Mumbai: Mumbai Indians are set to lock horns with a struggling Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium, Saturday.
MI skipper Rohit Sharma, who missed his side’s last game against Kings XI Punjab due to a leg spasm, is set to return to action. Kieron Pollard, who took over the captaincy in Sharma’s absence, fired MI to a three-wicket victory over KXIP after playing a blitzkrieg knock of 83.
Royals on the other hand are low on confidence and enter the game at the back of two consecutive defeats at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders andChennai Super Kings.
