Rajat Patidar: It's a typical Mumbai wicket, will be good to bat. It's important to play good cricket. Bowling unit, it's difficult to bowl here but I am very confident. We have played a lot of cricket, it's pretty clear what we need to do at every venue. We are playing with the same team

Hardik Pandya: We are gonna bowl first. This looks like a good track, dew might come in later. When the wicket is cool, it stays good. When dew comes, it gets better. It always plays well for both teams. It's time for us to get some rhythm, get some good cricket behind us, take the smarter options and do the right things. We are playing good cricket, but it's just that at certain moments, we are missing out on certain things. If we can look after those, we'll be able to get the rhythm. Mumbai has been always supporting us. We have made sure that this is our fortress and we kinda defend it. Playing at home makes it different. The crowd is behind you and you are aware of the conditions. Jassie (Bumrah) is back and so is Ro (Rohit). Bot of our experienced campaigners are back in the side, that gives us an added fuel.
