Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], April 20 (ANI): Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma on Tuesday won the toss and elected to bat against Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) here at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

At the time of the toss, Rohit said: "We are gonna bat first. We have made one change. Adam Milne misses out, we have brought in Jayant Yadav. Dew plays a factor in the back end. The conditions look similar, this looks drier. We want to do our basics right."
