If we talk about the match, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bat first. After winning the toss, the captain of Mumbai Indians said- “We will bat first. As you mentioned, today is looking nice and breezy, and a little cooler than usual. I don’t think dew will create any problem, we will keep that in mind and just bat and see how much we can score. Now we are just excited for the match. Mitchell (Santner) had bad luck, and the same happened with Quinny today. His wrist is slightly injured. We have made some changes in the team. Ryan Richlton has come into the team in place of Quinny. We also have Robinhood. It will take a few more matches for Rohit to recover.”

Two changes in SRH

At the same time, the captain of Sunriders Hyderabad said after the toss – ‘It seems that there may be some moisture in the wicket, so I am happy to bowl first. I think in every match you have to reset your expectations. There are usually a lot of runs here, so just try to show your skills, don’t think too much about it. You know, maybe this pitch demands something different from you in this match, so just play with a clear mind. Harsh Dubey has come into the team in place of Shivang Kumar. Hopefully they will believe what I say, because I am also bowling with them. So obviously when I bowl on the pitch, I keep getting information about the conditions there. And I have also gone through this phase. In the past too, a lot of runs have been scored in my overs. So, if it ever happens, I encourage them and hope they get some sympathy from me.”
