MI vs GT, 57th Match at Mumbai, IPL, May 12 2023 - Match Result

Thanks for joining us. Look forward to your company on Saturday's double-header. This is Karthik and Shashank saying goodbye.

ShahSafeer: "A stunning catch, one of the best bowling figures, and one of the best innings of the tournament, is there anything that Mr Rashid can't do? He should be given the title of Mr. T20."

Rohit Sharma: Interesting game, we needed those two points. Batting first, to post score and defend like that, not what happened towards the end, was pleasing. Conditions got tough for the bowlers with a lot of dew coming in, so it was a great effort from them. Honestly, it's just the confidence Surya has got. At the start of the tournament, we were debating if we need a left-right combination, Surya said no, 'I want to go in'. That's the kind of confidence he brings and it rubs off on the guys who are batting with him. There's no looking back. Good thing is every game he's wanting to start fresh. Which is nice for a cricketer to think like that. Sometimes you can sit back and be very proud about it, but that's not the case with him.

Suryakumar Yadav is the Player of the Match for his 103 off 49 balls. "Can say that [my best T20 innings]. Most importantly we batted first, at the meeting we decided we'll keep the same tempo as we do when we're chasing 200 plus. There was a lot of dew even after just 7-8 overs, one side was 75-80 metres, so I was prepared for scooping over third man or flicking over square leg. I wasn't thinking of going straight. There's a lot of practice that goes behind [my 360-degree game], so when I come out to the middle, I am very clear in my mind."

Manu Ajmani: "I know the MoM usually goes to a player from the winning side (SKY in this case) and it will be no different today but Rashid is an equal contender after his heroics with both ball and bat and also a catch off his own bowling. What a treat to watch his all round performance! The guy made sure Titans' NRR is not affected."

Hardik Pandya: Felt like only Rashid Khan turned up from our team, batted and bowled incredibly well. We don't have to try much, as a group overall we weren't there in any department. Didn't have clear plans, bowlers didn't execute. I felt we gave 25 runs extra. We were far from winning this game but because of Rashid, we ensured there wasn't a big dent to our NRR. People have spoken enough about SKY, one of the best batters in T20 cricket. Really tough to set fields for him. You saw what can happen if you don't execute your plans. He kept putting pressure on our bowlers.

11.40pm Phew, my fingers need some rest. Who would've thought we'd go the full distance when Titans were 103 for 8. Mumbai Indians don't have much of an NRR advantage thanks to Rashid Khan's knock, but they'll take the two points that now has them firmly in the top four. They're currently third and still in with a great opportunity of finishing in the top-two. A win for the Titans would've emphatically sealed their playoff spot, but they're still fairly comfortable with eight wins in 12 games.

Elsewhere, India's boxers had their best-ever result at the men's World Championships, with Deepak Bhoria, Nishant Dev and Mohammed Hussamuddin all confirming bronze medals, after bowing out in the semifinal stage. They joined only ten men to ever win Worlds medals for India.
