MI Vs RCB: Captain's quote
Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers Bengaluru Captain): "We will try hard to change a few things around. We have decided to give new guys opportunities. We have a nice young group and trying to bring in the fresh faces. In the tournament, you have to make sure that you give the players enough matches. We haven't played our best cricket yet. This will be the sixth game and this will be the right time to make those changes."
Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians Captain): "We've gotta bowl first. It looks like a similar track to what we played in Delhi but just keeping the weather in mind. In the evening it might get a little better to bat on, we would like to chase."
