Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments & Reasoning

“We will bowl first. So far so good. We have a good desired start in IPL. We have to maintain the momentum. The players should stick to the present and be proactive. The pitch looks dry, and with the dew coming in, it will get better,” Shreys Iyer said.

MI skipper Hardik Pandya would have bowled first as well.

“We would have bowled first as well, so it is a good toss to lose. We have played decent cricket, but it is important to capitalise on big moments. As a group, we know that there is a need to stop the flow of the runs,” he said.
