After absolutely decimating Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator of IPL 2023, Mumbai Indians will travel to Ahmedabad to challenge Gujarat Titans for a spot in the finals. Notably, the defending champions lost to Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier 1 and thus, there are certain areas they need to improve at the moment while Mumbai looks more or less sorted and will be gunning to lift their sixth title in history.
Akash Madhwal, who has played only seven matches in the ongoing season has already proved his mettle in the cash-rich league. The 29-year-old pacer picked up a brilliant five-for and has shown tremendous consistency.
Meanwhile, with the bat, Suryakumar Yadav and Cameron Green will be the players to watch out for from the MI camp. Coming to Gujarat, Shubman Gill will once again have the responsibility to deliver while Hardik Pandya and Wriddhiman Saha’s form is a matter of concern at the moment. When it comes to the bowlers, Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan have been phenomenal so far and can prove to be vital for GT.
