Here's what the two captains said at toss:

Rohit Sharma (Mumbai Indians Captain): "Yeah, we would have bowled as well. But it is a good pitch to bat on, so we will look to put runs on the board. Yeah, that is the only option left for us now. To be honest, we are doing well. The team is upbeat and will be looking to correct the things that we didn't at Bengaluru.

"We have one injury. I won't call it an injury rather I will call it a precautionary. Jofra Archer is not playing this game. The rest of the team is the same. We are back here at Wankhede after a while. The crowd are amazing here. We will look to do well."

MS Dhoni (Chennai Super Kings Captain): "We will bowl first. I think one of the most memorable venues. Not only because of the 2011 World Cup venue but also 2007 when we won and we came back and the kind of reception we got from Mumbai was fantastic. Overall it is a fantastic place to play cricket also the wickets are generally very good. It has plenty of pace and bounce so you can play your shots.

"It is good but we have some injury concerns so all the people are not available. Ben Stokes has an injury so he is not available. Moeen Ali is not available and in their place we have got Ajinkya Rahane and Dwaine Pretorius. Besides these two changes, we are playing the same XI."
