NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians captain
Hardik Pandya
won the toss and elected to field first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL 2024 encounter at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday.
Mumbai Indians, who are languishing at the bottom of the table, made one change in their Playing XI, handing a debut to
Anshul Kamboj
. Kamboj replaced Gerald Coetzee.
"The wickets look fresh and might have something for the new ball.
We want to make sure we use it. One change: Gerald misses out and Anshul Kamboj makes his debut," said Pandya at the toss.
WHO IS ANSHUL KAMBOJ?
Anshul Kamboj is a 23-year-old all-rounder from Haryana who bowls right-arm medium pace. He is the 2nd Indian player to debut for Mumbai Indians this IPL after Naman Dhir.
Hailing from Karnal, Anshul has represented India U19 in the past. He took 17 wickets in just 10 matches in the most recent edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Sunrisers Hyderabad too made a change, bringing in Mayank Agarwal into the playing XI.
"We have got Mayank Agarwal back, batting at No.3. We have got four games left and probably need to win two to make it to the top four but we cannot think too far ahead. Too much blue in the stands and not much orange, it's going to be noisy, I think. Wankhede has always been like that," said SRH skipper
Pat Cummins
