Hardik Pandya, MI skipper, was cheaply dismissed once again by spinner R Sai Kishore of GT in the IPL 2025 edition in Mumbai on Tuesday, May 6. Pandya ran only once before he finally messed up a sweep shot, sending the ball into the hands of Shubman Gill, who ran back from first slip to complete an extraordinary catch. This dismissal continued the inconsistent form of Pandya in IPL 2025, with this being his third single-digit score in the tournament. His top performance to date in this season was against Rajasthan Royals (RR), where he stayed unbeaten on 48 off just 23 balls.

MI had lost their openers early, Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma. However, Jacks and Suryakumar Yadav steadied things with a good 71-run stand for the third wicket. But again, GT's spin attack took hold. Sai Kishore and Rashid Khan got together in one over to dismiss the set batsmen. Jacks fell for 53, sweep-driving to Sai Sudharsan at deep backward square, while Yadav, who went for 35, attempted to clear the long-off boundary but failed to get enough height.

GT had won the toss and had elected to bowl first. Despite being fit and available, Kagiso Rabada was missed out both from the starting XI and among the impact players.
