    IPL 2025: Hardik Returns As Mumbai Indians Elect To Bowl First Against Gujarat Titans

    By IANS News March 29, 2025 • 19:22 PM View: 643
    Narendra Modi Stadium: Hardik Pandya is back to lead the Mumbai Indians as the five-time champions won the toss and elected to bowl first against Gujarat Titans in ninth match of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday.

    Both teams are coming off a defeat in their respective opening games and a win for one of the two sides will get them to open their account in the points table. Hardik had missed MI’s season opener against Chennai Super Kings due to a one-match ban he copped for maintaining a slow over rate last year.

    Apart from Hardik, spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman is also included in the playing eleven, with Robin Minz, Will Jacks and Vignesh Puthur, who took 3-32 against CSK on debut, making way. “The simple reason is we don't know how the pitch will play, plus the dew factor. It's always better to bat second on the black-soil pitch. Only last year we played on black soil, otherwise we have been playing on red soil. Last year, we had the game under wraps but couldn't finish it.”
