In just four seasons of coexistence, the rivalry between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans has produced some of the most consequential matches in modern IPL history. Gujarat Titans lead the head-to-head record 5-3 across 8 meetings — a startling imbalance given that Mumbai Indians entered this rivalry as the most decorated franchise in IPL history with five titles to their name.
What makes this fixture compelling is not merely the scoreline but the context. Three of their eight meetings have been playoff encounters — a Qualifier 2 in 2023 and an Eliminator in 2025, plus several do-or-die league-stage clashes that shaped the trajectory of entire seasons. The newest franchise in the IPL managed to establish dominance over the oldest powerhouse almost from the first ball.
All-Time Head-to-Head Record
| Metric | Mumbai Indians | Gujarat Titans |
|---|---|---|
| Matches won | 3 | 5 |
| Win percentage | 37.5% | 62.5% |
| Total meetings | 8 | 8 |
| Biggest victory (runs) | 20 runs (2025 Eliminator) | 62 runs (2023 Qualifier 2) |
| Biggest victory (wickets) | — | 3 wickets (2025, Wankhede) |
| Closest finish (runs) | 5 runs (2022, Brabourne) | 6 runs (2024, Ahmedabad) |
The numbers paint a clear picture: Gujarat Titans have won 62.5% of all encounters, and their 62-run demolition in the 2023 Qualifier 2 at Ahmedabad remains the largest margin of victory in this fixture. Mumbai Indians' three wins have all come by modest margins — 5 runs, 20 runs, and one other — suggesting they have had to fight harder for every result.

| Date | Venue | Stage | Winner | Margin | Player of the Match |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 May 2025 | New Chandigarh | Eliminator | Mumbai Indians | 20 runs | Rohit Sharma |
| 6 May 2025 | Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai | League (M56) | Gujarat Titans | 3 wickets | Shubman Gill |

| 26 May 2023 | Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad | Qualifier 2 | Gujarat Titans | 62 runs | Shubman Gill |
The recent trend is unmistakable: Gujarat Titans won four consecutive meetings between May 2023 and May 2025 before Mumbai Indians broke the streak in the 2025 Eliminator. Three of those four Gujarat Titans victories came at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad — a ground that has functioned as an impenetrable fortress for the franchise in this fixture.
Defining Moments
The 62-Run Demolition — Qualifier 2, 2023
The biggest margin of victory in this head-to-head came on the grandest stage. In the 2023 Qualifier 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat Titans dismantled Mumbai Indians by 62 runs. Shubman Gill was named Player of the Match for anchoring the Gujarat Titans innings. Mumbai Indians — chasing what should have been a competitive target — were bowled out with overs to spare. The result sent Gujarat Titans to their second consecutive IPL final (which they lost to Chennai Super Kings) while ending Mumbai Indians' season in humiliating fashion. It was a knockout playoff match, and the margin of 62 runs made it the most one-sided encounter in this rivalry's history.
The Closest Finish — League Stage, 2022
The very first meeting between these two franchises set the tone for how competitive this rivalry would become. On 6 May 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, Mumbai Indians edged Gujarat Titans by just 5 runs. Tim David delivered a match-winning performance to earn the Player of the Match award. In the context of the 2022 season, this result was significant: Gujarat Titans — in their debut season — were on their way to winning the title, finishing with 10 wins in 14 league matches. This 5-run defeat was one of only a handful of blemishes on their extraordinary maiden campaign. For Mumbai Indians, enduring the worst season in their history with just four wins, this narrow victory was a rare bright spot.
Rohit Sharma's Eliminator Masterclass — 2025
The most recent meeting — the 2025 Eliminator at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh on 30 May 2025 — produced arguably the most dramatic chapter in this rivalry. With Mumbai Indians' season on the line, Rohit Sharma delivered a Player-of-the-Match performance to seal a 20-run victory. This ended Gujarat Titans' four-match winning streak against Mumbai Indians and eliminated the Titans from the tournament. The result was poetic: the most experienced IPL captain in history knocking out one of the league's newest franchises in sudden-death playoff cricket.
Venue Split
| Venue | Meetings | Mumbai Indians Wins | Gujarat Titans Wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad | 4 | 0 | 4 |
| Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| New Chandigarh | 1 | 1 | 0 |
The venue data tells a story of total home dominance by Gujarat Titans. Across four meetings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad — the 132,000-capacity colosseum that doubles as Gujarat Titans' home ground — Mumbai Indians have never won. Not once. A 0-4 record at any single venue against any opponent is rare for a franchise of Mumbai Indians' pedigree. The losses include margins of 62 runs (2023 Qualifier 2), 36 runs (2025 league stage), and 6 runs (2024 league stage), suggesting that even when Mumbai Indians have been competitive in Ahmedabad, they have not been able to close out victories.
The picture is different on Mumbai Indians' home soil. Across 2 meetings at the Wankhede Stadium and 1 at the Brabourne Stadium, the record is 2-1 in Mumbai Indians' favour. The neutral venue meeting in New Chandigarh (2025 Eliminator) also went to Mumbai Indians. The takeaway: Gujarat Titans' 5-3 series lead is almost entirely built on Ahmedabad dominance.
Gujarat Titans' Early Era of Dominance: 2022-2024
Between their IPL debut in 2022 and the end of the 2024 season, Gujarat Titans established a remarkable record against Mumbai Indians. After losing their very first meeting in May 2022, Gujarat Titans won five of the next six encounters — a stretch that included the devastating 62-run Qualifier 2 win in 2023, a 6-run league victory in 2024, and a 36-run win in early 2025. During this window, Gujarat Titans appeared to have cracked the code against Mumbai Indians. Four of those five victories came in Ahmedabad, with crowd support and familiarity with conditions at the Narendra Modi Stadium playing a visible role. It took a sudden-death Eliminator in May 2025 for Mumbai Indians to definitively break the pattern.
The Rivalry's Place in IPL History
Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans occupies a unique space in the IPL landscape: it is the rivalry between the league's most successful historical franchise (five titles) and its most explosive new entrant (one title in their debut season of 2022, plus a runner-up finish in 2023). No other expansion team has come close to matching Gujarat Titans' immediate impact, and no other team has been as consistently troubled by them as Mumbai Indians. With only 8 meetings in the record books, this fixture remains young — and the 5-3 scoreline in Gujarat Titans' favour means there is plenty of narrative tension left. Every IPL season will add new chapters to a rivalry that, despite its short history, has already produced playoff drama, record margins, and the kind of venue-specific dominance that makes head-to-head analysis genuinely revealing.
