Rajasthan however have made one change to their playing XI with pacer Navdeep Saini coming in for Nathan Coulter-Nile.

As soon as the news came out that Surya is not playing, Mumbai Indians fans started asking why is he not playing as bowling coach Zaheer Khan had said a few days back with his available for selection. But he did not take field.

The reason why MI is not playing Surya is because he has just recovered from an thumbs injury and to get back to his best fitness levels and form, it may take some time, maybe one more game to play again.
