MI Crush GT by 99 Runs as Tilak Varma’s Century Lights Up IPL 2026

Match Report:

The Mumbai Indians (MI) returned to winning ways in spectacular fashion, dismantling the Gujarat Titans (GT) by a massive 99-run margin in Match 30 of IPL 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

After being put in to bat by GT skipper Shubman Gill, MI suffered an early collapse courtesy of Kagiso Rabada’s fiery spell. The South African pacer rocked the top order, finishing with impressive figures of 3/33.

However, the momentum shifted dramatically thanks to a brilliant partnership between Tilak Varma and Naman Dhir. Dhir contributed a crucial 45 off 32 balls, stabilizing the innings under pressure.

The spotlight, though, belonged entirely to Tilak Varma. The young left-hander delivered a breathtaking performance, smashing his maiden IPL century—101* off just 45 balls. His explosive innings, featuring 8 fours and 7 sixes at a staggering strike rate of 224.44, powered MI to a formidable total of 199/5.

In response, Gujarat Titans never found their footing. Jasprit Bumrah struck on the very first ball, setting the tone for a dominant bowling display.

Washington Sundar showed brief resistance with 26 off 17 balls, but the rest of the batting lineup faltered. Captain Shubman Gill also had an off day, scoring just 14.

Mumbai’s bowlers delivered a clinical performance:

Ashwani Kumar starred with 4/24

Mitchell Santner picked up 2/16

Allah Ghazanfar added 2/17

GT were eventually bowled out for just 100 in 15.5 overs, sealing a commanding 99-run victory for MI.
