In the sixth match of the competition, the Mumbai Indians, the five-time winners, will play the Gujarat Titans in one of the most anticipated matchups of the IPL 2024. On Sunday, March 24, both teams will take center stage at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Aakash Chopra, a former Indian cricket player, took center stage and made predictions on who might be some of the top players for his team and the other as spectators braced for an exciting match between both teams.
From the Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans, Chopra selected three players each who may decide a game for their respective teams. The former Indian batsman selected Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Hardik Pandya from the five-time champions.
“I’ll begin with Rohit Sharma. I believe that his only successful season was in 2013, but since then, he hasn’t had a 500-plus season. As a captain, he has achieved great success. My first thought was Ishan Kishan after that. He’s under a lot of pressure,” Chopra stated in a video posted to his YouTube account.

Of course, Hardik Pandya is the third player. The captain, batter, and bowler for this game is Hardik Pandya; Suryakumar Yadav is not available,” he continued.

Additionally, Aakash Chopra identified Umesh Yadav, Rashid Khan, and Shubman Gill as possible Gujarat Titans standout performers against the Mumbai Indians in their forthcoming match.
Shubman Gill, who doubles as a captain and batter, is the first. His captaining style will be the main focus. Though he is quite young, his skill is immense. I am very interested in Rashid Khan’s bowling style and how many wickets he takes because he is returning from injury,” Chopra stated.
Umesh Yadav is the third participant. He said, “There’s something about that Gujarat pitch under lights that will come in handy for him if they bowl second. His ball swings and swing.”
