RR vs MI: Captain's quote

Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians Captain): "We are going to bat first. Just looks like a good wicket if it slows up. We didn't see much dew in a couple of days of practice so just thought that batting first would be ideal. It's a surreal feeling to play my 100th game for the franchise.

Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "We had a slightly different thought about the toss so anyway happy to lose it, we wanted to bowl. You know the nature of this tournament, its a long season. When a momentum is going well you need to keep going. We had 5 days gap so little reset and all about focusing on the process and leaving the result there."
