The pacer will be expected to play a crucial role for the Mumbaikars. In the recently concluded series against England, Bumrah showcased his prowess. His six-wicket haul which bamboozled the English batting lineup was an exceptional spell to watch out for.

Mumbai Indians will play their first match against Gujarat Titans. The match is scheduled to be played on March 22 at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

The match has gained more hype due to Hardik Pandya's return to former franchise Mumbai Indians. Also, Pandya replacing Rohit Sharma as the Mumbai Indians captain was the talk of the town.

Hardik Pandya who captained Gujarat Titans in the previous two years won the maiden IPL trophy for the franchise in its debut year. IN 2023, the Titans were defeated in the finals against Chennai Super Kings.

Ahead of the IPL 2024, Shubman Gill is named the new skipper of Gujarat Titans. The sensational right-hander finished as the league's highest run-scorer (890) in the 2023 edition. The 24-year-old will be excited to lead the Titans in IPL 2024.
