Gujarat Titans (GT) will be eager to continue their winning momentum as they take on a struggling Mumbai Indians (MI) side in Match 30 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 20.

GT have picked up form at the right time in the tournament, heading into this clash on the back of three consecutive victories. Led by Shubman Gill, the side looks well-balanced across departments, with both their batting and bowling units delivering impactful performances. Currently placed sixth on the points table, Gujarat will be aiming to build on this momentum and push themselves into the top half of the standings.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians have endured a tough phase in the competition, having suffered four straight defeats. The five-time champions have struggled to find the right combination, with inconsistency in both batting and bowling hurting their campaign. As they sit ninth on the table, MI will be desperate to bounce back and keep their playoff hopes alive.

The Gujarat Titans’ batting line-up is a top heavy one, with Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler scoring most of their runs at the top. GT’s skipper Gill has been their best batter in IPL 2026 so far, scoring 251 runs in just four innings. He will be opening alongside Sai Sudharsan, who is also having a decent IPL so far.

At number 3, the English batter Jos Buttler plays a crucial role. After a string of low scores, Buttler has finally rediscovered his touch, scoring 201 runs in just five innings.
