Match details
Fixture: Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians
Date & Time: May 30, 2025, 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur
GT Probable XI
Shubman Gill (capt), Kusal Mendis (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, M Shahrukh Khan, Rashid Khan, Gerald Coetzee, Rahul Tewatia, Mohammed Siraj, R Sai Kishore, Arshad Khan, M Prasidh Krishna.
Sai Sudharsan is expected to be the impact substitute as GT will continue with their opening pair of Sudharsan and skipper Shubman Gill. Jos Buttler will not be available for them in the playoffs, as he is set to join England’s squad for international commitments.
Hence, the franchise has already announced that they have acquired the services of Sri Lanka star Kusal Mendis as a replacement for Buttler, and he is expected to be in the playing XI as the wicketkeeper-batter.
Following him, Sherfane Rutherford will be there along with Shahrukh Khan. Despite a poor season so far, Rashid Khan will be included, along with another all-round option in the form of Coetzee. Rahul Tewatia will be expected to perform well as a finisher.
The three pacers will be Siraj, Arshad, and Prasidh Krishna. The lone spinner will be Sai Kishore, but the entire bowling unit must perform better than what they have delivered in the last three games.
