Mumbai: The top three top picks for the Gujarat Titans face a harsh test of the Mumbai Indians’ powerful bowling attack, when both teams arrived in India’s Premier League playoffs on Tuesday.
With the best net run rate of all teams, the third-place MI requires three games left to get two wins to ensure a direct position in the last four games. The five-time winner will play two games at home, where they won four of the five games.
GT is fourth with four games left, two of which will be in Ahmedabad’s homeland, and they also won four of five games. Shubman Jill's team basically needs two more wins to make the playoffs.
The top three pilots of B Sai Sudharsan (504 times), Jos Buttler (470) and Captain Gill (465) have already dominated the race, bringing many wins to the Titans.
However, the result of Tuesday's game can be determined by their performance against Trent Boult (16 wickets), Hardik Pandya (13), Jasprit Bumrah (11) and Deepak Chahar (11) and Seepak Chahar and Seepak Chahar and Deepak Chahar (9).
The winning streak has swelled to an impressive six games since MI started winning streak, and they haven’t even admitted more than 200 games at home at once.
Enough to ring the alarm bell in the Titan Camp, the winning formula is based primarily on the total hits that piled up heavy in the first place.
However, MI will also be alert to the Titans’ impeccable record while chasing them each of their three games beat the second with heavy profits.
But while the GT's top three dominates the batting table, it's natural that others don't have much time to ban Sherfane Rutherford (201 Run), meaning Mi's bowlers want to work hard to attack in order to get a huge attack.
Hadick led the Titans to a title title in their first game just three seasons ago, but this year he took over the strong revival of the Mumbai Indians after an early season, including a loss to GT in Ahmedabad.
Perhaps no other all-around player surfaced in the game and performed well, just as admirable as Pandya (157 runs, 13 wickets), providing a lot of pointed heads for MI.
Rohit Sharma (293 times) is ready to switch gears in the middle to build a long inning, and Suryakumar Yadav (475) entering his element is indeed the biggest worrying sign of MI's rivals.
Ryan Rickelton (334) scored impressively slow scores when he made his first attack under recent pressure. Will Jacks also entered his own pace as an all-rounder, while Tilak Varma (239) and Naman Dhir (155) provided a solid attitude to the batting lineup.
To his credit, the Gujarat Titans bowlers did a great job without Kagiso Rabada, who admitted he was connected with him after a temporary suspension for recreational drug use earlier this year. It is not clear whether he can play the upcoming game, as the length of his suspension is unclear.
GT's Indian bowlers performed well. Leaded by Prasidh Krishna, who has 19 wicket rankings in the IPL, attackers featuring Mohammed Siraj (14) and R Sai Kishore (12) managed to provide a very stable delivery for the team.
