Hardik Pandya, the man who was made what he is today, will face the team that played the most poignant role in his making- the Mumbai Indians today at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. As Gujarat captain, he will be more than willing to showcase his talent with captaincy against his former teammates.
But more than that, Gujarat Titans will dearly need him to fire as a victory in this game can take the Titans straight to the Playoffs without waiting for other results in the league. Mumbai Indians would like to be a proper party pooper as they try and win every match from here on. They in fact won their last match against Rajasthan Royals.
Thus it is going to be an exciting close encounter and a mouthwatering one for the fans of both sides who will pack the Brabourne to its highest limit on May 06th, 2022.
Here's how the Playing 11 of GT and MI would look like
The Mumbai side would not look to chop and change anything as they have finally found the right Playing 11 which clicked together to get them to the victory in the last game.
The Gujarat Titans on the other hand could bring back Yash Dyal who performed brilliantly in the last two games. But his inclusion is dependent on the certainty of him being fully fit. Other than that, the Titans too don’t need to make any major changes in their Playing 11.
GT Predicted Playing 11
Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Hardik Pandya (c), David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Alzarri Joseph, Pradeep Sangwan/ Yash Dayal, Lockie Ferguson, Mohammed Shami
MI Predicted Playing 11
Ishan Kishan (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Tim David, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Hrithik Shokeen, Daniel Sams, Jasprit Bumrah, Kumar Kartikeya, Riley Meredith
