Being the most successful franchises in the history of the league, pressure will be on Hardik to deliver. He has shown that he can be a natural leader when he led Gujarat Titans to the title in their IPL debut. And then, in the following year, they nearly defended their title successfully.
MI Full Squad: Rohit Sharma, Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, N. Tilak Varma, Tim David, Vishnu Vinod, Arjun Tendulkar, Shams Mulani, Nehal Wadhera, Jasprit Bumrah, Kumar Kartikeya, Piyush Chawla, Akash Madhwal, Jason Behrendorff, Romario Shepherd, Hardik Pandya (c), Gerald Coetzee, Dilshan Madushanka, Shreyas Gopal, Nuwan Thushara, Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj, Mohammad Nabi, Shivalik Sharma.
At the time of filing the copy, the Titans were 120 for three in the 15th over. Sai Sudarshan is in the middle on 41* off 34 balls and he has David Miller for company. The Titans would be eyeing a big finish here.
