Hardik Pandya seemed to be in a daze at the toss. The Mumbai Indians skipper forgot whether he was bowling or batting first moments after he’d won the toss. Whether it was the pressure of the MI vs CSK game or a normal goof-up, Hardik claimed that he was batting first after electing to bowl first.
Hardik ‘forgetful’ Pandya
Considering that dew will set in and help the batters more in the second half, Hardik decided to bowl first. However, moments later, he told Ravi Shastri that MI would bat first and then corrected himself. He said:
“We would like to bowl first; dew will come into play. The pitch looks better than the last game, expecting a lot of runs. Need to stick to the basics. Winning is very important to get momentum. We were able to win two games convincingly. That’s the beauty of IPL; everyone has to contribute. Your team will be able to achieve its goals eventually. The dew started coming post 10 overs (in the last game). It gets heavier in the evening. Same team.“
