Rajasthan vs Mumbai: First Champions vs Defending Champions

Mumbai and Rajasthan are two teams on opposite sides of the spectrum as far as performances in the Indian T20 League are concerned. While Mumbai have won the league 5 times, Rajasthan are yet to get their hands on the trophy ever since they won the inaugural edition back in 2008.

What makes this head-to-head battle interesting is that Rajasthan have been a constant threat to Mumbai and have had an excellent record against them of late. Considering this, expect another exciting encounter when the two teams face each other this season.
