Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and elected to field first against Mumbai Indians in the seventh match of this year’s Indian Premier League at the MA Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore.

Pitch report:

“There is enough live grass on the wicket which suggests the ball will slide on. Occasionally, the ball might spin a little,” Ian Bishop.

Here is what the captains said:

Virat Kohli:

“We are gonna have a bowl first. We played here against Australia and it got easier in the second half. We have not made any changes. For us, continuity is very important for us in this tournament.”

Rohit Sharma:

“We have come here and played some cricket. That is confidence that we will take. We will try and access the conditions. Whenever you play a game of cricket, you have to lead from the front. Pressure is always there but you try and be there in the present and that is what I am trying to do.”
