On paper it's a match between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals. It's also a clash between Mumbaikars. The conditions at the Wankhede Stadium for today's Indian Premier League clash may not be alien to certain players in the Rajasthan Royals camp. Their support staff too have better knowledge of the conditions in Mumbai.

While RR is led by Mumbai star Ajinkya Rahane, he also has two other Mumbai players at his disposal - Dhawal Kulkarni and Shashank Singh. In the support staff, RR boasts of Mumbai stalwarts Amol Muzumdar (batting coach), Sairaj Bahutule (bowling coach) and head of cricket Zubin Bharucha, the former Mumbai Ranji Trophy batsman. Their knowledge of the conditions at Wankhede is unmatched.
