🔁 Toss Update: Mumbai ne chuna pehle bowling
Hardik Pandya (MI Captain): “Hum pehle bowling karenge, pitch kaafi achhi lag rahi hai. Dew ho sakta hai aaye ya na aaye, but chasing yahan hamesha safe option hoti hai. Hum rhythm banana chahte hain aur match strong shuru karna hai. Will Jacks wapas aaye hain aur Ashwani Kumar debut kar rahe hain.”
Ajinkya Rahane (KKR Captain): “Hum bhi pehle bowl karna chahte the, lekin pitch dekh ke thoda confuse tha. Wankhede ek batting-friendly ground hai, toh yeh toss haarna shayad achha hua.

🧠 Pitch Report: Batters ki Jannat, Bowlers ka Test
“Pitch ek dum belter hai, upar se lush green grass aur neeche hard surface – matlab batsmen ke liye swarg! But bowlers agar smart hain, to bouncer aur variations se wickets nikaal sakte hain. Varun aur Narine jaise spinners interesting honge yahaan,” – Eoin Morgan aur Nick Knight.
