Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma said: “That is the kind of potential we have got. We have come back from defeats. Having a perfect win in Kolkata was an icing on the cake. That is the kind of momentum we were looking for. Need to do the basics right again. We would have fielded first, considering it is a high scoring ground. Nevertheless now that we are batting we will like to post a good total. We have one change, Krunal Pandya comes in place of Suchit.”
Gujarat Lions skipper Suresh Raina said: “Boys have played really well, very solid, practicing well as well. We are sure we will do well today. Jadeja is getting married so he is not playing, we have Dhawal Kulkarni in. He has done well in first-class cricket”
