Gujarat Titans IPL 2022 Predicted XI vs Mumbai Indians: Hardik Pandya Might Bring Vijay Shankar Back. Hardik Pandya can replace all-rounder Pradeep Sangwan with all-rounder Vijay Shankar to bolster batting depth for the game against Mumbai Indians.
GT will look to make changes to their lineup after a rare hiccup against PBKS in their otherwise flawless IPL 2022 campaign. GT lost by eight wickets to PBKS, their second loss of the season. Given their poor performance with the bat in their previous game, skipper Hardik will try to bat deep this time. All-rounder Vijay Shankar could make a comeback to the final XI if left-arm pacer Pradeep Sangwan bowls well.

Here’s how Gujarat Titans Predicted XI vs Mumbai Indians:
Wriddhiman Saha:
Since being given the responsibility of opening the batting with Shubman Gill, the wicketkeeper-batter has been on fire. However, the wicket-keeper batter will need to keep up his good work in order to keep his spot in a competitive GT squad.
Shubman Gill:
GT has been concerned about the youngster’s erratic form. So far, the batter has scored 269 runs in 10 games, including two fifties.
Sai Sudharsan:
He received a lot of praise after a gutsy fifty in the previous game and will look to replicate that performance against MI.
Hardik Pandya:
He has served as the team’s backbone. His versatility with the bat has aided the team in a variety of ways. Apart from dealing with the pressure of completing early overs after the loss of quick wickets, the batter has also finished in style with big shots.
David Miller:
Since being given a lengthy run in the starting XI, the South African has continued to live up to the finisher’s role. His ability to bat in the bottom of the order has been a huge asset to the team.
Rahul Tewatia:
He had a rare failure vs. PBKS in which he was unable to get going. His batting struggle included 11 runs off 13 balls.
Vijay Shankar:
The all-rounder could take over for Sangwan, who struggled in his two overs against PBKS. Pandya may be forced to bring in Shankar after the latter conceded 23 runs in 12 balls.
Alzarri Joseph:
Joseph struggled with the ball, conceding 25 runs in 18 balls against PBKS. The pacer hopes to get into the wickets column in the upcoming games.
Lockie Ferguson:
Ferguson’s pace has troubled even the best batters, and the fast bowler will undoubtedly look to get into the wickets against a struggling MI batting line-up. This season, the Kiwi pacer has consistently clocked 150 kph.
Mohammed Shami:
Although Shami started well against PBKS, Liam Livingstone took him to the cleaners. However, given his abilities, he should be able to bounce back against MI.
