Mumbai Indians win the toss and elect to bat
Mumbai Indians have won the toss and elected to bat first against Rajasthan Royals.
Having finally found the winning touch, Mumbai Indians will look to continue in a similar vein when they lock horns with beleaguered hosts Rajasthan Royals in an Indian Premier League game on Sunday.
Two-time champions Mumbai Indians were off to a horrible start this season, suffering three successive reverses before skipper Rohit Sharma came to the team’s rescue with a blazing 94 against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The 46-run drubbing of RCB has raised the morale of the players, and Mumbai Indians are seeking a similar outing against Rajasthan Royals, at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium.
Mumbai XI: SA Yadav, E Lewis, Ishan Kishan, RG Sharma, KH Pandya, KA Pollard, HH Pandya, MJ McClenaghan, M Markande, JJ Bumrah, Mustafizur Rahman.
Rahane: "Happy to bowl first. The pitch gets better as the game goes on. We were disappointed over our last two games. Mumbai Indians are a quality team. Jofra Archer and Kulkarni are in. No Laughlin or Binny.
Royals XI: AM Rahane, H Klaasen, SV Samson, BA Stokes, JC Buttler, RA Tripathi, JC Archer, DS Kulkarni, K Gowtham, S Gopal, JD Unadkat.
