Toss:ย MI opts to bat.
Rohit Sharma: We are going to bat first, no choice. The numbers are pretty scary, but we are going to give it all. Let's hope we can come out and do what we love to do. It's essential to enjoy the game as well. It's been an on and off season for us. It is an excellent opportunity for us to do something that's never been done before. Our batters haven't come collectively and performed as a team in the UAE leg. But, these guys have done exceedingly well for their respective teams. It just can happen. Two changes: Getting Krunal and Piyush Chawla back. No Tiwary and Jayant Yadav.
Manish Pandey: My first game as IPL captain. Last-minute call. Kane had a niggle on his elbow; Bhuvi has a niggle too. We would have batted first, too. We will look to bowl first and look to give Bombay a slight chance. I know they are going to come to all guns blazing, but we are ready.
