The former captain and five-time title-winning skipper of the Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma, is set to face Mohammed Siraj inside the powerplay. With small boundaries and batting-friendly conditions, it could be a nightmare for Siraj. However, with his ability to swing the ball both ways, Siraj has already dismissed Rohit once this season in Ahmedabad. This time, though, Rohit will be looking to dominate GT's frontline pacer.
2. Shubman Gill vs Jasprit BumrahThe young Gujarat Titans captain, Shubman Gill, will face a tough challenge against Jasprit Bumrah, one of the best bowlers in the world. With his pace, accuracy, and ability to swing the ball, Bumrah has the potential to unsettle even the most in-form batters. While Gill has been outstanding this season, this battle between bat and ball could prove pivotal in deciding the outcome for both teams.
