Defending champions Gujarat Titans defeated Mumbai Indians by a huge margin of 62 runs in the IPL 2023 Qualifier-2 match at Ahmedabad venue. Rohit Sena’s hopes have been dashed. In a way, I was impressed with the all-round show. Showed dominance in all categories. Losing the toss, Rohit Sharma chose to field first became a minus point.

After that, the fight with Mumbai Indians, who entered the ring with a huge target of 234 runs, was in vain. The pile collapsed due to the Gujarat bowlers. 171 runs in 18.2 overs. Surya Kumar Yadav scored 61 runs. He faced 38 balls and hit 7 fours and 2 sixes. Tilak Varma was furious. He hit 5 fours and 3 sixes off just 14 balls. He scored 43 runs.
