Today's IPL toss result

Mumbai have won the toss and have opted to bowl first. Being a day game, dew won’t play a part. However, Rohit Sharma explained his decision and said:

“No particular reason. It is a good pitch, we are seeing a trend in the tournament, you have a score in front of you and you know what to do as a batting group. Dew is not going to be a factor. We just felt it is a good pitch, let’s have a score in front of us and see what we do as a batting group.”

Mumbai are going in with the same team, which means Suryakumar Yadav will not be seen in action. For Rajasthan, Navdeep Saini comes in for Nathan Coulter-Nile.
