Ahmedabad, March 24

Mumbai Indians maintained the tradition of losing their opening match of the IPL since 2012 as Gujarat Titans snatched an improbable six-run victory in a thrilling match here today.

While Jasprit Bumrah bowled a couple of terrific spells to restrict Gujarat Titans to 168/6, MI lost their way after Rohit Sharma’s dismissal. MI ended at 162/9 as things went downhill when all they needed was 43 runs off the last five overs with seven wickets in hand.

Spencer Joshnson (2/25) and Umesh Yadav (2/32) were brilliant bowling the 19th and 20th overs, respectively, but Hardik Pandya relegating himself to No. 7 in the batting order is something that would need explanation.

Brief scores: Gujarat Titans: 168/6 (Sudharsan 45, Gill 31; Bumrah 3/14); Mumbai Indians: 162/9 (Brevis 46, Rohit 43; Mohit 2/32, Spencer 2/25).
