Toss Rajasthan Royals chose to field v Mumbai Indians

Rahul Dravid asked Mumbai Indians to bat on a pitch that he said was a bit damp. Harbhajan Singh said he would have batted had he won the toss. Rajasthan Royals brought in the left-arm spinner Brad Hogg for the batsman Brad Hodge, with Dravid thinking earlier that the match was to be played on an adjacent strip which looked like it would aid turn. Mumbai Indians went in unchanged, with Sachin Tendulkar still not having recovered from his finger injury.
