MI’s Hardik Pandya, back from injury, made a crucial decision by winning the toss on a new black-soil pitch in Ahmedabad. He chose to bowl first against GT.
As reported by Michael Clarke, the pitch seems to have two different speeds and a score of 180 could be considered average.
In addition, Hardik will take the place of Will Jacks while Mujeeb Ur Rahman steps in for left-arm wristspinner Vignesh Puthur, who had a remarkable three-wicket haul in the last match. It is expected that Robin Minz will serve as their Impact Player.
