IPL 2021: MI vs SRH: Toss report: Mumbai Indians to bat, make one change, Sunrisers make four changes

Chennai, April 17: Keeping in mind the sluggish nature of the pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, the Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma had little hesitation in electing to bat once he won the toss here on Saturday (April 17).

The defending champions Mumbai are up against Sunrisers Hyderabad in an IPL 2021 match.

Mumbai will be eager to register their second win while SRH under David Warner will be eyeing their maiden win of IPL 2021.

Rohit said at the toss: "We are going to bat first. It is very hard to predict, looks a good track but we will only get to know as the game progresses. It looks a bit sluggish though. We have made one change. Adam Milne comes in place of Jansen. We understand the conditions and it's very important to back your skills. Last game was good for us."

Warner told host broadcaster: "We would've batted first for sure. All four wickets look exactly the same here. We know what we are gonna do here. We have been in this position before, we have made four changes. I can't remember the names, gotta look at the team-sheet."
