Hardik Pandya falls for 1 to R Sai Kishore as Shubman Gill takes a well-judged catch in MI vs GT IPL 2025 match [Watch]

Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya was dismissed by Gujarat Titans (GT) left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore in the IPL 2025 match in Mumbai on Tuesday, May 6. The all-rounder fell for just one run after top edging a ball while trying to sweep for Shubman Gill to run backward and take the catch at first slip.

The dismissal continued Pandya's mixed run of scores with the bat in IPL 2025. It was the third time he had fallen for a single-digit score in the tournament so far. Pandya's highest score in IPL 2025 came against Rajasthan Royals (RR) when he made an unbeaten 48 off 23 balls.

GT peg MI back with wickets at regular intervals

Hardik Pandya's wicket further pulled things in the favor of the Gujarat Titans, who clawed their way back into the innings. After the opening pair of Ryan Rickleton and Rohit Sharma fell cheaply, the duo of Will Jacks and Suryakumar Yadav put on 71 runs for the third wicket.

But the GT spin duo of R Sai Kishore and Rashid Khan removed both batters in the space of one over to put the brakes on the MI innings. Jacks fell to the former for 53, sweeping the ball to Sai Sudharsan stationed at the deep backward square boundary. Yadav fell to the latter for 35 after not getting sufficient distance while trying to clear the long-off boundary.

Pandya's dismissal meant that MI's lower-order had to resurrect the innings and take the five-time champions to a competitive total. GT had earlier won the toss and elected to field first. Kagiso Rabada, who was eligible for selection, was not part of the playing XI nor part of the Impact Players list.

At the time of writing, MI were 129/7 after 18 overs, with Deepak Chahar and Corbin Bosch at the crease.
