We are all set to begin! The Rajasthan players are in a huddle before they take their positions in the field. Ishan Kishan and Quinton de Kock are the openers for Mumbai. Jofra Archer will start with the ball for Rajasthan.
Quinton de Kock is there for a chat. He says that it is just about momentum which has helped him. Goes onto say that he does not find it difficult and he has played a lot of cricket now and he knows how he has to adapt. Says that this team always sets a high bar and sets a high standard and they go on with that. Adds that Rohit Sharma is doing really well and wishes him a speedy recovery.
Rajasthan (Unchanged playing XI) - Robin Uthappa, Ben Stokes, Sanju Samson (WK), Steven Smith (C), Jos Buttler, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Ankit Rajpoot, Kartik Tyagi.
Mumbai (Playing XI) - Quinton de Kock (WK), Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Saurabh Tiwary, Kieron Pollard (C), Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, James Pattinson (IN FOR NATHAN COULTER-NILE), Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah.
Steven Smith, the Rajasthan skipper, says that they are playing the same team as the last game. Feels it would've been better if he had a few more wins under their belt though. Hopes that things turn well for them in this game. Says that they have got 3 games and they will try to win all the games and see how things pan out.
Kieron Pollard, the Mumbai skipper, says that they will bat first. Informs that they have made one change as Nathan Coulter-Nile goes out for James Pattinson. Adds that they will look to bat and bat well and post a good score on the board. Says that the pitch is looking good and hopes that they can perform well with the bat.
Toss - Mumbai have won the toss and they have elected to bat first.
So, the big question! Will Rohit play this game? What about Rajasthan? Will they make any change to their side? On whose side the toss will land? We will find out these soon. Stay with us.
What would Rajasthan do? They have lost 7 of their 11 games and another defeat would mean that they won't have much breathing space. In their last encounter against Hyderabad, they were going well with the bat but failed to get going towards the end. They started well with the ball as both the openers were removed by Archer very early but after that, it was just one-way traffic. They had no response to the amazing batting of Manish Pandey and Vijay Shankar as the duo handed them an 8-wicket defeat. Well, that's past now and Rajasthan would like to forget it and put on a collective performance to get past strong Mumbai.
Let's talk about Mumbai, the table-toppers first. Most important thing first! Will Rohit Sharma return for this game? They didn't miss him much in their last game though as Pollard led the team and they thumped Chennai. A 10-wicket victory for the champions against the defending champions. Bumrah and Boult were at their supreme best against the meek-looking Chennai batting. Rahul Chahar joined them with his spin and ripped Chennai apart. Chasing a small total, Ishan Kishan and Quinton de Kock went all-guns blazing and chased the total down in a jiffy. They will be eager to repeat that performance against Rajasthan too.

Mumbai are consistently putting up a fine show with both bat and ball to thump the opposition while Rajasthan have failed to find the consistency and momentum.
