Gujarat Titans take on Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad in a Monday evening IPL 2026 fixture. The sides arrive in very different form.
Gujarat lost to Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals early on but have won three in a row against Delhi, Lucknow and Kolkata, climbing to fourth. In the latest win they restricted KKR to 180 and chased it in 19.4 overs. Shubman Gill has 251 runs, including a match-winning 86, and has a strong record in Ahmedabad. Jos Buttler is back in form and has a good record against Mumbai, while Sai Sudharsan is still searching for rhythm. Prasidh Krishna leads the attack with 11 wickets, with Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj, Ashok Sharma and Kagiso Rabada alongside him.
Mumbai won their opener against KKR but have since lost four in a row and are ninth. Punjab Kings chased 196 in 16.3 overs against them last time out. Quinton de Kock hit an unbeaten 112 in that game, and Sherfane Rutherford and Naman Dhir have both made recent fifties. Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya have yet to deliver big scores. Jasprit Bumrah is economical but still without a wicket this season, and AM Ghazanfar has shown promise.
Our preview picks Gujarat Titans, on the strength of their recent form.
