Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad: GT’s Fortress
GT has a perfect 4-0 record against MI at their home ground in Ahmedabad. Every single match played at the Narendra Modi Stadium has gone GT’s way. The pitch in Ahmedabad offers batting-friendly conditions that GT’s top order has exploited well.
Shubman Gill is the leading run-scorer at this venue in IPL history with over 1,000 runs. He reached this milestone in just 20 innings, making him the second-fastest to 1,000 IPL runs at a single ground, behind only Chris Gayle at Bengaluru. His career-best 129 also came at this venue against MI.
GT’s bowling has also clicked at home. Mohit Sharma’s 5/10 against MI in 2023 remains the best bowling performance at this ground. Rashid Khan’s spin has been difficult for MI batters to score off on the slower Ahmedabad surface.
Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

Memorable Matches in the Rivalry
Some matches stand out for their impact, records, or individual brilliance.
| Year | Context | Result | Standout Performer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Mohit Sharma’s spell | GT won by 55 runs | Mohit Sharma (5/10) |
| 2023 | SKY century at Wankhede | MI won by 27 runs | Suryakumar Yadav (103*) |
| 2023 | Qualifier 2 | GT won by 62 runs | Shubman Gill (129) |
| 2025 | DLS thriller at Wankhede | GT won by 3 wkts | Shubman Gill (43) |
| 2025 | Eliminator at Mullanpur | MI won by 20 runs | Rohit Sharma (81) |
The 2023 Qualifier 2 is the signature match of this rivalry so far. Shubman Gill’s 129 off 60 balls took the game away from MI inside the first 15 overs. He smashed 14 fours and 5 sixes. At 23, he became the youngest player to score a century in IPL playoffs. The 62-run win was GT’s biggest margin of victory in any match against MI.
On the bowling side, Mohit Sharma’s 5/10 in the 2023 league stage match was devastating. He took 5 wickets while giving away only 10 runs in his 4 overs. MI’s batting lineup had no answer to his cutters and slower deliveries. It stands as one of the finest bowling spells in IPL history.
The 2025 Eliminator showed MI’s playoff pedigree. Despite trailing in the overall record, MI’s big-game experience came through. Rohit Sharma set the tone with 81, and Jasprit Bumrah’s middle-overs spell choked GT when they needed runs the most.
Key Players Across the Rivalry
Here are the Key Players in the Rivalry:
Top Run-Scorers
| Batter | Team | Runs | Best Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shubman Gill | GT | 274+ | 129 |
| Suryakumar Yadav | MI | 200+ | 103* |
| Rohit Sharma | MI | 125+ | 81 |
| David Miller | GT | 118+ | N/A |
| Sai Sudharsan | GT | 102+ | 80 |
Shubman Gill leads all batters in this rivalry with 274+ runs. He averages 36.76 against MI and has a strike rate of 148.90. His 129 in the 2023 Qualifier 2 remains the highest individual score in GT vs MI encounters. He has also crossed 1,000 IPL runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium, a ground where GT have played most of their home matches against MI.
Suryakumar Yadav has been MI’s most reliable batter in this matchup. His unbeaten 103 at the Wankhede in 2023 remains the only century by an MI batter against GT. He plays unorthodox shots against spin and pace, making him hard to plan for.
Sai Sudharsan emerged as a key GT batter in IPL 2025. He scored a quickfire 63 in the league stage match and followed it up with 80 in the Eliminator. His consistency at the top of the order gave GT a solid platform in both games.
Top Wicket-Takers
| Bowler | Team | Wickets | Best Figures |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mohit Sharma | GT | 10 | 5/10 |
| Rashid Khan | GT | 10 | 4/30 |
| Piyush Chawla | MI | 6 | N/A |
| Jasprit Bumrah | MI | 3+ | 3/14 |
Mohit Sharma and Rashid Khan share the top spot with 10 wickets each against MI. Mohit’s 5/10 in the 2023 league stage match is the standout spell. His ability to bowl cutters and slower balls on the Ahmedabad pitch made him nearly unplayable.
Rashid Khan brings a different threat. His leg-spin and googlies have troubled MI’s middle order across multiple seasons. He picked up 4/30 in one of the 2023 matches, keeping MI batters guessing throughout his spell. With a strike rate of 233.33 in batting against MI, Rashid has also contributed quick runs lower down the order.
For MI, Jasprit Bumrah has been their best bowler in this matchup. His economy rate against GT is excellent, and his death-bowling skill was on full display in the 2025 Eliminator. Bumrah’s four-run 14th over in that match proved to be the game-changing moment. His ability to deliver yorkers under pressure makes him MI’s biggest asset.
Shifting Momentum: Recent Form
GT won 5 of the first 7 meetings between the two teams. This dominance included wins in league matches, a playoff match, and victories across different conditions. MI only managed 2 wins during this stretch.
But MI’s 20-run win in the 2025 Eliminator showed they can beat GT in a big-pressure game. Knockout matches test temperament, and MI’s playoff experience gave them an edge when it mattered most.
| Period | GT Wins | MI Wins | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-2024 (5 matches) | 3 | 2 | Balanced |
| 2025 (3 matches) | 2 | 1 | GT leads |
| Overall (8 matches) | 5 | 3 | GT leads |
