Gujarat Lions will take on Mumbai Indians in the 54th game of the Indian Premier League at Kanpur on Saturday. It’s a decisive game for both the teams and MI are a desperate for a win in order to reserve a berth in the playoffs. The outfield is huge at Kanpur and will test the hitting abilities of the star studded sides.
GL have a formidable side with the likes of Brendon McCullum, Dwayne Smith, Suresh Raina, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja and Aaron Finch. They will bank on their batting order to bail them out and get some huge runs in the crucial encounter. MI on the other hand will hope their skipper Rohit Sharma to fire along with Martin Guptill.
MI posses some lethal bowling and will hold the key in this game for them. The likes of Harbhajan Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mitchell McClenaghan and Krunal Pandya inspire immense confidence.

In this season Hardik Pandya cant even bat cant even bowl and cant even field as well. #GLvMI — Abhi. #DilSeIndian (@imAbhijeet0803) May 21, 2016
Amazing hitting from @ImRaina and Mccullum. @TheGujaratLions look all poised to finish in the top two. Fantastic debut season so far. — Boria Majumdar (@BoriaMajumdar) May 21, 2016
27 Off 12 Balls! Bumrah Is All Set For His Half-Century. 😉#RPSvKXIP #IPL2016 #IPL9 #IPL #GLvMI — Sir Ravindra Jadeja (@SirJadeja) May 21, 2016
Gujarat Lions are the only team to score 70 or more runs in the Powerplays in this IPL and they have done it FOUR times! #GLvMI — Bharath Seervi (@SeerviBharath) May 21, 2016
McClenaghan and Krunal Pandya have been outstanding for MI with the ball this season. Today, they are taking a beating. #GLvMI — Cricket Rants (@CricketRants) May 21, 2016
Mc Cullum on those shots ! Instant Goosebumps #GLvMI Ah love it ! — ॐStacey Lalchanॐ (@staceylalchan2) May 21, 2016
This is net practice for Brendon McCullum! Easy peasy!#IPL #GLvMI — HoldingWilleyCricket (@holdingwilley) May 21, 2016
Two balls that told the Pandyas’ story in IPL9. While Hardik’s let chances slip through the legs; Krunal’s jumped at every 1 of them #GLvMI — Bharat Sundaresan (@beastieboy07) May 21, 2016
#Raina just required 11 runs to become 2nd batsman after #RohitSharma to score more than 350 runs in 9 IPL seasons #GLvMI #IPL2016 — Harendra Tomar (@harendratomar) May 21, 2016
Shreyas Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane and Aaron Finch are the only players to get 2 ducks as openers in this IPL. #GLvMI — Bharath Seervi (@SeerviBharath) May 21, 2016
Seems Like Nitish Rana Stole Krunal Pandya’s Meal Before The Match. 🙂 @mipaltan #RPSvKXIP #IPL2016 #IPL9 #IPL #GLvMI — Vishwendra singh (@pratapvishnu21) May 21, 2016
After playing in 101 IPL games and bowling 343 overs, Vinay Kumar finally has bowled a maiden over. #IPL #GLvMI — Sampath (@SAMPATHB24) May 21, 2016
Our Player in the Spotlight Suresh Raina is at the crease already! He did’t expect to come to the crease so early!#IPL #GLvMI — HoldingWilleyCricket (@holdingwilley) May 21, 2016
Vinay Kumar becomes the first Indian pacer to pick 100 wickets in IPL. #IPL #GLvMI — Sampath (@SAMPATHB24) May 21, 2016
I truley feel that #MI batsmen have taken pressure of SidhuPaaji’s commentary, wanting to prove each n every word he speks…#GLvMI — UrsUmesh (@ParseUmesh) May 21, 2016
Good comeback by Gujarat after it seemed Mumbai might top 200. Opening pair of McCullum and Smith could have decisive influence — Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) May 21, 2016
PK bowled very well this season…good to see him bowling those swingers & yorkers #GLvMI — #RCB #PlayBold (@sarvesh_kharde) May 21, 2016

Nitish Rana did the job of keeping the left arm spinners out of the game. But overs 18/19 brilliant by Gujarat Lions — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) May 21, 2016
Against all odds like inexperience and a tough pitch to bat on,Nitish Rana has pulled out a spectacular batting show#GLvMI — vikas chauhan (@rajputszapp) May 21, 2016
Now that is a brilliant innings from Nitish Rana for @mipaltan giving them a chance. Good to see Indian youngsters do well under pressure. — Boria Majumdar (@BoriaMajumdar) May 21, 2016

This is a flatish pitch alright but it’s a pressure game too. 180 could make for an even contest. #IPL2016 #IPL9 #GLvMI — Suneer (@suneerchowdhary) May 21, 2016
Wow, Dwayne Bravo took that like Amit Mishra.#GLvMI — Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) May 21, 2016
Still unable to understand what is so different about IPL that doesn’t happen in Big Bash League. (except fixing)#GLvMI — Kanjar Putar (@kanjardaputar) May 21, 2016
Yep, that’s really changing the momentum. #GL would love to keep picking wickets but who in their line-up can?#IPL2016 #IPL9 #GLvMI — Suneer (@suneerchowdhary) May 21, 2016
Nitish Rana hit the most sixes in Syed Mustaq Ali Trophy 2015/16 – 21. Has hit 2 sixes so far in this match. #GLvMI — Bharath Seervi (@SeerviBharath) May 21, 2016
