IPL 2025: Predicting MI’s playing XI for their clash against GT

The five-time champions, Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the ninth game of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium will host this game on Saturday, March 29, at 7:30 PM (IST). It will be a crucial game for the Mumbai Indians to register their first win in the tournament’s current edition. 

MI are coming off a 4-wicket defeat against the five-time champions, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday, March 23. They will aim to win this game and get off the mark in their ongoing IPL 2025 campaign. 

Given that, here we’ll have a look at the predicted playing XI of the Mumbai Indians for their next clash against the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). 

Openers – Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickleton (WK)

Mumbai Indians will look ahead to go with the unchanged opening pair of former skipper Rohit Sharma and wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickleton. However, the duo failed to give a good start to their side in the last game against CSK. 

But both the batters have a knack for making a strong comeback in the next game against the Gujarat Titans. Rohit Sharma can make an outstanding impact with a blistering start in the powerplay phase of the innings while Ryan Rickleton is also known for his amazing power-hitting abilities. 

Middle-Order – Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav (C), Tilak Varma, Robin Minz, and Naman Dhir

The middle-order of MI looks intact with some star batters in it. It starts with the number three batter Will Jacks, who can accelerate the scoreboard with his blistering approach in the top of the batting order. He will be followed by the skipper Suryakumar Yadav at number four; he also scored 29 runs off 26 balls, with two fours and a six in the low-scoring affair against CSK. 

Star batter Tilak Varma will be there to bat at number five; he can produce a brilliant knock to help his side post a big total on the board. He also scored 31 runs off 25 balls, with two fours and two sixes. He will be followed by young batter Robin Minz and Naman Dhir at number six and seven in the lower middle order.

All-Rounder – Mitchell Santner

The New Zealand white-ball skipper Mitchell Santner could play a crucial role as a bowling all-rounder in the playing XI for Mumbai Indians in their next game against GT. He can score some crucial runs while batting at number eight in the lower order. 

Besides that, he can also be there in the role of a specialist spinner, providing impactful support to the core bowling attack of the Mumbai Indians against the Gujarat Titans.

Bowlers – Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, and Satyanarayana Raju

The bowling attack of the Mumbai Indians will include three out-and-out medium pacers, including the likes of Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, and Satyanarayana Raju. Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult’s experience could be a serious threat to tackle for the opponent during the power-play overs. 

Besides these two, young pacer Satyanarayana Raju can also play a vital role with the ball as the third pacer in this core pace-bowling trio of the Mumbai Indians for their game against the Gujarat Titans.
