Rickelton has played a key role in their turnaround this season. He has scored 334 runs from 11 games at an average of 33.40 and a strike-rate of 153.91 with three half-centuries. He is also their second-highest run-getter so far this season.

As Mumbai aim to carry on their winning run and further solidify their position on the points table, they will want Rickelton to build on his performance with the bat from the previous game.

GT wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler has also been in excellent form with the bat this season. He has scored 470 runs from 10 games at an average of 78.33 and a strike-rate of 169.06 with five half-centuries.

In the last match against SunRisers Hyderabad, Buttler made 64 runs off 37 balls including three boundaries and four sixes at a strike-rate of 172.97. With the likes of Sai Sudharsan and skipper Shubman Gill scoring consistently, Buttler also scoring runs has been a huge strength for Gujarat.

The right-hander has played for MI in the past and will be aware of the conditions at the Wankhede Stadium. Buttler firing and continuing his bright form with the bat will be vital if they have to beat an in-form Mumbai side.

The right-hander has plundered 475 runs from 11 games at an average of 67.85 with a strike-rate of 172.72 including three half-centuries. In the previous game against SRH as well, he smashed an unbeaten 23-ball 48, hitting four boundaries and three sixes at a strike-rate of 208.7.

Suryakumar Yadav's form will be crucial for Mumbai, particularly playing at home against GT, who have a solid bowling attack with the likes of Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Rashid Khan, and Sai Kishore.
