His effort took MI to 199 for five after a difficult start.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>Spurred by skipper Hardik Pandya&#8217;s &#8216;hard talk&#8217; asking him to get a move-on during the strategic break after he scratched his way to 19 off 22 balls, Tilak changed gears in a flash to amass 82 off the next 23 deliveries and end on an unbeaten 101 off 45 balls.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>In reply, Gujarat Titans were bowled out for 100 in 15.5 overs. Left-arm seamer Ashwani Kumar picked 4\/24 in four overs, leading the bowling effort.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Mumbai Indians were under pressure early after Kagiso Rabada took 3\/33 in four overs, including three wickets in the powerplay.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Naman Dhir scored 45 off 32 balls, but Tilak anchored the innings, hitting seven sixes and eight fours as he recovered from a poor run of scores.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>In the second innings, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Ashwani Kumar removed GT\u2019s heavyweight top three inside the powerplay, after which the batting line-up did not recover.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>None of the Gujarat Titans batters made a significant contribution as the team folded quickly.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>That was a statement win from Mumbai Indians. If they were short on clarity and confidence earlier, this match changed that picture quite a bit. <!-- -->Tilak Varma, after a lean phase, produced his first IPL hundred. He was on 19 off 22 balls before shifting gears and making 82 off the next 23.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Before this match, Tilak had scored 43 runs in five innings. On Monday, he hit eight fours and seven sixes.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>The win, after four straight defeats, took Mumbai Indians to seventh place in the points table, but more importantly, it improved their net run rate significantly (+0.067).<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Brief scores:<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/><span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Mumbai Indians: 199\/5 in 20 overs (Tilak Varma not out 101, Naman Dhir 45; Kagiso Rabada 3\/33, Mohammed Siraj 1\/25).<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/><span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Gujarat Titans: 100 all out in 15.5 overs (Washington Sundar 26; Ashwani Kumar 4\/24, Mitchell Santner 2\/16). <\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/ipl-2026\/ipl-tilak-varma-turns-it-around-mumbai-indians-storm-ahmedabad-gujarat-titans-wiped-out-in-99-run-rout\/articleshow\/130400024.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: Tilak Varma returned to form with his maiden IPL century as Mumbai Indians ended their four-match losing streak in IPL 2026 with a 99-run win over Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Monday.Tilak finished unbeaten on 101 off 45 balls, bringing up his hundred with a boundary off the last ball of the innings.
