Mumbai, March 13: Supporters turned out in huge numbers to cheer for their very own Sachin Tendulkar as the Mumbai Indians skipper won the toss and elected to bat first against Rajasthan Royals here at Brabourne Stadium on Saturday in the second match of the extravagant Indian Premier League.
In the opening season, both the teams won their respective home matches comfortably, Tendulkar missing the first tie because of injury and then playing the second at Jaipur but ending on the losing side.
In 2009, when the IPL shifted to South Africa, the first match was washed out due to rains while Warne and co. eked out a thrilling two-run win in the second leg at Durban.
But overall it was a disappointing season two for both the outfits and both teams would be eager to make a winning start and get their title hunt on the track.
