Key Points

The rain poured just after the toss, which the PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to bowl first.

After winning the toss, Shreyas said, "We are going to bowl first. Slightly overcast, and the wicket was under the covers yesterday. Based on these, we are going to bowl first. It's a fresh day. We've recovered pretty well and rejuvenated, and our mindset is to go out there and win. Boys are in high spirits, and everyone's thinking positively. The environment in the dressing room is top-notch at the moment, so I can't complain much. Yuzi comes in."

At the time of toss, MI skipper Hardik Pandya said,"We also would have bowled first. We need to bat well and assess the conditions. It has got flatter. If you bowl well, you'll get some help. In a lot of areas, we could have got better. One day break, it's tough, but we know what to execute. We came very early in the morning after the game, and most of the guys focused on recovery. We had to make one change. Topley comes in, Gleeson has a niggle."
