Mumbai vs Rajasthan

What the captains are saying:
Steve Smith: Ajinkya has done a terrific job in the last one and a half year and the team management thinks there's a need for a change. I have done a bit of leadership in the IPL with a bit of success, hopefully I can lead the team well.
Rohit Sharma: I was going to bat first as well, because we have defended well as a team. It doesn't matter if we win games or lose games, there's always room for improvement. There have been different individuals who have stepped up and that's been a good thing.

What to expect from the match:
Fast running out of time, a struggling Rajasthan will hope to complete the double against Mumbai in a return-leg IPL fixture and revive their campaign.
With six losses and two wins, hosts Rajasthan are languishing at the second last position in the points table and they would be desperate to bring their campaign back on track with a much-needed win.
Rajasthan would be taking heart from the four-wicket win over Mumbai at their own den last Saturday and will hope to get the better of their rivals once again, this time at home.
However, it will be easier said than done considering Rajasthan's dismal record at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium. Apart from their lone victory against Bangalore, Rajasthan have lost three matches at home.
