Krunal Pandya speaks

MI bowler Krunal Pandya: Guess it’s a great comeback after the powerplay. Wicket is good to bat on and we bowled in the right areas in the second half and we got the result as well. He (Bumrah) has done that so many times for us and today he did it when it mattered the most, he has always delivered. I always back my strength and my strength is varying the pace and I stuck with that , backing myself to do the same thing. Overall it was a good effort and before the start of the first innings, if someone had said you have to chase 165, we would have taken that.

Virat Kohli at the toss

Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli: “Pretty happy with batting first, exactly what we wanted to do. Quite a few changes tonight. Saini misses out, Shivam Dube comes in. Josh Phillipe comes in for Aaron Finch and Dale Steyn comes in for Moeen Ali. Seemed pretty one-sided for the first couple of weeks and the teams in the lower half are fighting hard and it’s important for us, we have been playing some consistent cricket and we have played well together as a team and tonight we are looking to execute our plans well.”

Kieron Pollard at the toss

Mumbai Indians captain Kieron Pollard: “We will field first. Hopefully we will see what happens but we have to come out and play good cricket. In the last game 190 odd was chased down, and don’t think it would change much and hopefully we can chase it down later on. We are playing the same team.”

RCB Playing XI against MI

Royal Challengers Bangalore have made serious changes to the team. Josh Phillippe and Shivam Dube are in for Aaron Finch and injured Navdeep Saini. Dale Steyn is in for Moeen Ali.

Kieron Pollard comes out for the toss. No Rohit Sharma today as well! Mumbai Indians win toss, elect to bowl against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Abu Dhabi.

Rohit playing or not

Rohit Sharma is seen around the sidelines but not in team’s jersey. He might not be playing after all today, as it was expected.

Pitch Report

“Looks a really good track with a tinge of grass on it, but it’s a little dry underneath. The bounce has been consistent on this ground. If you’re bowling defensively you gotta make sure there’s significant difference in pace. Variations are crucial. It still looks good for batting.” - JP Duminy alongside Daren Ganga.

Navdeep Saini injury

Navdeep Saini has been injured in the past game. He is likely to be missed in tonight’s game.

Bumrah keeps it simple

“I just try to keep it simple. I try to assess the wicket, the situation, boundary sizes and then choose my options. It’s very easy to say, ‘you should just bowl yorkers, just bowl slower one’. (In the end) you have to be very proactive, very smart (with) what approach you want to adapt and how the wicket is behaving. So all these things I keep in mind and try to do what I can,” said Bumrah, who is MI’s second-most successful bowler in IPL history behind Lasith Malinga and needs just one wicket to reach the 100-wicket mark.

On Rohit’s injury

There is no clarity how serious Rohit’s injury is. A BCCI source said: “Rohit’s injury is more severe than believed initially. The nets session video posted by the franchise on Monday may not be a true reflection of where it stands.”

A Grade 1 hamstring tear usually takes four to six weeks to heal, a Grade 2 tear could take up to eight weeks. If it is only a strain, the player can be fit in a week to 10 days. Rohit suffered the injury on October 18 against KXIP, while taking a run in the Super Over. (READ MORE)

“Best tournament in the world.” This is how BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has described the ongoing season.

“Unbelievable, and I am not surprised at all. When we were discussing with Star and all the people concerned – if we have to do it this year and one-month prior to the tournament, we were contemplating, whether this can happen or not, what will be the ultimate result of the bio-bubble and will it be successful. We decided to move ahead with our plan, because we wanted to bring normalcy in everyone’s lives and wanted to bring the game back. I am not surprised with the feedback,” Ganguly said on Star Sports’ show Cricket Live.

Kohli on RCB loss to CSK

Virat Kohli, Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper: “You have to be prepared on a given day to do well. All sides have good players, it’s about how you come out onto the park on that particular day. We are playing really good cricket and you have to accept you will lose games here and there.”

Bumrah before the match

MI pacer Jasprit Bumrah: “We’re very happy and still very clear. There is nothing we’ve to change drastically. Just for one day the opposition played better than you. You just say ‘well played’ and move forward.”
