Shubman Gill is one of the top batters for GT and will open the batting. His biggest challenge will be countering the new ball, as Mumbai have a potent attack, and some swing is expected at this venue.
Trent Boult, meanwhile, has an excellent record against the Gujarat Titans' opener. In IPL 2020, Gill managed only 7 runs off 11 balls before Boult dismissed him. With Boult set to take the new ball for Mumbai, this will be a fascinating matchup to watch.

<h3 class="MsoNormal">2. Rohit Sharma vs Rashid Khan</h3>

Rohit Sharma is one of Mumbai Indians' leading run-getters in this format. As an opener, he will face Rashid, one of the world's best bowlers and the highest wicket-taker in T20 cricket.
<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/rashid-khan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashid Khan</a> has an impressive record against Rohit, having dismissed him four times, with Rohit scoring just 60 runs at a strike rate of 120. It will be interesting to see if the Afghan spinner can trouble Rohit once again in today's clash.

<h3>3. Suryakumar Yadav vs Kagiso Rabada</h3>

Suryakumar Yadav currently ranked&nbsp;fifth in the T20I rankings, will play a crucial role for Mumbai Indians in this match. Batting in the middle overs, he will be up against Kagiso Rabada, one of Gujarat Titans’ best bowlers.
Suryakumar has scored just 6 runs off Rabada in T20s, being dismissed twice—both times caught. Their previous encounters came in the 2024 T20 World Cup final (3 runs) and a November 2024 T20I (3 runs). With Rabada having the upper hand in these limited clashes, this battle will be one to watch.
