Last year's runners-up, Gujarat Titans, will lock horns with five-time winners Mumbai Indians in match number five of the ongoing IPL 2024 season on March 24 at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Led by newly appointed skipper Shubman Gill and bolstered by a couple of new additions to the franchise, a new-look Gujarat Titans unit will aim to gain some early momentum in this competition.
The Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, will be commanded by former Titans skipper Hardik Pandya, who took over Rohit Sharma's decade-long role a couple of months ago.
