Hardik Pandya Stats and Records Against GT: GT vs MI IPL 2025

At 7:30 PM IST tonight, the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Titans (GT) will square off in Match 56 of the TATA IPL 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. This encounter carries extra significance for Hardik Pandya, MI’s skipper, as he prepares to face his former franchise—the team he led to a fairytale title victory in IPL 2022.

The game is expected to be exciting because both teams are captained by young, talented players, Shubman Gill (GT) and Hardik Pandya (MI). But all eyes will be on Hardik, who has yet to make a significant impact against GT since his return to MI.

Hardik Pandya stats against Gujarat Titans

Hardik’s performances against GT have been underwhelming so far. Here’s a breakdown of his numbers:

Stat	Value

Batting Average	11.00
100s	0

What Do These Numbers Indicate?

Hardik has had trouble at bat, scoring a maximum of 11 runs and only 22 runs in two games. His average of 11.00 suggests he has been dismissed cheaply.
Although he has been reasonably effective with the ball, taking two wickets at a best of 2/29, his bowling average of 29.5 suggests that he has been costly.
In the field, he has been sharp, taking 2 catches, proving his utility as an all-rounder.
The negative average difference (-18.49) highlights his struggles to balance his contributions against GT.

What Can We Expect Tonight?

Hardik Pandya thrives under pressure, and tonight’s clash presents the perfect opportunity for him to silence his critics.

Batting Impact: Hardik is due for a big innings, and there’s no better stage than facing his former team at the Wankhede, where he enjoys strong crowd support.
Bowling Role: His medium-pace could be crucial in containing GT’s power-hitters, especially in the middle overs.
Leadership Edge: With MI on a 6-match winning streak, Hardik’s tactical acumen will be tested against Shubman Gill’s GT, who are also fighting for a playoff spot.

Will Hardik Finally Step Up Against GT?

History may not be on his side, but Hardik has a habit of rising to the occasion. If he delivers with either bat or ball tonight, it could tilt the match in MI’s favor and strengthen their bid for a top-two finish.

Fans will be hoping for a fiery performance from their captain—one that not only secures a win but also settles an old score against his former franchise.
