In the process, the Titans claimed their first win of the season to enter the top four of the points table. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians fell further down in the points table by suffering back-to-back losses.
Batting first, the Titans posted an impressive 196/8 on a surface which had a bit of extra bounce in it for the pacers. The bowlers who hit the deck hard got a lot of purchase from the surface. The Titans pacers realised it and targeted good and shorter lengths, compared to MI's pacers, who focused on swinging the ball early in the innings.

Key Moments from GT vs MI, Match 9 of IPL 2025
1. Titans top order scores in bulk
Much like the previous game against Punjab Kings, the Titans' top order did the heavy job in terms of scoring runs for their team. Skipper Shubamn Gill scored 38 off 27, which included four fours and a si, while Jos Buttler played a fine knock as he scored 39 off 24 with the help of five fours and a six. Sai Sudarshan's 63 off 41 was highly important in the context of the match, as it helped his team score more than a par score.
2. GT collapse from 179/3 to 196/8
While the top three were brilliant, the Titans witnessed a collapse towards the end of the innings. The home side was 179/3 after 17.5 overs and seemed good to post beyond 200. But in the last 13 balls, the hosts lost five wickets for just 17 runs as Mumbai Indians closed out the innings well.
3. Mohammed Siraj's new-ball spell
The hosts got a brilliant start, as Mohammed Siraj claimed two wickets with the new ball. The star bowler delivered a peach of a delivery to get rid of Rohit Sharma, one of the key wickets of the opponents. He then got rid of Ryan Rickleton and put his team in a firm position in the game.

@StarSportsIndia6295. Prasidh Krishna's match-winning spell
The bowler who made a lot of difference to MI's innings was Prasidh Krishna. The right-arm pacer mixed his slower ones and hit the deck hard. He used shorter deliveries and the good-length deliveries well and deceived the batters well. Prasidh got important wickets of Tilak Varma and Suryakumar.
