GT vs MI Dream11 Prediction: When Mumbai Indians make a long trip to Ahmedabad to play the home team Gujarat Giants in IPL 2024, all eyes will be on three players. They come in the shape of Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma. It’s a massive game for these players as all are donning different hats this campaign.
It’s no secret that whatever transpired at Mumbai Indians during the trade period back in December 2023, didn’t fall under the sporting moral values.
Mumbai Indians approached Gujarat Giants for their then captain Hardik Pandya, who made some demands, allegedly, and MI succumbed. The ripple effect were huge as Rohit Sharma was stripped off captaincy duties. Amidst all this drama came out a winner, who was Shubman Gill. Because Pandya’s image got some bad hit due to the way this trade happened, while Gill got the chance to lead a franchise as big as Gujarat Giants.

GT vs MI Pitch & Weather Report
Weather Report:
It may be early summer in India but the sun is already scorching down. The temperature is likely to touch as high as 39°C today, but should drop to 35°C when the match starts at the Narendra Modi Stadium. What’s more important is that weather forecast indicates a clear sky today.
Pitch Report:
It’s a pitch that has something for both the bowlers and the batsmen. In fact, the batsmen were on top during the IPL 2023 campaign as the average score in the 1st innings at this venue was touching 200. So expect a run fest here.
Head To Head Record
Gujarat Giants and Mumbai Indians have faced each other four times in the previous two seasons. And both teams have won twice in those encounters. What’s even more interesting is that in the last three games, one team has scored over 200 runs.
