What did the captains say?
Shreyas Iyer (PBK)
We are going to bowl first. I let the action talk more than words. I will just give them some kind of inspiration and then it is their job to go and execute them. Jaimison and Vyashak come in. This (site) is preferably suitable for both sides due to circumstances; Wind factor and ground size. No, you can't take it as just another day, you have to keep upgrading your game and mindset, I am someone who is under pressure, you have to put your best leg ahead and there is no scope for errors at the same time.
Hardik Pandya (MI)
Looks like a good track, let's see. It is a good toss to lose; We were not sure what to do. We had no objection to either batting or bowling. We will score some runs and defend it. A lot of results for us to be in this situation had to go on our way, five days ago we were not in this position and today we are, but being honest in the last 8-9 games, we have been like a knockout for us. Just a change – Ashwani comes in Kumar.
