The defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) are
all set to take on five-time winners Mumbai Indians (MI) on April
25 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Notably, the
visiting team have lost three of their first six games and are currently
seventh on the IPL 2023 Points Table, while the Hardik Pandya-led
side started the season really well, with four wins out of six matches.
In their last match, the Titans pulled off a heist by
defending just 135 runs against a quality batting lineup of Lucknow Super
Giants. Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill are in terrific form with the bat,
while Mohit Sharma has impressed one and all with the ball. Young Afghani
spinner Noor Ahmad has also made a solid impact so far.
Mumbai, meanwhile, are struggling with the bat. However,
flamboyant batter Suryakumar Yadav has returned to form and that will boost the
confidence of the team ahead of their upcoming match. With the ball, Piyush
Chawla has been terrific so far but overall as a team, the Rohit Sharma-led
side needs significant improvement.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium is a balanced one. It
is expected to favour the pacers initially, but as the game goes on, spinners
are likely to come into the picture. Anything above 175 will be a good total on
the surface.

GT vs MI Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter
Suryakumar Yadav:
The 32-year-old Suryakumar Yadav has finally got his mojo
back. He was terrific in Mumbai’s last IPL 2023 match against Punjab
Kings and if he manages to play in a similar fashion, the fans are definitely
up for a treat.
Probable Best Bowler
Mohit Sharma:
The veteran pacer was one of GT’s net bowlers in the last
season. This year, he has become one of the players to watch out for from the
team. The 34-year-old has been terrific with his line and length and is bowling
at an economy of just 4.66. Thus, Mumbai batters may find it difficult to
tackle Mohit in the middle.
