Season-by-Season Timeline
Gujarat Titans’ maiden IPL campaign set the tone immediately. In their very first meeting with MI at Pune’s MCA Stadium, a Hardik Pandya masterclass — returning to his home state — saw GT edge a thriller by 5 runs. A month later, at Brabourne Stadium, Shubman Gill’s composed 63 anchored a second GT victory. MI, rebuilding after their 2021 title defence unravelled, could not find answers to GT’s balanced attack. GT went on to win the title in their debut season — the last franchise to do so was Rajasthan Royals in 2008.
2023 brought a seismic off-field twist: Hardik Pandya returned to Mumbai Indians ahead of the season. In his absence, GT remained competitive under captain Shubman Gill. The Ahmedabad encounter was a 200+ run slugfest that GT won narrowly. But MI extracted revenge at a raucous Wankhede, with Suryakumar Yadav’s pyrotechnics sealing a 6-run win. GT still reached the final for the second consecutive year, a remarkable achievement.
Hardik Pandya’s IPL 2024 captaincy of MI was turbulent — booed at grounds across India after replacing Rohit Sharma. Yet in the context of GT vs MI, Pandya delivered. MI beat GT twice — once in Ahmedabad (Rohit’s lone 2024 classic) and crucially in the Eliminator, where MI eliminated GT from the tournament. GT’s David Miller had pulled off a league-stage recovery win at Wankhede in between, keeping the head-to-head alive. The Eliminator defeat ended GT’s streak of successive final appearances.
With Shubman Gill cementing his status as GT’s heartbeat and Sai Sudharsan establishing himself as one of T20 cricket’s premier strokemakers, GT came back strongly in 2025. The Match 9 fixture — documented in detail by Cricbuzz — was a pulsating 4-run GT win at the Narendra Modi Stadium. MI hit back at Wankhede with Tilak Varma’s unbeaten 88 steering a comprehensive win. GT sealed the rubber at home in May, winning with 6 runs to spare in a 200-run battle.
IPL 2026 continued the tradition of split league-stage results, with GT winning emphatically at Ahmedabad in April (215/4 their highest score against MI) and MI taking the Wankhede contest on the back of Suryakumar Yadav’s late fireworks. The Qualifier 2 in Kolkata — with a place in the final on the line — was decided by Jasprit Bumrah’s ice-cold bowling in the death overs, giving MI a 6-run win and a spot in the final.

Frequently Asked Questions
Conclusion
The Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians timeline — spanning just five IPL seasons from 2022 to 2026 — has already generated some of the most dramatic cricket the tournament has seen. GT arrived as newcomers and immediately challenged the most storied franchise in IPL history, winning their first title in 2022 while completing a double over MI in the same campaign.
What makes this rivalry compelling is its balance of continuity and change. Hardik Pandya’s move from GT to MI became a subplot that energised both fanbase. Shubman Gill’s transformation from promising youngster to India’s Test captain has run parallel to GT’s competitive evolution. And Mumbai Indians — never truly down for long — have used their system and deep talent pipeline to push back, most recently advancing to the 2026 final at GT’s expense.
With 13 matches played and GT holding a 7-6 edge, every future encounter carries weight. The rivalry’s next chapters — deeper playoff battles, potential finals meetings, and the continuous emergence of new stars — will only add to a story that, unlike many IPL rivalries, feels genuinely unresolved.
