Mumbai Indians (MI) would want to end their losing streak in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 when they face the Gujarat Titans (GT) on Monday, April 20, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The five-time champions currently find themselves at the bottom of the points table. They have won one game and lost four. On the other hand, the Gujarat Titans started with consecutive defeats, but have bounced back emphatically to register three wins in a row.
Mumbai Indians have a very strong squad, with stars aplenty and immense depth. However, they have not fired as a unit. Skipper Hardik Pandya will have to instil belief in his side and hope that the players deliver one strong performance, which can help them turn things around.
Here is MI’s strongest predicted XI vs GT, Match 30, IPL 2026:
Top Order: Quinton de Kock (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Naman Dhir
Quinton de Kock replaced Rohit Sharma in the last game and slammed a stunning century. In 60 balls, he remained unbeaten on 112. He will want to put in another strong shift on Monday. However, his compatriot, Ryan Rickelton, could get the axe after having blown hot and cold so far. This will allow Mumbai to go in with two overseas spinners. Naman Dhir or Suryakumar Yadav could open the batting with de Kock. While Suryakumar was dismissed for a golden duck in the last game, Dhir notched up a half-century.
