#3 Mohit Sharma - GT

Mohit Sharma for Gujarat Titans - [IPLT20]

Ever since GT management slotted Mohit Sharma in the starting XI, the veteran pacer has done extremely well.

The 34-year old has been used in the latter stages of the innings, where his knuckle balls and variations have been difficult to gauge for the opposition batters.

Across just eight innings so far this season, Mohit has picked up 12 wickets at a wonderful average of 13.2.

Moreover, the right-armer has had a terrific record against MI over the years. He has played 17 IPL games against the Mumbai outfit and has picked up 25 wickets (his most wickets against any team) at an average of 21.6.

His 25 wickets is the joint-third-most against MI and Mohit will look to add to his tally on Friday.

Undoubtedly one of the best spinners in the shortest format, Rashid Khan has always been a prime candidate to be amongst the wickets.

Just like his previous campaign, the Afghani tweaker has found success in IPL 2023 as well. The 24-year-old is the joint-second highest wicket-taker of the tournament with as many as 19 scalps in 11 games.

With Mumbai's middle-order featuring overseas players, including Cameron Green and Tim David, Rashid is expected to do well tonight and GT will be banking on the ominous form.

With 17 scalps at an average of 18.88, Chawla is currently the joint-third-highest wicket-taker in the tournament.

Whenever Rohit Sharma has been in need of a wicket, he has turned to Chawla and the experienced tweaker has delivered more often than not.

The all-time third-highest wicket-taker in IPL history with 174 scalps, the 34-year-old will be rearing to continue his impressive run with the ball and put the GT batting unit under pressure in Mumbai.
