GT come in with three wins in a row, while MI have lost four straight. MI will look to shake off their losing run, while GT aim to carry their momentum at home.<\/p>\n<p>GT have stuck with Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada, Prasidh Krishna and Ashok Sharma in every game this season. The four have led the best pace attack in the league, with a combined average of 24.89, and have driven results. With three wins in a row, GT are unlikely to change a settled combination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GT Probable XI:<\/strong> Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Ashok Sharma, Kagiso Rabada, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj<\/p>\n<p><strong>Impact subs:<\/strong> Anuj Rawat, Shahrukh Khan, Manav Suthar, Jason Holder, Kulwant Khejroliya<\/p>\n<p><strong>Injuries\/Unavailabilities:<\/strong> All players are fit and available for selection<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch Live Streaming:<\/strong> Fans can watch the GT vs MI match live on the app and website of JioHotstar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toss Time:<\/strong> 7:00 PM<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pitch report:<\/strong> The black soil surface and long boundaries do not point to a low-scoring game. Totals should cross 200. The venue has the highest average first-innings score since last season, suggesting another high-scoring contest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Head to head:<\/strong> GT lead MI 5-3 overall, winning all four home games in Ahmedabad and four of the last five meetings.<\/p>\n<p>Rohit Sharma and Mitchell Santner are fit again after missing the last game. Rohit\u2019s return should settle the XI, though MI must decide between Santner and AM Ghazanfar. Trent Boult could come back after being left out. Jasprit Bumrah leads the attack, while Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur have good records against Shubman Gill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MI Probable XI:<\/strong> Ryan Rickelton (wk), Quinton de Kock, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (c), Sherfane Rutherford, Naman Dhir, Will Jack, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Deepak Chahar<\/p>\n<p><strong>Impact subs:<\/strong> Corbin Bosch, Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar, Trent Boult, Rohit Sharma<\/p>\n<p><strong>Injuries\/Unavailabilities:<\/strong> Rohit Sharma remains doubtful despite a net session in Ahmedabad. Mitchell Santner is available again. There is still no sign of Will Jacks, though he is expected to join soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MI under pressure, GT steady<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mumbai Indians are struggling early in the season. The middle order has not worked, bowlers lack control, and Rohit Sharma remains doubtful. One win in five games has left them at the bottom, with pressure building. Hardik Pandya has called for tough decisions, and time is limited.<\/p>\n<p>Gujarat Titans arrive with three straight wins and a strong home record against MI. Their bowling has been reliable, but batting still depends on Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler, with limited support so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heading into the 30th game of the season, it\u2019s GT against MI in Ahmedabad.
