Indeed, the Mumbai Indians may have committed a blunder by opting for Mujeeb Ur Rahman over Will Jacks in their fight against Gujarat Titans. The result is harrowing, as MI lacked the ability to chase runs and ended with their second loss in a row in IPL 2025 against Shubman Gill's side, which now resides as his second defeat at the Narendra Modi Stadium-a loss by 36 runs. MI has also omitted young spinners Vignesh Puthur from the playing XI. Mujeeb bowled just two expensive overs, conceding 28 runs and picking up a single wicket before being taken off. He didn't even bat during MI's chase, further raising questions about his selection for the team. Had Jacks played for MI, he could have had a heavy influence on this match. Not only would he have matched Mujeeb's bowling impact, but he would have also added stability to MI's batting. Of note, against Gujarat Titans in 2024, Jacks scored the fifth-fastest IPL century at the same venue.

Dropping him in favor of Mujeeb felt like a missed chance. Vignesh Puthur's exclusion was another puzzling decision. The Kerala spinner had impressed on his IPL debut in Chennai, where he had picked up three wickets. With a black-soil pitch for the proceedings, he might have turned out to be an asset in Ahmedabad. Puthur might have actually provided an x-factor for MI's bowling unit, given the pacers fared well on Saturday.
