MI Playing XI vs GT: GT vs MI LIVE – Captain Rohit Sharma will have to deliberate on the selection of Arjun Tendulkar as Mumbai Indians prepare for the clash against Gujarat Titans. Tendulkar Jr put in a Jekyl and Hyde show at the Wankhede last time out, prompting questions on his place in the side. There still remains no place for the impressive Dewald Brevis, given MI’s power-packed line-up. Follow IPL 2023 LIVE Updates on Insidesport.IN
Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Ishan Kishan(w), Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, Tim David, Nehal Wadhera, Kumar Kartikeya, Arjun Tendulkar, Riley Meredith, Piyush Chawla, Jason Behrendorff
Arjun Tendulkar bowled a searing yorker to dismiss Prabhsimran Singh but conceded 31 runs in his third over to Harpreet Bhatia and Sam Curran. One of the most expensive overs bowled in MI history, it proved to be the difference between victory and defeat as Rohit Sharma and Co fell short by 13 runs.
Jofra Arhcer’s return has been positive even as the English pacer looked a little off-colour in the last game. Thus a return for Mohammad Arshad Khan could be considered. However, given Rohit Sharma’s trust on Arjun and his skills, it is unlikely that the left-arm pacer gets the axe.
The rest of the unit remains the same. Jason Behrendorff shares the new ball duties with Arjun while Jofra Archer adds pace in the middle and at the death. Cameron Green, Hrithik Shokeen and Piyush Chawla are the other bowling options at Rohit’s disposal.
Green is showing signs of why MI paid a fortune to get his services. Suryakumar Yadav has also found some form while Tilak Varma continues to thrive in any role thrown at him. MI’s openers have fired, but they want to put on big partnerships and not sabotage their promising starts.
