IPL 2026 GT vs MI Playing 11: Danish Malewar Makes Debut
IPL 2026 GT vs MI Playing 11: Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans will square off against Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians in the 30th match of the IPL 2026 on April 20 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
Despite a solid start, the Mumbai Indians had a tough outing searching for their second win in the ongoing season. Out of 5 games, they have only one victory.
Meanwhile, the Gujarat Titans have 3 wins out of five games and will be aiming for a win to make a further move to the top in the points table.
With the Mumbai Indians sinking to the bottom, the Gujarat Titans are in the 6th position of the IPL 2026 points table.
Gujarat Titans won the toss and opted to bat. Speaking at the toss, GT captain Shubman Gill said, “It looks like a decent wicket, honestly. There was a bit of dew in the last match. So just in case there is today, I think it would make more sense. Always good to have a target on the board and then try to chase it down.”
“I think the way we have been bowling up front has been a huge positive for us, even in the last match and the game before that. So hopefully we continue with our bowling rhythm up front and then in the middle overs, Rashid Khan has been really good for us.”
“So hopefully we all continue in the same manner. Always good to have some runs on the belt and in a tournament like IPL, a long tournament, if you start well, you can really, really have a good season,”
“And that’s what I will strive for. Always a good challenge to play against them. I think they are a solid team and hopefully it’s going to be a good match. We’re going with the same team,” concluded Shubman Gill.

Meanwhile, MI Captain Hardik pandya said, “We would have fielded as well. It’s obviously the last game for us as a group. We had to regroup and speak about what Mumbai Indians stands for and what kind of game we want to play. And we had a good amount of chats. People are looking forward to the game.”
“There will be tough times, but yeah, just stand with each other and go out and play some good cricket. I think we need to play overall better cricket, I can’t pinpoint one factor. As I’ve said earlier, we win together, we lose together. So as a group, we need to get better. It’s a fresh day. Sun has risen again and just a positive way.”
“A couple of debuts for us. Danish (Malewar) makes his Mumbai Indians debut. And Krish Bhagat as well, who was part of the support bowlers, really impressed us. He got into the team three days back and such is life that he’s playing today,” concluded Pandya.
