Gujarat Titans (GT) take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in match nine of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which boasts a capacity of 132,000 spectators. Both teams are searching for their first victory of the season and will be eager to get off the mark.
Here are the top three key battles to watch out for in today’s GT vs MI clash
Shubman Gill vs Trent Boult
Shubman Gill is a key batter in GT’s lineup and got off to a promising start in the first match, scoring 33 off 14 balls, but he couldn’t capitalise further. His battle against Trent Boult will be one to watch, as the left-arm pacer has impressive numbers against him. In T20 cricket, Gill has managed just 59 runs off 58 balls against Boult at a strike rate of 101.7 while being dismissed once.
Suryakumar Yadav vs Kagiso Rabada
Suryakumar Yadav is a vital player in MI’s middle order, but he faces a tough challenge against Kagiso Rabada, who has enjoyed success against him. Rabada has dismissed Suryakumar four times in T20 cricket, while the MI batter has scored 129 runs at a strike rate of 179.17.
Rohit Sharma vs Rashid Khan
Rohit Sharma had a forgettable start to this IPL season, getting out for a duck in MI’s opening match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). His task won’t get any easier as he faces one of the world’s best spinners, Rashid Khan. The Afghan leg-spinner has troubled Rohit in the past, dismissing him four times in T20s while conceding just 55 runs.
