PremiumDefending champions, Gujarat Titans (GT), will take on the five-time champions, Mumbai Indians (MI) on April 25.
Today marks a momentous occasion in the Indian Premier League (IPL), as the reigning champions, Gujarat Titans (GT), will take on the five-time champions, Mumbai Indians (MI), in a highly anticipated match on April 25. The match will pit two titans of the game, Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma, against each other, in a showdown of unparalleled proportions.
GT have a favourable record of winning four out of their six previous matches in the IPL 2023, whereas MI have won three of their six games. The gap between their points is merely two, and yet Pandya's men stand at fourth place on the points table while Rohit's team appears to be struggling at seventh place. In addition, MI are grappling with a low Net Run Rate (NRR) of -0.254.
Despite Suryakumar Yadav's resurgence with the bat, Mumbai's batting is in a slump, which has impacted the team's confidence heading into the crucial match. On the other hand, Piyush Chawla has been outstanding with the ball, but the entire team led by Rohit Sharma must demonstrate significant improvement.
In their previous match, GT successfully defended a paltry score of 135 runs against the formidable batting lineup of the Lucknow Super Giants. Furthermore, Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill are in exceptional form with the bat while Mohit Sharma has been impressive with his bowling.
