Mumbai Indians will look to return to winning ways when they take on the Kolkata Knight Riders at home this evening. The Hardik Pandya-led side has lost thrice in a row in away games now and their likelihood of progressing to the next round has diminished. Opponents Kolkata Knight Riders are second in the standings behind the Rajasthan Royals. They however have a poor away record against Mumbai, last winning back in 2012. They have been a bit inconsistent recently, failing to win two games in a row. They defeated Delhi easily in the last match and it will be interesting to see if they can manage another two points. Rohit Sharma Smiles When Asked About Virat Kohli’s Strike Rate During Press Conference After India’s Squad Selection for ICC T20 World Cup 2024 (Watch Video).

Suryakumar Yadav, the impact sub for Mumbai, has not had the kind of impact you would expect from a top player. The home side will need their batting maestro to fire and get some momentum in the middle overs. Rohit Sharma scored a century the last time he played at home but his poor record against Sunil Narine is a worry. Mumbai also needs their bowling unit to be consistent with a lot of dependency created on Jasprit Bumrah.

Phil Salt and Sunil Narine have provided solid starts at the top for Kolkata and it will not be a surprise if they dominate the Mumbai attack. Varun Chakaravarthy picked up three wickets in the last game but the Wankhede track may not have much to offer the spinners. All eyes will be on Venkatesh Iyer, who has not had the same impact this season for the franchisee. IPL 2024: MI vs KKR Overall Head-to-Head; When and Where To Watch Free Live Streaming Online.
