MI vs GT IPL 2025, Mumbai Weather, Rain Forecast and Pitch Report: Here’s How Weather Will Behave for Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans at Wankhede Stadium.

Mumbai Indians

Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma have been the second and third-highest run-scorers for Mumbai Indian respectively this season. So, the opening pair is expected to be unchanged. Will Jacks has been low on runs, but keeping the winning combination intact, he is also expected to get another chance. Suryakumar Yadav has scored at an average of 67.86 so far in the IPL. So, he is another top-order batter believed to play in his usual role. Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya have been good with scoring too, so they should be for the core of the middle-order. Naman Dhir with his attacking strike rate deserves to play the finisher's role. Corbin Bosch might get a chance again. Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, and Jasprit Bumrah are the ace wicket-takers. They must stick to their role too.

Gujarat Titans

Sai Sudharsan has 500+ runs in IPL 2025, while Shubman Gill has 465. So, they are without any doubt the unchanged opening pair. Jos Buttler must be in at three keeper-batter, with 470 runs in contribution. Washington Sundar, Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan have been low on runs, but they might get opportunities to excel here. Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore haven't had their best in IPL 2025, but they are the ace spinners, so they must stay. Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna, if together in the pace attack, can be a threat for any team in the IPL this season. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna are the top wicket-takers for the side.
