There is a possibility that Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya might return to Mumbai Indians and the star all-rounder will be traded with Rohit to lead the franchise.

In one of the first moves to bolster their side after failing to go all the way in the IPL 2023 season, Mumbai Indians have bought Romario Shepherd from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)

Lasith Malinga will replace Shane Bond.

For the unversed, both Jemimah and Arjun are friends since their Under-12 days and trained together under the same coach.

The win also meant that Gujarat entered the IPL final for the second successive time and will meet Chennai Super Kings in Sunday's title clash at the same venue, with a chance of defending their trophy.

In a video recently uploaded by Mumbai Indians (MI) on their Twitter handle, Surya is found asking for a lemon from one of the air hostesses and squeezing it on the mouth of sleeping Tilak Varma.

In the video, it is found that co-owner of the team - Nita Ambani is asking Tendulkar to say few words on MI’s victory. In reply, the former India captain termed it as the ‘the best gift’ that he could get on his anniversary.

In the all important Eliminator, Madhwal equalled the record of India spin legend Anil Kumble.

Mumbai were also aided by three hara-kiri run-outs from Lucknow's batting to book their spot in Qualifier 2, where they will face defending champions Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday.

Mumbai Indians need to win this match by a big margin and hope that Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) either lose their match or have a no-result in their encounter with Gujarat Titans in Bangalore in the second match of the day.

Hearing the unusual request, Rohit is left in shock. However, he handles the situation with grace and asked the fan to move aside to let him go.

While SRH and Delhi Capitals (DC) have already been eliminated from the playoff race, Gujarat Titans (GT) have confirmed a top two finish.

LSG's move to promote Deepak Hooda did not pay off. Prerak Mankad and Quinton de Kock were dismissed cheaply as well and the hosts were tottering at 35/3. Krunal and Stoinis then got together and forged a solid recovery with an 82-run stand.

Nehal Wadhera had to wear the batting pads over his trousers as a punishment that was given to him by his franchise for getting late to the batters meeting.

Even former opener Virender Sehwag wrote, “This kid is special. Thoroughly enjoyed his clean striking.” He is indeed the next big thing in the cricket world.
