There is very little time left for the start of IPL 2024. Let us tell you that the 17th season of IPL is starting from March 22. The first match will be played between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

However, before the start of the tournament, former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has selected the probable playing eleven of five-time champions Mumbai Indians. Let us tell you that in the upcoming IPL season, Mumbai Indians will be seen playing their first match against Gujarat Titans on March 24 in search of their sixth title. This match between the two teams will be played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Aakash Chopra chose the probable team of Mumbai Indians

Let us tell you that before the start of the tournament, Aakash Chopra said in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – Ishan Kishan will be seen opening with Rohit Sharma. I think you should keep Suryakumar Yadav at number 3 because you should not send him below that. Their new captain Hardik Pandya is at number 4. I am placing Tilak Verma at number 5 and Tim David at number 6.

Chopra further said- Mohammad Nabi is in amazing form in batting. You can also keep him in the team because he is also an off-spinner. Then you’ve got Romario Shepherd, Gerald Coetzee, Nuwan Thushara and Luke Wood, you can play any two of them. Then you have Jasprit Bumrah and Piyush Chawla.
