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).

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
