Two changes for Mumbai Indians as Nehal Wadhera comes in for Romario Shepherd and Piyush Chawla for Shreyas Gopal. For Royals Sandeep Sharma comes in for Kuldeep Sen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya said, \u201cWe are gonna bat first, looks like a good wicket. It's a very surreal feeling to play the 100th game for the franchise, started my journey with MI, I'm very grateful. We got three changes - Nuwan, Wadhera and Piyush Chawla come in. Shepherd, Madhwal, and Shreyas Gopal go out.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson said, \u201cWe had a slightly different idea about the toss so it\u2019s okay. You know the nature of the tournament, it\u2019s a very long tournament, we had a five-day break, and we discussed our plans, it\u2019s about focusing about the system and the process. We have played lots of games here; we know how the wicket behaves. MI are known to come back hard in the tournament, so we have to play well. We have had Sandeep Sharma back to our side and Kuldeep Sen misses out.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
