In this way, Mumbai Indians became the team with the biggest win in terms of runs in IPL 2026. Tilak had an important contribution in this victory of Mumbai.

In response, Gujarat Titans team could not even play the full 20 overs in front of Mumbai’s strong bowling and were reduced to 100 runs in just 15.5 overs.
Jumped in the points table
This is the first win for Mumbai Indians this season after 4 consecutive defeats. With this victory, Mumbai has taken a huge leap from 10th to 7th position. Captain Hardik Pandya looked very happy with this spectacular victory of Mumbai. After defeating Gujarat for the first time at the Narendra Modi Stadium, captain Hardik Pandya said that winning away from home is always a challenge. The Ahmedabad ground has not been very lucky for Mumbai Indians, so this win is very satisfying.
Praising Tilak, Pandya said that with the talent that Tilak has, he does not need much advice. The time had come for him to come on the field and perform well. This was very important for the team, for Tilak and for Mumbai Indians.
Big thing said about Bumrah
On Jasprit Bumrah starting the bowling, Hardik said that he saw that many people were asking why Bumrah was not bowling from the first over. It’s just that Jasprit Bumrah is so special that you use him only where the team needs him, and not when you are opening. People should also know that Bumrah has opened the bowling only eight or nine times in the IPL. Today we realized that we really want to make an impact with the new ball, and there is no one better than him.
