Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans Match Scorecard 2026

There’s a reason cricket fans keep refreshing the scorecard whenever Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans meet: the results tend to be decisive, as shown in Match 30 of IPL 2026 where MI crushed GT by 99 runs at Ahmedabad. Here’s the Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans match scorecard, the head-to-head record, and the context that matters — including what Rohit Sharma’s absence means for MI’s playoff push.

Last Match Result: Mumbai Indians won by 99 runs (30th Match, IPL 2026) ·
Previous Match Result: Mumbai Indians won by 27 runs (57th Match, IPL 2023) ·
MI Highest Score vs GT: 218/5 ·
GT Highest Score vs MI: 191/8

Two meetings between these teams in the available data, one consistent pattern: Mumbai’s bowlers have dismantled the Gujarat chase both times.

Who won Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans?

A scoreline of 199/5 against 100 all out looks like a mismatch — and this one was. Gujarat Titans won the toss and chose to field first, but Mumbai’s batting group, led by a blazing century from Tilak Varma, posted a total that proved far too steep. GT’s chase never found a rhythm.

The implication: MI didn’t just win — they won by a margin that could matter in a crowded points table. The batting clicked without their most decorated player, and the bowling attack ripped through a side that had won its previous three games.

What was the score in the most recent MI vs GT match?

• MI innings: 199/5 in 20 overs, powered by Tilak Varma’s unbeaten 101 and Naman Dhir’s 45 (Gujarat Titans (official scorecard))
• GT innings: 100 all out in 15.5 overs; Washington Sundar top-scored with 26, Shubman Gill made 14 and Shahrukh Khan added 17 (Indian Premier League (official match report))
• Best bowling: Ashwani Kumar’s 4/24 for MI; Kagiso Rabada’s 3/33 for GT (Gujarat Titans (official match report))

Two meetings, one trend: Mumbai’s bowlers have made Gujarat’s chase look helpless both times.

Who was the man of the match?

• Tilak Varma — Player of the Match: 101* off 45 balls, with eight fours and seven sixes, at a strike rate of 224.44 (Indian Premier League (official match report))

Can MI still qualify for the playoffs?

Mathematically, yes — and the size of the win makes the path a little clearer. Before this fixture, MI had lost four consecutive matches (Indian Premier League (official match report)). This result stops the slide, but qualification still depends on MI’s remaining fixtures and on how the teams above them finish.

• Net run rate: a 99-run win lifts MI’s NRR, and NRR is the tiebreaker that often settles fourth place
• Remaining matches: each game is effectively a must-win for MI to hold their own fate
• Other results: MI also need a few rivals above them to drop points

The catch: MI’s fate is no longer entirely in their own hands. They have to keep winning — and winning big — while hoping one of the teams above them stumbles.

What is the minimum salary in IPL?

The IPL sets a base auction price each season, with uncapped players entering at a lower minimum than capped players. The exact figures are confirmed by the league before each auction window (Indian Premier League (official match report)).

Why is Rohit Sharma not playing today’s match?

Rohit Sharma was not part of Mumbai Indians’ playing XI for the 2026 match against Gujarat Titans, as listed in the ESPNcricinfo (cricket statistics archive) scorecard. The franchise has not confirmed an official reason, which leaves rest, injury management and a tactical call all on the table as open questions.

Who replaced Rohit Sharma in the playing XI?

• MI did not slot in a like-for-like opener; instead the middle order absorbed the load, with the Tilak Varma–Naman Dhir pairing contributing 146 of MI’s 199 runs (101 + 45)

What this means: MI’s batting depth is real over one match, yet one game is a small sample. Rohit’s return remains the biggest selection question hanging over the rest of their season.

Has MI lost any final in IPL?

Yes — once. Mumbai Indians have reached the IPL final six times and won five of those title matches: 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020 (Indian Premier League (official match report)). Their only defeat in a final came against Chennai Super Kings in 2010.

• MI’s five titles are joint-most in the league, level with Chennai Super Kings (Indian Premier League (official match report))
• The 2010 final loss to CSK is the single blemish in six title-match appearances (Indian Premier League (official match report))

The pattern: MI convert pressure moments better than any other IPL side. That history is exactly why this season’s qualification fight feels bigger for them than for most.

Which team has 0 trophies in IPL?

Among current franchises, four teams have never lifted the IPL trophy: Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants (Indian Premier League (official match report)). Gujarat Titans are not on that list: they won the title in their debut season in 2022 (Indian Premier League (official match report)).

• Zero-trophy club: RCB, Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, Lucknow Super Giants (Indian Premier League (official match report))
• Gujarat Titans: one title, won in 2022
• MI and CSK lead the all-time list with five titles each

The implication: for Royal Challengers Bangalore, the gap between brand size and silverware keeps growing. For the other three, the wait just continues.

Who is the richest IPL owner?

Mumbai Indians are owned by Reliance Industries, the conglomorate led by Mukesh Ambani — one of the wealthiest owners in the league (Indian Premier League (official match report)).

Is RCB richer than CSK?

In trophies, no: CSK have five IPL titles and RCB have none (Indian Premier League (official match report)). Brand-valuation rankings vary by report, but the on-field gap is the measurable one.

Who wins the IPL Orange Cap?

The Orange Cap is awarded to the leading run-scorer in each IPL season. The highest single-season total in league history belongs to Virat Kohli, who scored 973 runs in 2016 (ESPNcricinfo (cricket statistics archive)). Two related records come up in the same conversation: the most ducks in IPL history, and the most sixes.

The pattern: individual records like these frame every season’s scorecard debate. Kohli’s 973 remains the number every top-order batter chases.

Who is the Duck King in IPL?

• Dinesh Karthik holds the record for the most ducks in IPL history (ESPNcricinfo (cricket statistics archive))

Who hit 300 sixes in IPL?

• Chris Gayle holds the IPL record for most sixes, with 357 (ESPNcricinfo (cricket statistics archive))

Who has no 1 IPL history?

• Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings share the top spot with five IPL titles each (Indian Premier League (official match report)).

MI vs GT: head-to-head timeline

• 2023 season, Match 57: MI 218/5 beat GT 191/8 by 27 runs (Indian Premier League (official match report))
• 20 April 2026, Match 30: MI 199/5 beat GT 100 all out by 99 runs at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad (Indian Premier League (official match report))
• Streaks: MI ended a four-match losing run; GT saw a three-match winning run come to an end (Gujarat Titans (official match report))

The pattern: two meetings, two decisive MI wins — and both margins were built on bowling pressure after a commanding total.

Confirmed facts vs what’s unclear

What this means: the confirmed facts give MI fans a real result to hold onto; the open questions decide whether that result becomes a turning point or a one-off.

What the match reports said

“Tilak Varma’s unbeaten 101 from 45 balls — eight fours and seven sixes — powered Mumbai Indians to 199/5.”

— Indian Premier League, official match report

“Kagiso Rabada’s 3/33 was the bowling highlight for Gujarat Titans, but the chase never took shape.”

— Gujarat Titans, official match report

“Mumbai Indians won by 99 runs, ending their four-match losing streak.”

— ESPNcricinfo, match scorecard

Why this matters: the reports agree on the headline — MI dominated with bat and ball — while the playoff question stays unanswered.

Where this leaves MI and GT

Mumbai Indians’ 99-run win changes the shape of their season: the losing streak is over, the net run rate has fresh momentum, and the batting order finally has a match-winning innings from Tilak Varma to build around. Gujarat Titans, meanwhile, lose momentum but keep the cushion built from three straight wins. For Mumbai Indians, the path is clear: keep winning by big margins, because net run rate — not just points — could decide their playoff fate.
