MI vs SRH: Toss Update

MI vs SRH: What did the captains say?

Hardik Pandya, MI Captain

We’re going to bat first. Looks like a good, breezy day, as you mentioned, slightly cold compared to generally. I don’t think dew will be a factor, we’re gonna keep in mind and we’re just gonna bat and see how much we can score. (on the preparations) I think it was important for all of us to just reset, not get too complicated, just have a couple of good boys’ evenings, which we had as a group. And we’ve had a good couple of sessions. So just ticked all the boxes, which I felt as a group we felt that can, you know, refresh the boys now just excited for the game. Mitchell (Santner) was unfortunate, and so was Quinny today. He just did something to his wrist. We have a couple of changes for this team. Ryan (Rickelton) comes in place of Quinny. We’ve got Robin Minz. Rohit’s gonna take a couple of more games. He’s been trying, it’s not up to exactly where he would want, so not available for the team. Absolutely (on his form). We just want to kind of come out and play the best cricket I know as well. That will definitely help the group and the team.

Pat Cummins, SRH Captain

We would have bowled, looks slightly tacky, so happy. You need to reset your expectations, this pitch might ask you to do something different. At this stage, just one change. Harsh Dubey comes in place of Shivang. Hopefully, the team trusts what I says, since I bowl, I pick-up the information.
