KKR vs MI Dream11 Team Selection Captain Pick:  Jasprit Bumrah

Although MI lost the season opener, Jasprit Bumrah was impressive as ever.  The right-arm pacer didn’t allow the RCB batsmen to go after him and took two crucial wickets, including Virat Kohli’s scalp. With the likes of Andre Russell and Eoin Morgan failing to make a mark against SRH, Bumrah would be determined to torment them in end overs. Hence, the 27-year-old should be the captain of your fantasy team.

KKR vs MI Dream11 Team Selection Vice-Captain Pick: Nitish Rana

Rana made a sensational to IPL 2021, scoring a match-winning 80 against the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan and T Natarajan. While the southpaw was watchful in the initial overs, he opened his arms after settling his feet and took almost every SRH bowler to cleaners. Hence, he would be a potent choice for vice-captain in your fantasy side.

KKR vs MI Probable Playing XI

MI Likely XI: Kolkata Knight Riders: Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi, Andre Russell, Eoin Morgan (C), Dinesh Karthik (WK), Shakib Al Hasan, Pat Cummins, Harbhajan Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Prasidh Krishna.

KKR Likely XI: Rohit Sharma (C), Chris Lynn/Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan (WK), Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Marco Jansen, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah.
