Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and elected to bat against Chennai Super Kings in a high-profile Indian Premier League clash between the two five-time champions in Chennai on Saturday.
Mumbai Indians, currently ninth on the table with just four points, included young right-arm pacer Krish Bhagat in the side.
Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad made two changes, bringing in Ramakrishna Ghosh for Gurjapneet Singh and Prashant Veer in place of Akeal Hosein.

Chennai Super Kings: Sanju Samson (w), Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Urvil Patel, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, Jamie Overton, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Prashant Veer, Noor Ahmad, Anshul Kamboj, Mukesh Choudhary.
