Mumbai Indians (MI) welcome the return of captain Hardik Pandya from a one-match suspension as they take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in Ahmedabad today. Mumbai skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bowl first against hosts Gujarat tonight. Can MI take home their first ever win in Ahmedabad tonight? Only time will tell.
Pandya’s comeback bolsters MI’s line-up, addressing their struggles in his absence, particularly in both batting and bowling. Jasprit Bumrah’s pace attack was missed, and Pandya’s inclusion may see Robin Minz sidelined. Concerns persist over Suryakumar Yadav’s poor form and Rohit Sharma’s inconsistency, while the middle order remains unstable. Spinner Vignesh Puthur faces a challenge on Ahmedabad’s batting-friendly track.
For GT, bowling remains a weak link, with Mohammed Siraj expensive and their pace attack under pressure. Rashid Khan leads the spin department, while Shubman Gill’s form is crucial. Glenn Phillips may replace Sherfane Rutherford for additional spin. ALSO READ: IPL 2025: GT vs MI Playing 11, live toss and match time, streaming
