Gill, who has scored a fifty against MI in Ahmedabad this season, can take the game away from MI with his effortless and fearless strokeplay. If Wriddhiman Saha, Vijay Shankar, and Hardik Pandya, too, find their groove, MI bowlers will have a tough time on the batting-friendly track.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GT bowlers failed to grab a wicket in the powerplay against Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier 1. However, Mohammed Shami is the most dangerous bowler in the GT attack. He can pick up wickets early in the match and put MI batters under pressure. Afghan spin king Rashid Khan has picked up six wickets in two outings against MI in IPL 2023. With Mohit Sharma and Noor Ahmad playing well, it would be a stern test for MI batters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>GT Squad<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardik Pandya (captain)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wriddhiman Saha<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shubman Gill<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sai Sudharsan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Miller<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rahul Tewatia<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abhinav Manohar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rashid Khan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Noor Ahmad<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mohit Sharma<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mohammad Shami<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vijay Shankar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yash Dayal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alzarri Joseph<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joshua Little<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dasun Shanaka<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matthew Wade<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jayant Yadav<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odean Smith<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">R Sai Kishore<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urvil Patel<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KS Bharat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shivam Mavi<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pradeep Sangwan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Darshan Nalkande<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Mumbai Indians (MI)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MI opening pair is stitching quickfire partnerships, while Suryakumar Yadav and Cameron Green are in sublime form.

The overseas pacers Jason Behrendroff and Chris Jordan must step up their game.
