GT vs MI Live Score, IPL 2026: Stability vs lack thereof as Gujarat Titans host Mumbai Indians
Rohit Sharma has been in the nets to get close to match fitness•PTI
GT have played the same XII whenever they’ve been able to this season, and it looks unlikely that they’ll change that combination after winning three games on the bounce.
Gujarat Titans (probable): 1 Shubman Gill (capt), 2 B Sai Sudharsan, 3 Jos Buttler (wk), 4 Washington Sundar, 5 Glenn Phillips, 6 Rahul Tewatia, 7 M Shahrukh Khan, 8 Rashid Khan, 9 Ashok Sharma, 10 Kagiso Rabada, 11 Mohammed Siraj, 12 Prasidh Krishna.
Rohit Sharma and Mitchell Santner (illness) missed MI’s match against PBKS on Thursday. MI bowling coach Paras Mhambrey confirmed on Sunday that both were fit, with Rohit back to batting in the nets.
Without Rohit, MI had trouble balancing their line-up against PBKS on Thursday. Quinton de Kock came into the side and scored a brilliant comeback hundred, but that meant Trent Boult sat out to keep the overseas-player count down to four. The Indian player who came in for Boult, Mayank Rawat, had an undistinguished debut, coming in at No. 8 to occupy the non-striker’s end with one ball left of MI’s innings, and not bowling his offspin at all. Rohit will likely return in Ryan Rickelton’s place with Boult or Corbin Bosch coming back to strengthen the pace bowling. MI may have a hard choice to make between Santner and AM Ghazanfar, who took two powerplay wickets against PBKS.
Mumbai Indians (probable): 1 Quinton de Kock (wk), 2 Rohit Sharma, 3 Suryakumar Yadav, 4 Naman Dhir, 5 Tilak Varma, 6 Hardik Pandya (capt), 7 Sherfane Rutherford, 8 Mitchell Santner/AM Ghazanfar, 9 Trent Boult/Corbin Bosch, 10 Shardul Thakur, 11 Deepak Chahar, 12 Jasprit Bumrah.
