MI Vs CSK: Captain's quote

Hardik Pandya (MI Captain): "We will bowl first. The wicket looks a bit different than the last game and we expect a lot of runs and yes just making sure we tick all the basics, which we did pretty well in the last game. Winning is very important for the momentum and morale of the team and yes we were able to win convicingly in the last couple of games, but at the same time for us it's important to start afresh and do the basics right. "


Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK Captain): "Pretty much the same! We would have bowled first as well. You know, this (toss) is something we can't control.Coming into any game, you need to do well in all three departments- batting, bowling and fielding."
