MS Dhoni said: “We have to rely on the stuff that hasn’t gone well for us. In bowling there are quite a few areas where we need the changes. Maybe get those extra 5-10 runs and bowl less boundary balls. Most of the games have been close, what’s important is we need that push. Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the tournament. Even Fleming is not well. Thankfully we don’t need a replacement for a coach. In place of Albie we are playing Boland.”

After winning the toss Mumbai skipper Rohit Sharma said: “We are going to bowl first. We have been following the games here. The last one was high scoring. It’s generally playing good. There’s some grass cover which will help the ball coming on. And our guys will like it. We have the same team.”

In match no. 29 of IPL 9 Rising Pune Supergiants host the Mumbai Indians at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. MI have won the toss and decided to field first.
