Gujarat Titans enter the Eliminator with a lot to prove and plenty still to play for. After a commanding season where they looked like strong contenders for a top-two finish, a couple of stumbles towards the end saw them drop to third place. A crushing 83-run loss against CSK in their final league match has raised questions about their momentum and mindset going into the playoffs.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians ended up finishing fourth in the points table. Their journey has been anything but smooth, marred by inconsistency and questions about their balance. Yet, as history shows, MI are not to be taken lightly when the playoffs begin.
