How Will GT and MI
Line up?
GT are likely to replace the injured Md Shami with Mohit
Sharma. Otherwise, barring Hardik Pandya, the team will include most players
who featured in the IPL 2023 final versus CSK.
MI are without Cameron Green whom they released prior to the IPL auction. However, they are boosted by Bumrah’s return to fitness. Hardik Pandya’s inclusion is another major change.
