Right then, Gujarat Titans sprint back to the top of the table from P4 and Mumbai Indians have finally lost a game and their surreal run has ended in dramatic fashion. GT are probably just a win away from sealing a playoff place, whereas MI are still well and truly in the mix, especially given their Net Run Rate being pretty good. Next up, it is another crucial clash as Kolkata Knight Riders welcome Chennai Super Kings to Eden Gardens, in hopes of picking up two more points and keeping their fight alive. That game will be played on Wednesday, 7 May and will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but you can join us a lot sooner as usual. Until then, take care and goodbye!

Shubman Gill, the captain of GT, is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his knock and his overall leadership. Gill says there was a bit of chaos when they walked out to bat after the rain delay, but a win always feels good.  Mentions that the plans in the Powerplay were contrasting, and with the energy around, it almost felt like a red-ball contest. Shares that they aimed to push the tempo after the Powerplay, but the stop-start nature of the rain made rhythm hard to find. With the match going down to the final ball, he believes every single effort counts. Feels that gritty wins like these are what help teams go deep in a tournament like the IPL. On Rashid Khan’s performance, he acknowledges how difficult it is to return from injury, but credits the leg-spinner’s work ethic in the nets and feels his display in this game is a great sign for the side. As for qualification talk, he admits such thoughts can creep in, but the team remains focused on taking it one game at a time.

The Presentation ceremony...

Gerald Coetzee, one of GT's heroes at the death, is in for a chat. Mentions that he adopts a simple 'see ball, hit ball' approach. Adds that he was clearly expecting a yorker from Chahar and the bouncer caught him by surprise. Shares that he loves to play hard, and that passion shines through in his celebrations. States that it’s been a great environment in the GT camp.

Hardik Pandya, the captain of Mumbai Indians, is down for a chat. He says they fought really well with the under-par total they got, and they kept on pushing as a group, but in the end, it was a game of small margins. He says it wasn’t a 150 wicket, it was clearly somewhere around 175 kind of wicket and they were 20 odd runs short. He is proud of the way the bowlers fought and kept on hitting the right areas. He feels catches didn’t cost them but maybe the no balls kind of cost them in the end. He feels it’s a crime to bowl no balls in this format and he feels it comes back to bite. He says, the outfield wasn’t wet in the 1st innings, but throughout their bowling innings, the outfield was wet and he is not sure if it helped or not but overall, it was difficult with the rain around, but he feels they tried hard.

Earlier in the game, Shubman Gill won the toss and put Mumbai Indians into bat. It was a stellar showing with the ball from GT as they kept on picking up wickets, barring that one big stand between Suryakumar Yadav and Will Jacks. GT dropped plenty of early catches, but roared back after breaking that stand and kept MI to a meagre total of 155 runs. It was certainly Rashid Khan's best showing with the ball this season, but every bowler picked up at least a wicket.

Mumbai Indians' run of 6 consecutive wins has come to an end in dramatic fashion and in the end, they would feel that they could have pulled off a win here as well. They didn't have the runs on the board but Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah bowled superbly at the start before others let it slip in the phase after the Powerplay. Hardik Pandya had to gamble and both his big guns, Boult and Bumrah delivered, bringing MI back into the game after Will Jacks' one over had cost them the lead in terms of the DLS score. In the end, they had to come out for one over whilst being ahead in terms of DLS and Deepak Chahar simply couldn't hold his nerves. It wasn't going to be easy with the wet ball and an extra fielder inside the ring but the over bowled by Chahar was pretty ordinary as well. 

156 to win and Gujarat Titans would have taken it before a ball was played. However, they started in a shaky fashion with Sai Sudharsan getting out in the 2nd over. Then, the two stalwarts, Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler, added on a stand worth 72 runs, taking GT from a slow start into a position of promise. Things changed quickly as we had a rain stoppage and then GT lost 4 wickets in the space of less than 4 overs. They even found themselves 5 runs short of the DLS par score when there was another pause in play at the end of the 18th over. There was enough time for one over and the lower order managed to get the job done in a game, where for the first time, none of the GT's top three managed to bat until at least the 17th over. That middle order was tested but apart from Rutherford's crucial cameo, the rest didn't manage to step up in the time of need and were bailed out by the lower order.

GUJARAT TITANS GO TOP OF THE TABLE! A game that had it all! A topsy-turvy first innings that ended in GT's favour and then the rain played hide and seek in the chase before eventually bringing a halt to proceedings after the end of the 14th over. Things resumed after about 25 minutes and we got further twists in the tale as GT lost wickets in a heap. MI crept ahead in terms of DLS and it seemed like the game won't resume after the 2nd rain delay, but the stars aligned for GT, they managed to bat for one more over, needing 15 runs for the win and a boundary from Rahul Tewatia followed by a six from Gerald Coetzee sealed the deal.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT? The GT dug-out goes wild in celebration as Arshad Khan pumps his fist in the air after managing to scamper through for the decisive single and the Titans have stolen it at the very end!

Arshad Khan walks in to face the final delivery.

We are back, probably for one last time! The umpires are in their places and the MI players are spreading out on the field. Rahul Tewatia and Gerald Coetzee walk out to bat, and it will be Tewatia on strike to begin with. Deepak Chahar will be the one to bowl the decisive over. Can he defend this successfully? We shall find out. Also, MI are penalized for slow over rate and will have one less boundary-rider for this all-important over. Let's go...

UPDATE - 12.27 am IST (6.57 pm GMT, the previous day) - Well, well! We will have a resumption and there will be one over bowled at 12.30 am IST (7 pm GMT, the previous day). 147 will be the target for GT in 19 overs. As we say that, a few drops of rain have yet again started to fall. This cannot be real folks, the amount of drama we are witnessing.

UPDATE - 12.20 am IST (6.50 pm GMT, the previous day) - Visuals from Wankhede show that the covers are coming off and the drama just doesn't seem to end here. The umpires and the curators and even a few players are standing in the middle of the field, most of them hoping that the mop-up job can be completed. It will be a race against time. Stay tuned for more updates.

UPDATE - 12.11 am IST - Another update coming in from the broadcasters regarding a scenario where only one more over is able to be bowled and the cut-off time to start that would be 12.30 am IST (7 pm GMT, the previous day). GT would have to get to 147, which means 15 runs off the one over would do the job for them. Regarding the rain, it seems like it has died down a bit but even if it completely stops, there will be a bit of a mop-up job this time around.

UPDATE - Ian Bishop on air mentions that the game has to be concluded by 12.09 am IST (6.39 pm GMT, the previous day) and we are just about 15 minutes away from that mark. More news coming in and the new cut-off time is 12.25 am IST (6.55 pm GMT, the previous day). A bit of respite for GT but MI still ahead.
