IPL 2023: In Qualifier-2 of IPL 2023, there will be a clash between Mumbai Indians and defending champions Gujarat Titans on Friday. It is not going to be so easy for Hardik’s team to register a win in this match.
MI vs GT, Qualifier 2: The IPL 2023 qualifier match between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans is to be played on Friday (May 26). In this match, both the teams would like to win the final ticket, but it will not be that easy. On one hand, the Gujarat team has shown a great game in the current season, while on the other hand, Mumbai Indians have a great record in the playoff matches. In such a situation, a close fight can be seen between the two teams.
Even though this match is to be held at the home ground of Gujarat Titans, but these figures are in favor of Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians. Let us tell you that since 2017, the team of Mumbai Indians has not lost any match in the playoffs. In 2017, the team was defeated by Rising Pune Supergiants in Qualifier-1. However, even after this Mumbai managed to win the trophy. Since then, no one has been able to beat Mumbai Indians in the playoffs. After 2017, Mumbai has managed to reach the playoffs in 2019, 2020 and the current season 2023. During this the team has played 7 playoff matches.
Excellent record under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma
The Mumbai Indians team has become a record 5-time champion while playing under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Even though the team’s poor performance is seen many times in the league stage matches, but as soon as the team takes entry in the playoffs, it comes in a very lethal form. Under the captaincy of Rohit, the team has played 14 IPL playoffs so far, in which 11 have been won. If we talk about the IPL final, then Mumbai has managed to reach the final 6 times and the team has won the IPL trophy 5 times.
In such a situation, the mistake of taking Mumbai lightly can be huge for Gujarat.
