Parthiv Patel, Gujarat Titans’ assistant and batting coach, responded strongly to a fake quote attributed to him after their match against Mumbai Indians. The fabricated quote discussed the captaincy switch from Rohit Sharma to Hardik Pandya at MI last year, suggesting that the team misses Rohit’s leadership. Parthiv debunked the false statement and sarcastically remarked about seeking impressions through lies.
In the match, Titans secured a commanding 36-run victory over Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025. They posted a formidable total of 196/7, thanks to Sai Sudharsan’s impressive half-century and contributions from Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler.
MI’s run chase faltered early, with Rohit Sharma getting out cheaply. Despite a partnership between Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma, MI couldn’t recover. Hardik Pandya’s slow innings faced criticism as MI suffered their second consecutive defeat.
This win marked GT’s first victory of the season, while MI struggled with back-to-back losses. MI will face Kolkata Knight Riders in their next match at the Wankhede Stadium.
