In the spotlight - Hardik Pandya and Aiden Markram

In his first match as Mumbai Indians captain, Hardik Pandya travelled to the home of the team he first led in the IPL, and found himself booed at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad had the same yet contrasting outcomes. While both lost their opening games of the 2024 Indian Premier League to their respective opponents by narrow margins, one team looked threatening while the other just gift-wrapped the match to their opponents. SRH almost chased down KKR's mighty total before Harshit Rana delivered a super final over for KKR. Meanwhile, MI stuttered and failed to knock off 43 in the last five overs to go down by six runs..

Despite coming close, the fact remains that neither team is yet to get off the mark on the points table. It may still be early days in the competition but no one wants to play catch up, and that's something that would be on SRH and MI's minds as they try to outdo each other in tonight's match from the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Expect the crowd to show their support for SRH, but at the same time, show their hostility towards MI, and Hardik Pandya in particular. Somehow, someway, the entire Indian cricket fan community hasn't warmed up to Hardik and it will be a real surprise if the narrative changes tonight.

Mumbai Indians have made a reputation of being a slow starters in the IPL, but Hardik Pandya would be determined to challenge that narrative as they prepare to face SRH. The recent stellar performances of Hardik's most trusted players in the lineup would only add to the side's confidence as they take on Pat Cummins' men. Rohit Sharma showcased his form with a composed 43-run innings in MI's opening game, while Jasprit Bumrah's return after a year's absence in the IPL due to injury was marked by exceptional figures of 3/14 in four overs. Additionally, Dewald Brevis contributed a vital 46 runs, yet MI anticipates even greater returns from their batting lineup as they gear up to confront SRH in Hyderabad.

Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad may have suffered a setback in their recent match against Kolkata Knight Riders, but they exhibited resilience and promise. Despite falling short at the finish line, Heinrich Klaasen's explosive innings of 63 runs off just 29 balls nearly engineered a remarkable comeback victory. The collective contribution of the batting unit demonstrated their capability to score, and as they prepare to face Mumbai Indians, SRH will be determined to harness this momentum.
