Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium: Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to field first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in match 41 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, here at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.

Hyderabad have made one change as Mohammad Shami misses out and Jaydev Unadkat come in. For Mumbai Indians, Vignesh Puthur comes in for Ashwani Kumar.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Pat Cummins said, "One change for us - Shami goes out. It is a cause for optimism, we know this surface and ground really well. We've played some really good cricket this year. It has been heartbreaking for us as well, our thoughts are with the victims and their families."

After a poor start to the season, Mumbai Indians have roared back into form having won three straight games on the trot. With a spot in the playoffs on the lines in the coming weeks, the visitors will hope to continue their momentum.

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya said, "Feels good (on the applause). I would like to pass my condolences to the victims of the terrorist attack. We'll bowl first. Looks like a good track, just one change for us - Vignesh comes in for Ashwani. We need to just execute our plans and take the game as simply as possible, plan properly."
