MI Playing XI vs GT: MI vs GT LIVE – Tilak Varma will make a return to the Mumbai Indians side as they face off against Gujarat Titans on Friday. With the playoff race getting tougher, Varma’s return is a huge boost for Rohit Sharma as they face Hardik Pandya’s defending champions. Rohit himself is struggling for form and could drop down the order for the game. Follow Indian Premier League LIVE Updates on Insidesport.IN
Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Ishan Kishan(w), Rohit Sharma(c), Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, Nehal Wadhera, Tim David, Chris Jordan, Vishnu Vinod, Piyush Chawla, Jason Behrendorff, Kumar Kartikeya
Subs: Ramandeep Singh, Akash Madhwal, Dewald Brevis, Sandeep Warrier, Hrithik Shokeen
Tilak Varma had missed the last two games due to injury. One of MI’s in-form batters, his return is a huge uplift for the MI side who aim to confirm their playoff spot. In Tilak’s absence, Nehal Wadhera has scored back-to-back half-centuries and should retain his place in the side. With Kishan, Tilak, Wadhera and Suryakumar all firing, Mumbai have an envious batting line up.
Captain Rohit Sharma has however struggled for form. The MI skipper could thus drop down in the batting order. Rohit has previously batted at 3 this season, with Cameron Green promoted higher up. A similar strategy could be employed on Friday.

Bowling has been the Achilles heel for Mumbai Indians this season. Piyush Chawla has been impressive, while a lot will ride on the likes of Jason Behrendorff and Chris Jordan. Riley Meredith could also get a look in should he be fit for the clash.
