IPL 2016, Match 9, Pick of the tweets: Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Lions at Mumbai

The ninth game of the Indian Premier League 2016 is scheduled to be played between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Lions at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday. The game is expected to be a nail-biting one with Mumbai Indians having a slight advantage of playing at the home ground. Gujarat Lions are pumped with confidence after winning both their matches and are currently placed at the top of the table.

Mumbai Indians on the other hand have bounced back hard after losing their opening game against Rising Pune Supergiants. They have some match winning players in the form of Rohit Sharma who has been in scintillating form and Jos Buttler and Kieron Pollard to name a few.

Gujarat Lions will be heavily banking on their explosive opening pair of Aaron Finch and Brendon McCullum who have the ability to put the opposition under pressure right from the outset. Gujarat Lions will be missing the services of their all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja as he will be tying the nuptial knot tomorrow. GL have won the toss and elected to bowl first. Like always, we bring you the live updates and the best tweets from the cyberspace.

Looking at the way #MI are batting, they might just have to substitute Lasith Malinga in between innings if they want to win. #MIvGL — David De Mata-gasm (@Chaseeism) April 16, 2016

Even the lions are playing dominantly in the home of @mipaltan #MIvGL — The Gujarat Lions (@TheGujaratLoins) April 16, 2016
