens pitch, initially a point of controversy, is now more spin-friendly but should still allow competitive scores around 180-190. GT have won 2 of their 4 past meetings against KKR.

Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), led by Ajinkya Rahane, have struggled in IPL 2025, winning only 3 out of 7 matches due to inconsistent batting performances. Despite flashes of brilliance from players like Rahane, Quinton de Kock, and Venkatesh Iyer, the team has failed to chase even modest targets, including a recent collapse against Punjab Kings. Their bowling, led by Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakravarthy, and Sunil Narine, has been strong, but batting remains a major concern. In contrast, Gujarat Titans (GT), under Shubman Gill, lead the points table with 5 wins in 7 matches, thanks to dominant performances from Gill, Sai Sudarshan, Jos Buttler, and a disciplined bowling attack featuring Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj.

Historically, GT has had the upper hand against KKR, winning 2 out of 4 encounters, with one match washed out. The Eden Gardens pitch has been controversial this season, with KKR initially wanting more spin-friendly conditions. While adjustments have been made, the surface is expected to favor spinners but still support competitive totals around 180-190. Bowling first may be advantageous due to potential dew later in the game. The upcoming KKR vs. GT clash on April 21 will test KKR's batting frailties against GT's in-form lineup.

In what proves to be a shocking development, the Cricket Governing body of Bengal, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has reportedly refused to allow senior commentators Simon Doull of New Zealand &amp; Harsha Bhogle of India from doing commentary at the iconic Eden Gardens in the remainder of Tata IPL 2025.
Must Read - <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/pbks-vs-rcb-rcb-beat-punjab-by-7-wickets-kohli-scored-a-strong-half-century/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PBKS vs RCB: RCB beat Punjab by 7 wickets, Kohli scored a strong half-century</a>
According to the news report of RevSportz, the Bengal Cricket Association wrote to the BCCI, urging them to ban Doull and Bhogle from commentating at the iconic stadium based in Kolkata. This development came just ahead of KKR's forthcoming home match versus 2022 winners Gujarat Titans (GT) on Monday.
The move of the Bengal Cricket Association to preclude Simon &amp; Harsha came after they scrutinised Sujan Mukherjee, the pitch curator of the CAB and Eden Gardens. Following the pitch row, Doull even recommended that KKR think about leaving Eden Gardens.
After losing to the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the opening match of the competition, the reigning champions KKR complained that they were not getting the wickets they wanted, which would have played to their strengths. This sparked the dispute.
The Ajinkya Rahane-led side have top-notch spinners like Sunil Narine &amp; Varun Chakaravarthy in their squad but they are not able to benefit from the Eden Gardens surface as curator Sujan Mukherjee of Eden Gardens declined to follow the franchise's lead.
Simon Doull and Harsha Bhogle had scrutinised Sujan for resisting against the three-time winners and KKR is a franchise who even pays rental fees to the CAB for using the Kolkata-based stadium (Eden Gardens) as their home-ground for IPL matches.
The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) supported Sujan Mukherjee and wrote to the Cricket governing body of India, stating that he prepared the tracks in accordance to the rules mentioned in the rulebook, which affirms that no franchise is allowed to pressure the pitch curator to prepare the pitch according to their own terms and conditions.
On Monday, when KKR plays versus Gujarat, Bhogle and Doull will not be there to commentate. It will be intriguing to observe if or not the BCCI concurs with CAB. On the 25th of May, the Eden Gardens is also slated to play host to the Tata IPL 2025 final as well.

The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has reportedly asked the BCCI to ban commentators Simon Doull and Harsha Bhogle from Eden Gardens after they criticized the pitch curator for not favoring KKR. The CAB defended the curator, stating he followed rules against franchise interference. As a result, Doull and Bhogle will miss KKR’s next match, with the BCCI’s decision pending. Eden Gardens is still set to host the IPL 2025 final.

In a surprising move, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has reportedly urged the BCCI to bar commentators Simon Doull (New Zealand) and Harsha Bhogle (India) from commentating at Eden Gardens for the remainder of IPL 2025. This decision comes after the two criticized CAB pitch curator Sujan Mukherjee for not tailoring pitches to Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) preferences, particularly after KKR’s loss to RCB in their opening match. Doull had even suggested KKR consider leaving Eden Gardens due to the issue. The CAB defended Mukherjee, stating he followed regulations that prevent franchises from influencing pitch preparation. As a result, Bhogle and Doull will be absent from commentary during KKR’s upcoming match against Gujarat Titans. The BCCI’s response remains to be seen, with Eden Gardens set to host the IPL 2025 final on May 25.

