Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya has won the toss and elected to bat first against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 41 of the Indian Premier League 2026. The match will start at 07:30 pm IST.
"We will bat first as it is a good wicket. I don't think dew will come. It was important to reset without complicating things. We are excited for the game. I want to play the best cricket to help the team. Rohit will take a few more games before returning. He is trying his best, but it's not up to the mark," Hardik Pandya said.
SRH skipper Pat Cummins would have bowled first had he won the toss.
"We wanted to bowl first as the wicket is a bit tacky. We have to reset our expectations every game," he said.
