Mumbai Indians have not had a good start in IPL 2025. For the second time in a row, they have faced defeat in the first two matches of the season. First, on March 23, Chennai Super Kings defeated them at Chepauk. After this, on March 29, the Gujarat Titans team crushed them by 36 runs. GT has defeated MI for the fourth consecutive time in Ahmedabad. So far they have not lost even once on this ground. Even 4 captains together could not make Mumbai win on this ground. On this ground, Shubman Gill alone overshadowed all the captains. Now you must be wondering how there can be 4 captains in a team and how Gill defeats them together. So let us answer this.

4 captains lost to Gill

Hardik Pandya is captaining Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025. Rohit Sharma, who is in his team, captains the Indian team. He is in command of the Test and ODI team, while Mitchell Santner leads New Zealand. Apart from this, Suryakumar Yadav has also been given the responsibility of captaining India's T20 team. In this way, apart from its captain, Mumbai's team also has 3 captains of international teams.

But no captain could do anything in front of Gill. Everyone had to accept defeat in the home of Gujarat Titans. However, if seen, Gujarat's team also has two more international captains. Rashid Khan captains Afghanistan's T20 team. At the same time, Jos Buttler has been the ODI and T20 captain for England. He resigned from his post after losing the Champions Trophy.

All MI captains were flops.

Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and chose to bowl first. After this, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill gave his team a stormy start. He played an innings of 38 runs in 27 balls and scored 66 runs in the powerplay along with Sai Sudarshan. On the other hand, Pandya did wonders with the ball and took 2 wickets for 29 runs in 4 overs. But he proved to be a complete flop with the bat. He scored only 11 runs in 17 balls.

While opening, Rohit Sharma became the victim of Mohammad Siraj after scoring 8 runs in 4 balls. Talking about Suryakumar Yadav, he showed some fight and scored 48 runs in 28 balls but his innings were not enough to win. Mumbai's team faltered due to his dismissal in the middle. Apart from this, Mitchell Santner gave 25 runs in 3 overs while bowling. However, he scored 18 runs in 9 balls with the bat but then it was too late. In this way Mumbai had to face defeat by 36 runs. After this defeat, they have gone to number 9 in the points table.
