Hardik Pandya returns for MI, will Jos Buttler move to open? GT vs MI likely XIs

Two teams in desperate need of some confidence and momentum in this fresh season take each other on to try and get on the board in IPL 2025. For Mumbai, on the other hand, a big boost will be provided as Hardik Pandya returns from his suspension, in time to face a franchise he led to the 2022 IPL title. Early wickets as Boult has made an art out of could break the back of that batting unit, and allow skipper Hardik to deploy his vast resources towards a clinical win. GT will therefore need their top three of Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharshan, and Jos Buttler to really show up for this match, at once hanging on to their wickets but also remaining positive. MI likely XI: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Vignesh Puthur GT likely XI: Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharshan, Jos Buttler, Glenn Phillips, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Sai Kishore, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna
