MI vs PBKS: Impact Players Nominated By MI and PBKS

Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss at his team’s home venue and decided to invite Punjab Kings to have a go with the bat first. The skipper also informed the presenters of some changes to the team for the game.

“We are going to have a bowl first. Really nice to have some wins under the belt, winning is always nice and the atmosphere is good but the job is not done. Quite surprisingly nice and pleasant. Looking forward to this game. We have had some injuries but Jofra is back and that is the only change. Wankhede is a good pitch to bat on and it gets better as the game goes on, hopefully we restrict them and chase it down later.”

Bad news for Punjab as regular skipper Shikhar Dhawan is still not out in the middle for the toss this time around as Sam Curran once again takes the reins. Sam Curran talked about batting first followed by the changes to his team and Dhawan’s injury update.

“Back to back games and not much time to think about it. No Shikhar, that’s why I am here but he’s recovering and should be back soon. Great opportunity for the others to put their hand and we are going with the same team. Lot of close games for us. We would have bowled as well, that is the trend but hopefully we do well. Have a good powerplay and then take it from there.”
