NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl against Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League on Friday.
The Titans brought in Josh Little and Sai Sudarshan in place of Dasun Shanaka and Darshan Nalkande.
Mumbai replaced Hrithik Shokeen with Kumar Kartikeya.
"We are gonna chase. The pitch looks a little sticky. We can make best use of the pitch. The pitch will get better as the game goes on. It's our comfort, what we want to do. We've chased well this season. This is a different team, we have a lot of new faces in the squad. As a team, we've come across many situations like this. It's important to put your best foot forward. There were a bit of nerves at the start of the tournament, but it's settled now. Just one change. Shokeen misses out, Kumar Kartikeya comes in," Rohit Sharma said after winning the toss.
"We would have bowled as well, but it's okay. Knockouts and qualifiers are fun, you have to be on your A game. It's important to enjoy. If we can play everything, we'll be satisfied irrespective of the result. I know how the crowd is going to support us. Gujarati people are loyal. (Will you bowl?) Yeah, full throttle. Two changes. Josh Little and Sai Sudharsan come in for Shanaka and Nalkande," Hardik Pandya said at the toss.
Squads:
Mumbai Indians: Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma (c), Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Tim David, Chris Jordan, Piyush Chawla, Jason Behrendorff, Kumar Kartikeya, Akash Madhwal.
