Impact Player Strategy
Titans will likely swap No. 3 batter Sai Sudharsan and left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore as impact players depending on when they bat and bowl. They will have choose between Kane Williamson, who offers experience in the middle order, and Afghanistan allrounder Azmatullah Omarzai, who offers a sixth bowling option, as their fourth overseas player.
Possible XII: 1 Shubman Gill (capt), 2 Wriddhiman Saha (wk), 3 B Sai Sudharsan, 4 Azmatullah Omarzai/Kane Williamson, 5 David Miller, 6 Shahrukh Khan, 7 Rahul Tewatia, 8 Rashid Khan, 9 Umesh Yadav, 10 Spencer Johnson, 11 Mohit Sharma, 12 R Sai Kishore
Mumbai's injuries have unsettled what was a pretty settled first XI. Tim David is the only lock-in overseas player. They can choose between allrounders Romario Shepherd/Mohammad Nabi for the second spot, fast bowlers Nuwan Thushara, Mphaka, and Wood for the third, while Dewald Brevis could come in as an impact player to strengthen the batting if needed.
Possible XII: 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Ishan Kishan (wk), 3 Tilak Varma, 4 Hardik Pandya (capt), 5 Nehal Wadhera, 6 Tim David, 7 Romario Shepherd/Mohammad Nabi, 8 Piyush Chawla, 9 Jasprit Bumrah, 10 Nuwan Thushara/Kwena Mphaka/Luke Wood, 11 Kumar Kartikeya/Akash Madhwal, 12 Dewald Brevis
