Gujarat Titans

Wriddhiman Saha will retain his opening slot for GT. He is in good touch. Shubman Gill got run-out in the last match against PBKS. He scored 31 runs against RCB and it must have helped him to regain his form.

Sai Sudharshan was included in the playing 11 against PBKS. He smashed 65 runs off 50 deliveries but no other player could support his knock.

Hardik Pandya looks out of form with the bat, since the last 3 matches. Miller and Tewatia both look in good touch and their place is irreplaceable in the playing 11. Miller currently has the highest batting average of 57.40, in the GT squad.

Pradeep Sangwan picked 2 wickets in his first match against RCB but went wicket less against PBKS. He might be retained for the playing 11 again.

Rashid Khan isn’t able to pick wickets at a pace that he used to but he has the economy of 6.92 currently, which is quite impressive for this format. He has picked 9 wickets in 10 matches.

Alzarri Joseph has fitted himself well in the team. He has picked 5 wickets in 5 matches. Lockie Ferguson and Mohammad Shami are well at the front to take care of the pace attack of GT. Although Shami gave off 43 runs in the last match, he is the leading wicket taker with 15 wickets in 10 matches.

Mumbai Indians

After a series of poor performances, Ishan Kishan played a decent innings of 26 runs off 18 balls. This might help him to regain his lost form. Rohit Sharma is also out of form in this season. He did score 39 runs against LSG but then got out on 2 in the last match against RR.

Suryakumar Yadav’s half century against RR handed MI their first win of the season after losing the first 8 matches. Tilak Varma is one plus point for Mumbai Indians this season. He is currently the leading run scorer of the team, with 307 runs in 9 matches at an average of 43.85.

Tim David finished the job for the MI in the last match and he was picked in that match after he missed a few matches. He will be retained again in the playing 11.

Hrithik Shokeen gave off 47 runs in the last match against RR but he picked 2 crucial wickets as well, one of them was of the in-form Jos Buttler who could’ve done more damage to the MI.

Daniel Sams has picked 6 wickets in the last 3 matches and he looks in better form now than in the initial stage of the season.

The new bowler Kumar Kartikeya bowled well in his first match. He picked 1 wicket and gave off just 19 runs in his spell of 4 overs.

Bumrah is still trying to bring his form back while Riley Meredith has been pretty impressive so far taking 5 wickets in 3 matches.
