On the other hand, KKR, the defending champions, are brimming with confidence after a commanding victory over Rajasthan Royals. With both teams dealing with their share of injuries and form concerns, here’s a look at the likely playing XIs for the match and key predictions for your Dream11 Fantasy teams.

Known for its batting-friendly surface, this venue has historically favored high-scoring encounters. However, bowlers who execute their plans well can still make an impact. Mumbai Indians have a solid record at Wankhede, having played 85 matches here, winning 51 and losing 33. Their highest total at this venue is 234, while their lowest is 87. On the other hand, KKR have struggled in Mumbai, winning only 5 out of 17 games. Their highest score at Wankhede is 202, whereas their lowest remains 67.

Rajasthan Royals leg-break spinner Wanindu Hasaranga entered an exclusive club after bagging a four-wicket haul against Chennai Super Kings in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Hasaranga singlehandedly broke the backbone of Chennai's attempt to chase down 183 on Guwahati's surface. He tore CSK's batting order apart by cleaning up Rahul Tripathi, Vijay Shankar, Shivam Dube and skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. He ended his full bowling quota of four overs with searing figures of 4/35 and became just the third spinner to register a four-wicket haul against Chennai in the cash-rich league. Former ball tweaker Harbhajan Singh was the first to script the feat to his name after dazzling for Mumbai Indians and claiming 5/18 against the five-time champions in 2011.

Having lost their first two matches—against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders—RR will be eager to turn things around at their secondary home ground. Their batting has failed to fire so far, and a strong performance will be needed to avoid a third consecutive defeat. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings started their campaign with a win against Mumbai Indians but suffered a crushing loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Chepauk. That defeat, only their second-ever against RCB at home, has raised concerns about their bowling attack. However, the slower pitch in Guwahati might work in their favor, particularly for their spinners, as they look to bounce back strongly.

Mumbai Indians' senior pacer Trent Boult said the Gujarat Titans bowlers made good use of the black soil pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium and successfully tied up the MI batters by taking the pace off the ball. Hosts GT beat MI by 36 runs in their IPL match after posting 196 for eight here on Saturday, as dew did not come into the picture. «Good tactics from the opposition. If you have those options to do that, it obviously makes sense, but I don't think we'll be using it as an excuse,» Boult said at the post-match press conference. «There are players in our team that have played all over the country on all different types of wickets. So, in all honesty, just an off game tonight, I thought they (GT) scrapped their way to a good total and they showed us how to bowl on that wicket. So full credit to them,» Boult added. The track used for the game was black soil instead of the red one, but the seasoned Kiwi refused to use it as an excuse. «I think it was just good thinking of using home tactics to your advantage. Obviously, there should be an advantage for the home team. But like I said, not an excuse from our point of view. We understood the wicket was black soil and I don't think we just didn't adjust nicely enough,» Boult said.

Gujarat Titans will host Mumbai Indians at Ahmedabad on Saturday. The battle will be between two generations of Indian openers, with Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma going head to head.

Both teams will be looking to secure their first win after disappointing starts to the season. MI, led by Hardik Pandya in his return to the team after serving a one-match ban, will aim to bounce back from a loss to Chennai Super Kings. Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, narrowly missed out on a win in their season opener, falling just 11 runs short against Punjab Kings.

Rohit Sharma says the Indian team has endured cricket's vicissitudes in the last nine months but it waged a collective battle to achieve success and every member of the side that competed in the last three ICC tournaments deserves «respect». In their last three ICC limited-overs tournaments, India have lost only one out of 24 matches, with the defeat coming against Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad. The India team recently won the ICC Champions Trophy and the T20 World Cup in Barbados last year. In between India lost a rare home Test series against New Zealand and away in Australia. Reflecting on his remarkable tenure as India captain, Rohit said: «Look at what this team has achieved in this big three tournaments. After playing the tournament like that and getting defeated only once and that too in a final (2023 ODI World Cup).»
