The ninth game of the IPL 2025 has been scheduled for the Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians (GT vs MI) match. Narendra Modi Stadium (Ahmedabad) will host this fixture on Saturday evening (March 29).

IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans started with a close defeat in a high-scoring game against PBKS

Both teams started their new season with a defeat, as they are ready for their second game of the season. The IPL 2022 champions Gujarat Titans hosted Punjab Kings in their first IPL 2025 match, where Punjab Kings scored 243/5, and Titans replied with 232/5, as the home batters’ inspiring battles were just short of the target.

IPL 2025, Match 9: MI captain Hardik Pandya returning

Talking about the playing XI changes for the Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians match, MI captain Hardik Pandya is set to return after completing his one-match suspension, which he was punished for recording three slow-over offences last season, including recording the last one in MI’s last game of the season. Otherwise, we aren’t expecting any big changes in both squads, except for any sudden fitness issues.
