IPL 2024: PBKS vs MI, Match 33: Who said what at the toss?

Sam Curran: We will have a bowl. Keeping up with the trend of the tournament. Shikhar is not well, so that’s the only injury and Rilee comes in for Jonny today. It is not nice to lose the close games but we are doing a lot of things right. Taide drops out of the side, just a couple of tactical changes.

Hardik Pandya: We were wanting to bat first as well, so good toss to lose. We don’t judge (our performances), couple of times we had the game in our grasp and didn’t finish the game, IPL tests you, when the game is not over it is not over. We just take it game by game, go out there and give our 100 percent. Every indivdual should commit to the team’s goal and once we do that, the results will be seen. Same team.
