If we're playing Hardik Pandya for his fielding then just drop him straight away and bring him on as a substitute fielder instead. Useless fellow really!
โ S. (@Sanmit_MUFC)
MI are missing Hardik's bowling and struggling as a whole barring Bumrah because they are not getting new ball wickets from Boult like they used to get last year? I think Yes.....

We're going toย bowl first. I think we lacked cricket smartness in the last game. When we lost early wickets the middle order should have realized that it wasn't a 170 wicket. We need to learn from that. The pitch does look sticky and damp and it could get better to bat on later. Just one change: Ravi Bishnoi comes in for Murugan Ashwin.

The Men in Blue and Gold would like to execute everything in their books to perfection to get this last game at Chennai right before boarding the flight to Delhi.ย

The pitch in Chennai has turned out to be a tough one for batting. Though one score over 200 has been registered, the batters, mostly, have had to work out of their skins to get runs. The spinners are again expected to may hay. Batting first should remain as the way forward. There will be clouds, but with no chances of rain. The temperature will be around the 31 degrees Celsius mark.
