Captains at toss

Shreyas Iyer (PBKS captain): We would have bowled first as well. The wicket looks a bit drier. Still don't know how the pitch will play so just being positive about it. We should stop thinking about what has gone wrong. We have to think about being in good shape and having a positive mindset. Harpreet Brar, Xavier Bartlett and Azmatullah Omarzai come in.


Jasprit Bumrah (MI Captain): We have decided to bowl first. We saw the last game and felt maybe with the cold weather coming down the wicket will settle down. It feels good. I came here as a 19-year-old. I didn't think that I will be a Test captain before becoming MI captain (smiles). I like responsibility, this is a new challenge and I will look to have fun. As much as we can, we can three games left and we want to enjoy and maybe ruffle a few teams. Surya is not here for personal reasons and Allah is not there as well.
