Mumbai Indians wins toss, opts to field vs Kings XI Punjab – IPL 2013 #KXIPvsMI

Posted: 18 May 2013 03:02 AM PDT

Toss: Mumbai have won the toss and elected to field

Rohit Sharma: ‘I have been enjoying the captaincy and the opportunities I have been getting. T20 is a completely different ball. Pressure is much more compared to domestic cricket. Yes Mitch has been bowling really well, getting all the early breakthroughs. Hopefully he can do the same today as well. We will bowl first. Not sure what is a good score here. So we decided to chase. We want to carry forward some momentum into the play-offs. Sachin Tendulkar misses out. Coulter-Nile and Rishi Dhawan come in for Mitchell Johnson and Pragyan Ojha.’

Adam Gilchrist: Definitely not my final Indian T20 League game but we will have to see in the next auction. I don’t think they will pick up a 42-year-old again. Lack of runs on the board, the body, all tell on you. We have lost the opportunity to qualify for the finals. No better place to play in the whole world than Dharamsala for me. Hopefully the boys will pull up their socks. If we win this we will make it 3 wins in a row. This tournament is full of young talent. Hopefully we will do well next year. Gurkeerat replaces Satish who is injured.’

Teams:
Mumbai (Playing XI): Aditya Tare, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik(w), Rohit Sharma(c), Kieron Pollard, Ambati Rayudu, Harbhajan Singh, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Lasith Malinga, Rishi Dhawan, Dhawal Kulkarni

Punjab (Playing XI): Adam Gilchrist(w/c), Shaun Marsh, Azhar Mahmood, Mandeep Singh, David Miller, Manan Vohra, Gurkeerat Singh, Piyush Chawla, Praveen Kumar, Parvinder Awana, Sandeep Sharma
