In the match against Mumbai Indians, Shubman Gill's performance with the bat was disappointing, as he scored only 1 run and was LBW out by fast bowler Trent Boult. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya remained unbeaten, scoring 22 runs in 9 balls with the help of three sixes. However, his bowling was less impressive, conceding 37 runs in 3 overs.
After the loss to Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans' players and support staff were visibly emotional. Head coach Ashish Nehra's son, Aarush, was seen crying in the stands. Even Shubman Gill's sister, Shahneel Gill, couldn't hold back her tears.
