Gujarat Titans dominated the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. Hardik's brigade thrashed Rohit's Paltan by 55 runs in a one-sided fashion. Batting first, the Gujarat batsmen created a ruckus and posted their biggest total in the IPL on the board. After this, the bowlers of the team also appeared in full form and they stopped the five-time champion Mumbai on a score of just 152 runs.
Gujarat made the biggest total
In batting, Shubman Gill added color and played a fiery inning of 56 runs in 34 balls. At the same time, Abhinav Manohar and David Miller also thrashed the Mumbai bowlers fiercely. In bowling, Afghanistan's spin duo of Noor Ahmed and Rashid Khan did the work of destroying Mumbai's batting order in a brilliant manner.
However, the biggest turning point of this match was the stormy partnership of Abhinav Manohar and David Miller, due to which Gujarat managed to set a mountain-like target.
Abhinav and Miller's partnership did wonders
The Gujarat team had lost four wickets on the score of 101. Batsmen like Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill had returned to the pavilion and Mumbai's bowlers looked to dominate. In such a situation, young batsmen Abhinav Manohar and Miller took the responsibility of sailing Gujarat's boat.
Both added 71 runs for the fifth wicket playing in an explosive manner. Miller scored 46 runs in 22 balls at an unmatched strike rate of 209, while Abhinav hit 42 runs in 21 balls. This partnership of Abhinav and Miller gave the pace to Gujarat's innings, due to which the team was able to cross 200.
