Dharamsala, May 14 -- Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Jasprit Bumrah won the toss and opted to field first against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) on Thursday in Dharamsala.

Bumrah will make his IPL captaincy debut for the Mumbai Indians. The full-time skipper Hardik Pandya is recovering from a back spasm injury, and the availability of the stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav is missing from the clash due to personal reasons.
