Ishan Kishan departs!

Classy start for Rohit Sharma

A couple of splendid boundaries by Rohit Sharma off Mohammed Shami but the back-foot punch takes the cake. Top stuff from the Mumbai Indians captain. However, Shami almost got Rohit in the last delivery before DRS saved him from being out LBW. MI are 8/1 after 2 overs.

Here's what the captains said at the toss:

Rohit Sharma: We would have batted first. We played good cricket here batting first in the last game, so we just need to put up a good performance. The talk before the tournament for us was to focus on the basics of batting, bowling and fielding and our preparations were good. We back ourselves to do whatever is thrown at us. We are playing the same team.

KL Rahul: We're going to bowl first. It is a new strip, looks really good and should play well for 40 overs. Hopefully there is a bit of movement first up. Gowtham comes in place of M Ashwin, that's the only change.
