Kagiso Rabada anchors Gujarat Titans’ bowling attack as they host Mumbai Indians in Ahmedabad, with the sides heading in opposite directions.

Gujarat have found rhythm after an inconsistent start, winning three matches in a row. Their stability has been a key factor, with a settled XI and consistent returns from both batting and bowling units.

Rabada has been central to that balance, forming part of the most effective pace attack in the competition, with Gujarat’s seamers leading the league in wickets and maintaining the best average among all teams.

Mumbai arrive under pressure. They have lost four successive matches and continue to search for consistency, particularly with the ball. Their fast bowlers have struggled for control, with the unit conceding at a significantly higher average than any other side in the tournament.

Conditions in Ahmedabad are expected to favour batting, with high first-innings totals common.

Gujarat’s structure gives them the edge, but Rabada’s impact with the ball remains key as they look to extend their winning run.
