Faf du Plessis - We've tried to change things, so we've given chances to some of our players, some new players and it's up to them to take the opportunity. It's important to give players a decent run, but we've found ourselves in a stage where we haven't done well, so it's time to make changes. One thing that's important is to be consistent and that's where we've been disappointing. But we know we can turn this around. We would have fielded as well, chasing at this ground is the better option, but the pitch looks good. We've got three changes - Jacks debuts and he'll come in at 3, Mahipal and Vyshak are back.

Hardik Pandya - We will bowl first. It looks like a similar track, but it might get better to bat on under lights. There was a bit of dew as well, so chasing could be a better option. The mood before and after the win was different, we'll need to start well, put the pressure and then take the game forward. We got the highest score without anyone getting to 50, that gives you plenty of confidence. Bowling well in the powerplay was crucial. One change - Shreyas Gopal comes in place of PC
Mumbai Indians have won the toss and have opted to field

It's a red soil pitch as usual for today's game at the Wankhede. 65m and 59m square boundaries, the straight boundary is at 74m. So 200 could be a par score considering the dimensions. Thye pitch itself is an absolute belter, a batting paradise. It's been a high-scoring ground, both teams could go aggressive against the new ball in the powerplay. Not much spin, just a beautiful batting wicket. It's a no-brainer, the captain winning the toss would opt to bowl first, reckon Sanjay Manjrekar and Michael Clarke, in their pitch report
