We hope to put some scoreboard pressure on them and try and defend that. The guys in form for us will have to carry on and take the side past the line. We play to win everytime and hopefully we will pull off today. It’s a big day, people have come in numbers on Sachin’s birthday. For us Iqbal Abdulla comes in for Laxmi Shukla and that covers all our angles.’ Rohit Sharma is Mumbai’s new skipper: ‘We would have batted as well. Hopefully we can restrict them to a decent total and chase it down. Unfortunately, Ricky Ponting is sitting out today. It was a very tough call. I am looking forward to this new challenge.
