As IPL 2026 is getting more exciting, all eyes are now on the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for Match 30 between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI). This “Western Derby” has become a big and strategic rivalry and both teams are coming in with very different forms.
Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill are looking strong right now. After a slow start, they’ve bounced back with three wins in a row. Gill has been in great touch scoring a half-century in each of those matches.
Their bowlers especially Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan have also been performing well making Ahmedabad a tough place for visiting teams.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians are going through a rough phase. Even though Quinton de Kock scored a brilliant unbeaten 112 in their last match against Punjab Kings the team Mumbai Indians has lost four games in a row.
Captain Hardik Pandya will be worried especially about Jasprit Bumrah, who hasn’t taken a single wicket in five matches which is very unusual for him and has made their bowling look weak.
