Skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bowl first. Ishan Kishan replaced under-fire opener Shikhar Dhawan at the top of the order.

Suryakumar Yadav, on the other hand, has come in for Axar Patel, which means that the hosts might have to extract four overs out of Hardik Pandya.

Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli have less run-out chances while running together. They make perfect eye contact.

Mumbai Indians now won't be retaining Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan as they'll retain Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya as the 3 Indian capped players.

One thing everyone should appreciate about Mumbai Indians is the supply of players from their system from Hardik, Bumrah to Ishan and Suryakumar Yadav.#INDvEND

Both Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan have been the backbone of the MI side, who boast some top quality overseas names.

Suryakumar has amassed 1416 runs for MI in three seasons and has proved his versatility for the five-time IPL champions.

Ishan Kishan was slow off the blocks for MI, but has been unstoppable since finding his feet. He ended up as the highest run-scorer for MI in IPL 2020, scoring 516 runs and hitting an incredible 29 sixes in the tournament.

Team India were severely criticized for their timid approach with the bat during the first T20I. Nevertheless, they will be hoping to make a roaring comeback in the series with a win in the second game.

The addition of these two swashbuckling batsmen to the Indian line-up seems to have addressed Kohli's promise of playing a fearless brand of cricket in T20Is.

If they get going and cement their place, it will surely give this strong Indian team the X-factor to win the upcoming T20 World Cup at home.
