Mumbai Indians (MI) will be strengthened by the return of captain Hardik Pandya from a one-match suspension as they gear up to face Gujarat Titans (GT) in Ahmedabad on Saturday. Both teams are eager to secure their first win of IPL 2025, with MI suffering a defeat against Chennai Super Kings and GT falling short against Punjab Kings in a high-scoring encounter.
Pandya’s return provides much-needed stability to MI’s lineup, addressing weaknesses in both batting and bowling from the previous match. The absence of Jasprit Bumrah’s pace was felt, and Pandya’s inclusion might lead to Robin Minz being dropped. Concerns linger over Suryakumar Yadav’s lack of form and Rohit Sharma’s inconsistency, while the middle order continues to be unpredictable. Meanwhile, spinner Vignesh Puthur faces a tough test on Ahmedabad’s batting-friendly pitch.
