IPL 2022 Mumbai Indians Predicted XI vs Gujarat Titans: Rohit Sharma May Replace Hrithik Shokeen With Murugan Ashwin.
On Friday, the Mumbai Indians (MI) will face the Gujarat Titans (GT) in a crucial Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. MI will be looking for back-to-back victories after defeating Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their previous match. However, skipper Rohit Sharma can bring back premium leg-spinner Murugan Ashwin in place of Hrithik Shokeen to add depth to their bowling attack and to combat the GT batting line-hard-hitting up’s finishers.
Here’s how MI predicted XI vs GT:
Ishan Kishan:
Despite starting the tournament on a high note, Ishan has faded and has failed to lead his team over the finish line on numerous occasions this season. The MI fans would like him to improve on his current numbers, which are 225 runs at a strike rate of just over 110.
Rohit Sharma:
The captain must take the initiative and lead from the front. His innings against current league leaders GT could very well define how MI finishes their tournament after their first win in nine games this season.
Suryakumar Yadav:
In IPL 2022, MI’s run-machine has once again been the only consistent performer. With the bat, he is nearly averaging 49 runs per game and has a strike-rate of 147.21.
Tilak Varma:
Another plus for MI this time around has been the youngster’s performances. The batter has shown tremendous bravery in difficult conditions against the tournament’s best attacks.
Kieron Pollard:
Pollard’s form with the bat and the ball this season has been a major reason for MI’s incredible run. The big hitter hasn’t looked the part and is raising concerns for skipper Rohit in the middle order.
Tim David:
The Singaporean player demonstrated his big-hitting abilities with an excellent knock of 20 runs in just 9 balls, assisting MI in chasing down the 159-run target.
Murugan Ashwin:
The leg-spinner could be used in place of Hrithik Shokeen to deal with the GT side’s hard-hitting finishers. Despite his poor performance in the tournament, Ashwin may be given another chance.
Daniel Sams:
With priceless wickets, he has repeatedly proven his selection was correct. However, his power-play economy has been a major source of concern this IPL season.
Jasprit Bumrah:
Bumrah played his part perfectly against RR, bowling some intimidating lines and lengths. However, he went wicketless, which has been a source of concern for Rohit.
Kumar Kartikeya:
He bowled extremely well against RR. His figures were 19 runs in four overs, including the crucial wicket of RR skipper Sanju Samson.
Riley Meredith:
With the wickets of Riyan Parag and Ravichandran Ashwin, the pacer ripped apart the RR middle order. The quick wickets stymied RR’s bid for a big score.
