#GTvMI | Arghhh! Surya-TV fight hard, but GT take it home – As it happened

By Mumbai Indians

Hope y'all enjoyed our LIVE coverage. Milte hain Wankhede pe... Bye bye till then! 👋

Next up - KKR at Wankhede. Paltan, 100% attendance needed. Your support simply keeps us going!! 

That's that from today. A second successive defeat won't deter our spirits one bit as we move forward. 

11:34 PM IST: The proceedings did not go our way, but we take the positives from this contest and head towards our first home match of the season in just two days time. 

It just wasn't meant to be for Hardik today... 

11:13 PM IST: Surya departs. The asking rate is increasing and so is our heartbeat. But keep believing till the very end Paltan, our captain a.k.a Clutch God has done it time and again in the past.

11:02 PM IST: 85 needed off six overs. Surya and the Clutch God in the middle. We B.E.L.I.E.V.E.

Surya you fighter!!!! A blow on the helmet off Prasidh Krishna didn't deter his spirits! Giving it our all simply runs in MI veins, isn't it?! 🙌

SKY approaching his fifty... Paltan, LET THE CHEERS BE LOUDER AND LOUDER!!! 🔊

10:45 PM IST: Arghhhhhhhh. A gritty knock comes to an end. Tilak Varma departs following a 36-ball 39 contribution.

10:39 PM IST: 50 partnership 🆙 between TV and SKY. Whatta mature approach from the duo after early setbacks. Next stop – 100!!!

10:26 PM IST: In Surya's zone? You know exactly where it's gonna land. 👋 A cracking maximum off Ishant Sharma and we are now 69/2 at the end of eighth over. And the strategic time out is taken...

10:12 PM IST: Tilak भाऊ, review boltee! 💪 The OUT decision is reversed and the TV show continues!

A Surya दादा special that was!! A classy flick over deep backward square leg! Only such shots from now on...

10:05 PM IST: Nooooooooo, not the sight that we wish to see. Ryan Rickelton is back in the dugout. Siraj bags his second.

9:51 PM IST: #NowPlaying - The primetime TV show!! Those range of shots are simply exquisite. 📺

Aree aree aree, yeh kya ho gaya! Only a ripper could have gotten him out and sadly, Siraj produces that. 

Whatta boundary!!! In commentator's words: "Rohit is away, MUMBAI INDIANS are away" 😎

9:42 PM IST: RO and Rickelton are out in the middle, let the tod fod begin...

Admin is taking a short dinner break... BRB shortly! 🍴

9:28 PM IST: 1st innings DONE AND DUSTED - Too good bowling at the end as GT set a 197-run target for us. On to our batters to get it done...

9:17 PM IST: Phewwww, let's breathe normally for a minute. Those overs from Boulty and Chahar got us right back in the game!

Hang on... Another one bites the dust and a flurry of wickets towards the toe end of the innings. Talk about a RAAAWASSS comeback!!! 🥵

As soon as we finish a wicket update, there's another one!!! A freak runout and Rahul Tewatia heads back to pavilion 🤯 

9:11 PM IST: Boulty man, what a yorker that was to get rid of Sai Sudharsan. Left us in awe!!! Manifested a strong finish, getting a strong finish ✅ 

Last three overs to go... C'monnnn boys, ek strong finish पाहिजे!

8:53 PM IST: Wicket no. 3 for MI, Wicket no. 2 for HP and एक नंबर feeling for Paltan!!!! GT are now 146/3 in 15.3 overs.

Buttler vs Mujeeb in IPL - three dismissals in five innings! Need we say more...

8:45 PM IST: Woah, woah, woah. Just three minutes ago we hoped for a wicket and HERE IT IS! Mujeeb bags his first wicket in the iconic Blue & Gold and Jos Buttler departs. 🥳 

8:42 PM IST: Been toooo long without a wicket! 😢 Paltan, who's likely to get us the next scalp? Comments me attendance lagaao...

Baat toh barabar hai boss...

8:15 PM IST: पहिला wicket, #AalaRe! and it's our skipper who gets the better of GT skipper. Paltan, breathe a sigh of relief!!! 😎 Let's get some Hardik OP in the comments!!!

HP comes in and bowls an economical over right away. Time to build that pressure...

7:59 PM IST: Powerplay done and GT are 66/0. Don't worry Paltan, a slightly challenging start but wicket isn't far away! Chalo boys, होऊन जाऊ दे!

7:40 PM IST: Two overs - 14/0. A balanced start in Ahmedabad and we can smell a wicket already! 😌 

7:29 PM IST: Paltan, चला बोला – GANPATI BAPPA… MORRYAAAAA!!! 💙

Here’s a glimpse of aapdu PLAYING XI! 👇

One debutant for us tonight - Spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman makes his way into the Starting XI. Go well, Mujeeb भाऊ!

7:01 PM IST: Toss thai gayu! The Boys in Blue & Gold will 𝐅𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐃 first. ✌️ It's a black soil pitch this time out instead of the usual red soil. What's your take on it, Paltan?

**********

6:50 PM IST: Right then, we are just 10 minutes away from the toss. The batters went hammer and tongs in the only match here so far as the contest saw an aggregate of 475 runs in 40 overs. Are we in for another run fest? 🔥

It’s time to switch 🔛 your TV, tune in to #GTvMI and throw the remote outside your window! Don’t ask why. 😏 Well, do the same with your phones and laptops and follow the MI LIVE [minus throwing them away]... 👀
