GT vs MI Predicted XIs, IPL 2024: Focus On Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill's Role Under New Leadership Structure

The champions of IPL 2022, Gujarat Titans (GT), will host the five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in the fifth match of the Indian Premier League(IPL)2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, March 24. The Titans won their first-ever IPL trophy under the leadership of Hardik Pandya in their debut season in 2022. Pandya led GT to another IPL final the following year before losing to MSD's CSK in a rain-curtailed summit clash.  Hardik Pandya will now captain MI in IPL 2024 while Shubman Gill will lead GT. Gill would be determined to prove his mettle and guide the Titans to another IPL trophy this season.

Let's take a look at the predicted XIs of both sides ahead of a mouth-watering encounter.

Shubman Gill (captain)

Showman Shubman Gill is Gujarat's star opening batter. After winning the Orange Cap in the previous edition, Gill would be raring to take on the Mumbai Indians in GT's campaign opener.

Wriddhiman Saha (wicketkeeper)

Skipper Shubman's opening partner Wriddhiman Saha is also known as one of the most destructive batters in the Indian Premier League. The Indian veteran's power-hitting skills during the powerplays have always led the Titans to high-scoring totals.

Sai Sudharsan

Having amassed 362 runs in eight matches last year, Sai Sudharsan will be the go-to option to bat at one down. The Chennai-based batter impressed everyone with his batting prowess and will be an exciting cricketer to look out for this season.

Vijay Shankar

Another Tamil Nadu-based cricketer, Vijay Shankar is expected to bat at No.4 for Gujarat Titans. Vijay will be a quality addition in the middle-order and is likely to add the required firepower to GT's batting arsenal.
