Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals will look to put behind their unsuccessful campaign last year when they clash on Saturday to kick-start their respective IPL campaigns in Mumbai.
While two of the game's greatest players renew their rivalry on the field, Shane Warne and Sachin Tendulkar are also in charge of their respective sides.
Rajasthan Royals captain Warne has already started plotting against Tendulkar, and a day before the game he was wondering whether the Mumbai Indians stalwart would be coming out to open the innings or drop himself down the order.
Warne's reason for speculation was based on the Royals' pace sensation Shaun Tait, who would look to subdue Tendulkar's onslaught.
"Question to cricket followers. Do you think Sachin will open and face Tait. Or drop himself down order and let others take on Tait?" Warne wrote on Twitter.
Warne's question generated extreme interest on the website, with replies ranging from Warne trying to kick up controversy to the spin legend trying to play mind games.
"Why does everyone think I'm saying Sachin scared of Tait. You guys are being too sensitive. I just asked where he would bat? (Will he) open/(or drop himself down) middle?" he added.
Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals clashes have been billed as the clash between the two stars, and it won't be any different this time around.
