Gujarat vs Mumbai, IPL 2024: Top Fantasy 11 Team Picks, Probable Playing 11s & More
Gujarat vs Mumbai, IPL 2024: Check Out the fantasy tips for the Gujarat vs Mumbai fixture scheduled on March 24 (Sunday).
Gujarat vs Mumbai Fantasy Tips: Last season's runners-up Gujarat will host Mumbai in the evening fixture of the second double-header in the Indian T20 League. A lot has happened in between the two editions of the tournament though with Gujarat's captain Pandya being traded to Mumbai. On the other hand, Mumbai too have replaced their extremely successful captain Rohit with Hardik. Amid all this, Hardik will lead an opposition at a venue which was his home until the last season.
It is easy to forget the actual cricketing action amid all this. As a reminder, Mumbai too managed to reach the Playoffs in the previous season but lost to Gujarat in the second qualifier after winning over Lucknow in the Eliminator. There has been a mini-auction too in between with several additions/exclusion in both the camps.
For those interested in participating in a Fantasy Cricket contest for this fixture and looking for tips to build a team, ABP Live has got you covered.
Fantasy Picks For Gujarat vs Mumbai
Kishan as a wicketkeeper and someone who is all but guaranteed to open the batting becomes an essential choice in the Fantasy side. One can go ahead with Saha too, given he is set to open the batting as well and keep the wickets. In absence of Shami, Mohit could be a decent pick among the bowlers, not to forget his exploits with the ball last season. Rashid, too, will be a handy, and raring to go after recovering from an injury. For Mumbai, when there is Bumrah, it is hard to look away while Chawla had a great season last year and can be considered for a place.
Among the batters, those that potential get more number of deliveries to make an impact in the match are preferred, meaning Rohit cannot be ignored despite him having been dismissed for 20 times inside the powerplay in his last 30 innings. Gill should ideally also be slotted in the side as he will open the batting and was in superb form last season. Tilak and i Sudharsan are other useful options that can be considered.
Among the all-rounders, Hardik gets the first nod. Shankar too can be considered if the balance of the side allows. Consider Hardik for the captain/vice-captain role given that he tends to bat up the order and even use the ball when he is the captain of the side.
