IPL 2024: RR vs MI, Match 38: Who said what at the toss?

Hardik Pandya | MI captain: We are gonna bat first, looks like a good wicket, we didn’t see dew in the last couple of days hence the decision to bat first. It’s a very surreal feeling to play my 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.

Sanju Samson | RR captain: We had a slightly different idea about the toss so it’s okay. You know the nature of the tournament, it’s a very long tournament, we had a five day break and we discussed about our plans, it’s 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.
