<p>Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2025 campaign has started on a disappointing note. Despite the return of regular captain Hardik Pandya, the five-time champions suffered their second consecutive defeat.</p>
<p>In the match held in Ahmedabad on Saturday, Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans defeated Mumbai by 36 runs. From team selection to execution, nothing went right for MI.</p>
<p>Hardik’s decisions regarding the playing XI backfired, while both the batting and bowling departments failed to perform. This loss has also caused major changes in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 points table table.</p>
<h3>RCB maintains top spot</h3>
<p>Rajat Patidar-led Royal Challengers Bangalore continues to dominate the IPL 2025 points table. With two wins in two matches, RCB remains the only team with a perfect record so far. Lucknow Super Giants hold the second spot with one win and one loss in their two matches. Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings, each with two points, complete the top four.</p>
<p>Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad occupy the fifth and sixth spots, respectively. Kolkata Knight Riders sit at seventh, followed by Chennai Super Kings at eighth. Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals remain winless and are at the bottom of the table.</p>
<p>With the tournament still in its early phase, teams will be eager to bounce back and improve their standings in the upcoming matches.</p>
