The mumbai Indians' incredible 12-year streak of losing their IPL first match came to an end when the gujarat Titans defeated the indians by six runs in a thrilling last-over match at the narendra modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It was the Titans' third triumph over the mumbai indians at this location as they prevailed by a slim margin of 6 runs. MI has not won their initial match since 2013. Their last victory in this match was in 2012.
 

The gujarat Titans pulled off an amazing comeback when it appeared that the cards were stacked against them. The game was an emotional rollercoaster with several momentum swings. On the other hand, the squad's play and morale dramatically improved under the energetic captaincy of Shubman Gill, who was captaining the team for the first time in the IPL. The Titans responded to Gill's rallying appeal with a disciplined and aggressive exhibition of cricket.
 

The Titans bowlers tightened their hold on the game between the 13th and 17th overs, bowling four overs at a cost of less than a run-a-ball. The Titans' thrilling last few overs, in which they took five vital wickets between the 18th and 20th overs, were set up by this outstanding bowling performance. One of the highlights was the heroic cameo of mumbai Indians' new skipper hardik pandya, who bravely took against his former squad. Pandya tried hard, hitting a big six in the last over, but his squad was unable to stop the Titans' comeback.
