Rising Pune Supergiant captain Steve Smith has won the toss and elected to bowl against Mumbai Indians.

Pune all-rounder Ben Stokes, the costliest foreign player in the history of IPL, will make his debut in the T20 tournament.

Interestingly, Pune have included two leg-spinners in their playing eleven in Imran Tahir and Adam Zampa.

Meanwhile, Mumbai have a battery of four fast bowlers in Mitchell McClenaghan, Tim Southee, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah.

Surprisingly, Harbhajan Singh has been left out with left-arm Krunal Pandya making the cut ahead of the veteran off-spinner.
