Gujarat Titans v Mumbai Indians

Mumbai need 42 from 28, and for the first time since the powerplay the chase belongs to them. Gujarat 189 looked a fraction under par on a true Narendra Modi Stadium surface, and Suryakumar Yadav has spent six overs proving it. He is 53 from 30, unbeaten, and has not played a false shot against spin. The turning point was not a boundary. It was Shubman Gill at cover, cutting off a routine second and running out Naman Dhir with a direct hit, a wicket Gujarat had not earned with the ball. But the bowling has thinned. With Siraj and Rabada bowled out, Gill handed Sai Sudharsan an over of part-time legspin and Yadav took 13, including an inside-out six that dropped the required rate below nine. Tilak Varma has been the quieter half of the stand, 24 from 17, content to feed Yadav the strike. Rashid Khan has two balls left in this over and four in hand. Watch the next session for a single question: can Gujarat find any way to keep Yadav off strike.
