Gujarat Titans very nearly made it two Championships out of two tournaments in the IPL and there is no doubt that their strong squad of players will be very competitive once again in 2024. The Titans, led by Shubman Gill, with explosive David Miller, also boast talents like Wriddhiman Saha, Rashid Khan, and Vijay Shankar, while Josh Little and Noor Ahmad lead the bowling attack for a well-rounded team.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians lost just two of their final seven group stage games last season and are expected to be one of the strongest teams this season. The Indians are led by Hardik Pandya in IPL 2024. The all-rounder has left GT to join his former franchise. He will lead the side with former skipper Rohit Sharma, who is also part of the team. MI have a powerful set of batters in their squad. They have two key bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Piyush Chawla. However, they have some new bowling members in their squad.
