11.45pm There were some great performances from Mumbai Indians. Jasprit Bumrah, back and fit and firing for MI, bowled a brilliant spell, finishing with three for 14. Rohit Sharma and Dewald Brevis got to the forties. But it's a complete team effort from Gujarat Titans that eventually comes out trumps. It was another closely-fought contest with the home team coming out on top, which has been the trend for all five games this season. That will be all from us. On behalf of Sreshth, Thilak and everyone else at ESPNcricinfo, it's Abhimanyu signing off.

11.3pm Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony.

Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill: "I think the way the boys held their nerves, and the way we bowled in the death overs, especially with the dew coming in, I thought it was special. With the dew, how the spinners bowled, they made sure we stayed in the game. It was all about putting on the pressure [on the batters]. [Mohit] has been a revelation for us since he joined us last year and hopefully he can continue his form. We just wanted them to feel under pressure. The plan was to keep building the pressure and wait for them to make a mistake. [On their total] I thought 170 was a good score but we definitely left 10-15 runs out there. Even with them, they were scoring above par but with the old ball and the pitch being slow, it's difficult to hit."

Player of the match, Sai Sudharsan: "Even in the first innings it was a little bit difficult. Dew helped them go after the bowlers but I think we pulled off a great game today. I'm not taking it as pressure, I'm just taking it as an opportunity to express myself and help my team win. After a few balls I felt it's not that kind of a wicket where you go after the ball every over. So i felt building the game was more important. I was actually a bit shocked for getting the player of the match because there were many great contributions [from the bowlers]. [On bowling plans] Taking the pace off was the plan. Even I found it difficult."


Hardik Pandya: "Obviously we back ourselves to chase those 42 runs [in the last five overs] but it was one of those days where we see the score quite less in those last five overs, we lost a bit of momentum there. It feels good to be back because this is one stadium where you can enjoy and feel the atmosphere quite lively and obviously the crowd was full and they got a good game as well. [On Tilak turning down the single to David] I think Tilak felt that was a better idea at that point of time. I completely back him. Not an issue, 13 games to go."

Debutant Spencer Johnson: "Absolutely incredible [experience]. Full house here. To get the win is very special. [On the 19th over] I think to stay calm. I had Ash [Nehra] telling me you're going to win the game. To have the backing from him and everyone else, even after going for runs in my first over, it's pretty cool. For me what works well is bowling hard lengths and keeping calm and not panicking and sticking to doing what I do well. This is easily the biggest crowd I've played in front of. I've always wanted to play cricket in india and here I am. I hope we can keep winning. Shubman is unbelievable. He sat next to me on the bus trip. He was calming me. We talked through the game. As a young captain, he's unbelievable."

Roopang : "Difference between two team is Nehraji"

Rajesh: "While everybody plays cricket, Nehra plays football. Always outside the line, passing tips ball by ball! Have not seen other coaching staff do this. Kudos!"

Ahmed: "The whole GT bowling unit is POTM in my opinion!" Indeed! it was a fantastic team effort to choke Mumbai Indians the moment they slowed down a little. Saw an opportunity and grabbed it.

11.25pm What a brilliant comeback from the Titans after Mumbai Indians looked like they were cruising to victory! Sai Kishore bowled beautifully, Rashid Khan was wicketless but economical. But Mohit Sharma with a two-wicket over changed things around before Spencer Johnson responded to an expensive first over in the IPL with two big wickets in the 19th over. The stage was set for Hardik Pandya to take his new team to victory over his old and he started the final over with a six and a four but the experienced Umesh Yadav came out on top eventually. Shubman Gill starts off his first captaincy assignment with a win over his old captain!

Afeef: "Got to commend the GT bowlers and new captain Gill for how they choked MI."

Yadav to Chawla, OUT, Straight to Rashid Khan at deep midwicket! Short ball angled across him does the trick. Piyush connected with the pull but couldn't get any elevation on it. Rashid catches it just above head height running back and Umesh Yadav is on a hat-trick!

Six, four, wicket. Nine needed off three. Brilliant final over this is turning out to be. Boos as Hardik walks off. Piyush Chawla is out in the middle now

Yadav to Pandya, OUT, And there ends Hardik's cameo! Short ball, cramping Hardik who goes for a pull and he only manages to top edge it down Tewatia's throat at long-on. He takes a rather simple catch and Hardik has to go.
