Fresh off climbing to the top spot on the IPL 2024 points table, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) would be looking to seal a spot in the playoffs when they take on Mumbai Indians on May 11. The Shreyas Iyer-led outfit has been one of the most consistent sides in IPL 2024, fetching eight wins in 11 matches and is just one victory away from having a 'Q' next to their name on the IPL 2024 points table. With the bat, KKR have been an explosive unit led by a destructive opening partnership between Phil Salt and Sunil Narine. The middle order comprising skipper Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer, also has come good with Andre Russell and Ramandeep Singh nailing the finishers' role. In the bowling department, spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy have been miserly as ever, and Vaibhav Arora, along with Harshit Rana, have not failed to impress. After a rough start, IPL's most expensive player, Mitchell Starc, has been amongst the wickets. The Knight Riders seem a well-oiled unit and look like a threat to be reckoned with. IPL 2024 Points Table Updated With Net Run Rate.

Mumbai Indians in contrast, have had a campaign they would want to forget as soon as possible. Placed eighth on the points table, the five-time winners have already been eliminated from the race to make it to the IPL 2024 playoffs and would be playing for pride in their remaining two matches. With just four wins, the team failed to meet its expectations big time and would now want to bow out on a high. Hardik Pandya has had a very tough season, both on the field and off it and he will want to give the fans some reason to smile as their campaign draws to a close. Batting has been a major concern, but Suryakumar Yadav finding some form is a welcome sight, and he would be looking forward to continuing from where he left off against Sunrisers Hyderabad. KKR Players Manish Pandey, Sherfane Rutherford and KS Bharat Visit Kashi Viswanath Temple After Their Flight Diverted to Varanasi (See Pic).

Kolkata Knight Riders outplayed Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium the last time these two teams faced each other this season. A partnership between Venkatesh Iyer and Manish Pandey helped KKR reach 169 before the bowlers complemented that effort and won the game by 24 runs. Will KKR do a double, or will the five-time champions register a win this time around?
