Here's what MI captain Hardik Pandya and CSK captain MS Dhoni said at the MI vs CSK IPL 2025 match toss:

MS Dhoni: We were looking to bowl first. The main reason is because dew has already started to set in. We are the bottom most team in the table, looking too far ahead will not help us, take one game at a time and keep pushing. We have to play bold cricket but at the same time the batters have to realise what your strengths are, same with the bowlers - that's what we have been telling the departments. The fielding is one area where we haven't taken good catches, coming to the other two departments - we need partnerships while batting or bowling. We have one change - Ayush comes in for Tripathi.

Hardik Pandya: We are gonna bowl first. It looks like a very good wicket. Same wicket we played against RCB. That gives us a chance to look at the wicket, identify our plans. It has a good covering of grass and will be a good batting wicket. Just executing our plans and keep doing what's working for us. That's exciting, we have not played to our potential and gives us an opportunity every game to play to our potential. The man behind me everyone knows how exciting when he comes, CSK v MI is always exciting. Same team.
