Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss against the defending champions and elected to have a go with the ball first, Rohit spoke about the changes to the team as.

“We are gonna bowl first. We saw the pitch yesterday, it was hard. They put a lot of water there. Want to make best use of the conditions since we think there’s going to be a bit of moisture. Start well early on and see where the game is heading. Games like that happen (loss against PBSK), we made some errors and we accepted that in the changing room.

“It’s important how you come back from that situation and what you’re going to plan for the next few games, that’s quite critical. We had a good chat and hopefully we can turn things around. We’ve got 2 changes – Hrithik Shokeen misses out from the last game. Kumar Kartikeya is going to play. Jofra is not well. Riley Meredith is back.”

GT skipper Hardik Pandya was up next as the GT captain talked about some changes to the team’s playing eleven heading into this fixture as Gujarat eye the top spot on the points table

“It (pitch) looks good, looks watery. It has been a belter though. The way we fought back, the last game we won but LSG dominated for 36 overs. Credit to the boys the way we came back. We showed what is never give up. Luck was on our side. We are playing the same team. Josh Little comes back for someone, that’s it.”
