Hardik Pandya, Trent Boult back as MI bowl first vs RR in 11-over match - check full playing XI

NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss, and opted to field against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on Tuesday. For the Mumbai Indians, captain Hardik Pandya, who missed the last match against Delhi Capitals, and Trent Boult came back into the side. While the Rajasthan Royals went with the same team. It will be a 11-over game. Powerplay will be 3.2 overs.“We are going to bowl first. It has been under covers, in rain-effected games you should bat second. It just gives you a clear idea what total should be. (Is it because there’s been rain and there will be more rain and it’s a truncated game that he opted to bowl?) Yes, that has always been at the back of the mind. It is just the start of the season and we are bound to make mistakes; you don’t win IPL in the first couple of weeks. I come back, Boulty is back,” Hardik Pandya said at the toss.While RR skipper Riyan Parag said, “We would have done the same thing (bowling first), actually. It (pitch) was supposed to be dry, but then it rained a lot. It is what it is. We have had two different types of games, but really happy with how the boys handled the pressure. Same team for us.”TeamsRajasthan Royals (Playing XI): Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel(w), Riyan Parag(c), Shimron Hetmyer, Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Tushar Deshpande, Sandeep SharmaMumbai Indians (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton(w), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya(c), Naman Dhir, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, AM Ghazanfar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah
