Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha lead the charge for GT in powerplay

Speaking about the game, with rain lashing down in Ahmedabad, the game was delayed for half an hour. Following the change in conditions, MI captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and invited GT to bat first.

At the toss, Rohit said that he believes his team can make the most out of the pitch, which appears to be a little sticky. He also stated that he believes MI can do better when chasing, citing that they have done well while chasing this season. The MI captain also made a change to their lineup as they brought Kumar Kartikeya in place of Hrithik Shokeen.

Meanwhile, openers Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill provided an explosive start for GT, as the defending champions were 50/0 after the powerplay.
