GT vs MI: Playing XI And Impact Players List Of Both The Teams

GT vs MI: Gujarat Titans are all set to host the 5-times IPL champs Mumbai Indians as they lock horns with each other at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for a mouth-watering clash.

Both teams are coming into this game riding on the back of contrasting results. While Gujarat Titans managed to hold their nerves and win a close encounter against Lucknow, on the other hand, Mumbai Indians suffered a defeat at the hands of Punjab Kings that broke their three-game winning streak.

Rohit Sharma Won The Toss And Opted To Bowl First

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first. Speaking at the toss, Rohit revealed the changes in the playing XI for the game. He said:

“We are gonna bowl first. We saw the pitch yesterday, it was hard. They put a lot of water there. Want to make best use of the conditions since we think there’s going to be a bit of moisture. Start well early on and see where the game is heading. Games like that happen (loss against PBSK), we made some errors and we accepted that in the changing room.

He added:

“It’s important how you come back from that situation and what you’re going to plan for the next few games, that’s quite critical. We had a good chat and hopefully we can turn things around. We’ve got 2 changes – Hrithik Shokeen misses out from the last game. Kumar Kartikeya is going to play. Jofra is not well. Riley Meredith is back.”

Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya also revealed the changes GT made in its playing XI. He said:

“It (pitch) looks good, looks watery. It has been a belter though. The way we fought back, the last game we won but LSG dominated for 36 overs. Credit to the boys the way we came back. We showed what is never give up. Luck was on our side. We are playing the same team. Josh Little comes back for someone, that’s it.”
