Former West Indies and RCB batter, Chris Gayle, weighed in on the crucial clash between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Titans (GT) in the IPL 2023, emphasizing the impact of MI’s winning streak and the home advantage for GT. Gayle acknowledged the challenge ahead for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) if MI makes it to the finals.
“They’re (MI) going to GT’s hometown (Ahmedabad), so that’s going to be a big plus for them. That’s something we have to take into consideration. But the momentum is now with Mumbai. Is Mumbai going all the way to the final? If they do, CSK doesn’t want to see a team like Mumbai,” stated Gayle on JioCinema.
Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians have been riding high with two comprehensive wins in their recent outings. Their remarkable 81-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator secured their place in Qualifier 2, setting the stage for a thrilling encounter.
As they gear up to face Gujarat Titans at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on May 26, Mumbai Indians will strive to extend their dominance. Having won two out of three meetings with Gujarat Titans in the IPL, Mumbai holds a slight advantage in their head-to-head record.
The defending champions are determined to unleash their firepower and secure a spot in the final against CSK. With their sights set on a record-extending sixth title, Rohit Sharma and his team are poised to spoil the yellow outfit’s celebrations.
“The journey has been incredible so far, and we want to continue the momentum. We know Gujarat Titans are a strong team, but we are prepared and confident in our abilities,” expressed Rohit Sharma, looking ahead to the crucial clash.
