Here's What Both Skipper Said During Toss

Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians Captain):

"We are gonna bowl first. This looks like a good track. Dew might come in later. Keeping it safe. When the wicket is cool, it's stays good. Sometimes when dew comes, it gets better. I haven't seen it otherwise. Definitely. It's time for us to take some rhythm. We are playing good cricket but at some moments, we are missing on some things. Play smart cricket and try to get some momentum."

"Obviously, Mumbai has always been supporting us. We have made sure that this is our fortress and we are eager to make it. It makes a good chance for us to play good cricket and entertain the crowd. As I think many of us were waiting, Jasprit is back and so is Ro. Two of our most experienced campaigners are back."

Rajat Patidar (Royal Challengers Bengaluru Captain):

"We would have chased as well but the surface looks hard and good to bat. Typical Mumbai wicket so good to bat. For us it's not important to look at the points table but important to play good cricket. [The department that needs work.] The bowling unit. It's very difficult to bowl at this track but I am pretty much confident with our bowling unit."

"[On playing in different venues] It doesn't play too much in my mind because we have played too much cricket in every venue in India. We are playing the same team."
