Five-time champion Mumbai Indians leave for Ahmedabad ahead of their Indian Premier League (IPL) opener clash against Gujarat Titans which will be played at Narendra Modi Stadium on March 24 Sunday.
A video is going viral on social media claiming that Hardik Pandya-led MI have started traveling to Ahmedabad for the IPL opener, here is the clip:
Long before starting its IPL 2024 campaign, MI had been in the news due to trading in Hardik Pandya and making him the captain in place of Rohit Sharma, which brought varied reactions from all quarters. The side has also boosted its overseas fast-bowling resources in Gerald Coetzee, and Dilshan Madushanka, who had been in injuries of late.
By adding in Mohammad Nabi, Romario Shepherd and Shreyas Gopal, MI still look as one of the most well-balanced teams in IPL 2024, which complements the likes of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Tilak Varma, Kumar Kartikeya Singh, Nehal Wadhera and Piyush Chawla.
Though they will be missing Suryakumar Yadav (return date yet to be known) and Jason Behrendorff, expect MI to set their house in order with Hardik as the leader and all-rounder to aim for winning their sixth IPL title.