GT vs DC: Gujarat Titans registered a thrilling seven-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in Match 35 of the IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. 
After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, GT were set a challenging target of 204. In response, they chased it down in 19.2 overs, thanks to a brilliant knock by Jos Buttler and a clinical finish by Rahul Tewatia, securing a memorable win with four balls to spare.
<h2>GT vs DC Match Summary</h2>
The home team, Gujarat Titans, won the toss and chose to bowl first, unaware of the storm Delhi Capitals were about to unleash. Their batters came out all guns blazing, tearing into the powerplay with fearless strokeplay and putting the Titans on the back foot early despite an early wicket.
The momentum didn’t fade even after the second wicket in the powerplay, as the middle order kept the scoreboard ticking with brisk cameos, each batter adding fuel to the fire. However, with good starts, none of the batters played long. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202504/image_430x256_6803afe6ad21f.jpg" alt="">
The Titans looked rattled. Rashid Khan, their trusted trump card, had a forgettable outing, leaking runs and spilling catches under pressure. Though Prasidh Krishna struck back with a fiery spell, claiming four crucial wickets, his efforts were overshadowed in the final over when Ashutosh Sharma exploded with consecutive sixes, delivering a brutal finish.
In a flurry of late fireworks, Delhi Capitals stormed past the 200-run mark, leaving the Titans with a mountain to climb. They would definitely feel they had left around 15-20 runs there. 
GT, in the chase, also lost their skipper Shubham Gill in the 10th ball. They, however, then went past the powerplay without any further damage. DC's bowling wasn't up to the mark in that phase. Kuldeep Yadav got Sai Sudharsan at 36, but Jos Buttler and Rutherford then picked up the pace in the chase. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202504/image_430x256_6803afe3b7668.jpg" alt="">
The equation was 66 required from the last 6 overs, and the in-form Jos Buttler hit Mitchell Starc for five back-to-back boundaries. The asking rate dropped below 10, and Gujarat was on the driving seat.
With just 12 runs required from the final 8 balls, they lost Rutherford. Rahul Tewatia played the next three balls, and those three were enough for him to seal the deal. He smoked an orbital SIX to Starc in the first ball of the final over and then edged the next for a four, and it was all over for Delhi Capitals. 
<h2>GT vs DC Scorecard</h2>
Delhi Capitals: 203/8 (20 overs)
Gujarat Titans: 204/3 (19.2 Overs)

Gujarat Titans (GT) pacer Ishant Sharma got involved in a war of words with Delhi Capitals' Ashutosh Sharma at the end of the nineteenth over of the first inning during the ongoing encounter between Gujarat &amp; Delhi at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday afternoon, 19 April. 
The incident took place in the over-break, ahead of the beginning of the 20th &amp; final over of Capitals' innings.

It's worth noting that the 36-year-old veteran seamer was not happy after the umpire didn't give Ashutosh out. The fast bowler felt that the Delhi batter had knocked the ball behind to the keeper in the attempt of hitting the short pitched delivery for a hook shot to the leg side boundary. 
But, the replays showed that the ball had not touched any part of Ashutosh's bat and in an attempt to cool the 36-year-old down, Ashutosh even pulled up his sleeve to show the spot where the ball had made contact with him.

Things got even more problematic for the Gujarat-based team as they were punished by the umpires for having a slow over-rate. Skipper Shubman Gill was not happy with the decision and he even argued with the umpires, citing the injury-delays. 
The team's coach Ashish Nehra was also spotted giving a lot of signals &amp; instructions from the Gujarat dugout as the home side brought Sherfane Rutherford on the field as the impact sub for Ishant

During the IPL match on April 19, 2025, at Narendra Modi Stadium, Gujarat Titans' Ishant Sharma clashed with Delhi Capitals' Ashutosh Sharma after a disputed non-dismissal call. Ishant thought Ashutosh edged a ball, but replays showed it hit his arm. Gujarat faced further issues with a slow over-rate penalty, leading to captain Shubman Gill's objections and coach Ashish Nehra's active involvement. Sherfane Rutherford replaced Ishant as an impact substitute.

During the IPL match on April 19, 2025, at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat Titans' pacer Ishant Sharma engaged in a heated exchange with Delhi Capitals' batsman Ashutosh Sharma at the end of the nineteenth over. The altercation occurred after Ishant, believing Ashutosh had edged a short-pitched delivery to the wicketkeeper, was frustrated when the umpire did not give the batsman out. Replays confirmed the ball had not touched Ashutosh's bat, and Ashutosh showed Ishant the spot on his arm where the ball had hit to defuse the situation. Tensions escalated for Gujarat Titans as they were penalized for a slow over-rate, prompting an argument from captain Shubman Gill, who cited injury-related delays. Coach Ashish Nehra was seen actively signaling from the dugout, and Gujarat introduced Sherfane Rutherford as an impact substitute for Ishant Sharma.
