We have had some injury concerns. Ben Stokes has an injury. Mo (Moeen Ali) is not well and in their place we have got Rahane and Pretorius. Other than that, same team."

For Mumbai Indians, Jofra Archer is not playing "as a precaution."

MI skipper Rohit Sharma said at the toss, "We would have. It is a good pitch, always a good pitch to bat. Always something in it for the bowlers. We just have to play good cricket. We have been really well in the last few days, spoke about what went wrong in our last game in Bangalore, hopefully, we can get the result tonight. Unfortunately, we have got an injury, I would not call it an injury but it is just a precaution - Jofra is not playing, we have got the other guys. It is a great feeling to be back at the Wankhede. The crowds have always been loud, look forward to playing in front of our home crowd."
