IPL standings after Rajasthan Royals beat Mumbai Indians in first match of the day:

Ravichandran Ashwin: "For starters, bat well when we bat first. One of the days to not make a decision. We were also looking to bowl first. We have an exciting change in Harpreet Brar - he bowls a bit of left-arm mystery spin. There is going to be dew, so we needed an extra bowler and Brar fits in as he can bat as well. Right time to bring Sam back in as he is our sixth bowling option."

Shreyas Iyer: "We will bowl first. Looking at the outfield it is getting a bit dewy and it will only get worse, depending on that we have decided to bowl first. We made some mistakes in the previous games and have rectified it. We are backing on chasing any total. We need to be positive in our approach. If you see the wicket, it is turning a lot and we need to be positive. We have three changes - Ingram, Lamichhane and Rutherford come in."
