Mumbai, May 6 Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 55 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at Wankhede Stadium here on Monday.
Mumbai Indians made one change in their Playing XI, handing a debut to Anshul Kamboj, who comes in place of Gerald Coetzee.
Pandya said, "The wickets look fresh and might have something for the new ball. We want to make sure we use it. One change: Gerald misses out and Anshul Kamboj makes his debut," said Pandya during the toss.
Sunrisers Hyderabad too made a change, bringing in Mayank Agarwal into the playing XI to bat at No.3.
"We have got Mayank Agarwal back, batting at No.3. We have got four games left and probably need to win two to make it to the top four but we cannot think too far ahead. Too much blue in the stands and not much orange, it's going to be noisy, I think. Wankhede always has been like that," said Pat Cummins.
