This is one of the most highly-anticipated clashes of the first round of fixtures, as it sees Hardik Pandya return to Ahmedabad as MI captain, for the first time since his move from Gujarat in November. All eyes will also be on Rohit Sharma, Mumbai's former captain and Shubman Gill, Gujarat's new captain.
Is there an opening ceremony ahead of GT vs MI IPL 2024 clash?
One day before the match, GT made an announcement on their social media channels, saying that there would be a special opening ceremony at the stadium ahead of the match.

The official opening ceremony for the IPL took place on Friday in Chennai, ahead of the first match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
It was also in Ahmedabad that there was a special ceremony ahead of the India vs Pakistan World Cup match last year.
Further details on the ceremony have not yet been provided by GT, but they are not the first team to hold an inauguration of sorts this year. RCB held an 'Unbox' event at their home ground before their first match, which also saw their women's team show off their Women's Premier League (WPL) trophy.
What time does the IPL 2024 match between GT and MI start?
The IPL 2024 match between GT and MI will begin at 7:30 PM IST. The opening ceremony arranged by GT is set to begin at 6:00 PM.
