Nitish Rana and Shubman Gill have continued to play safely as not many risks have been taken in the first five overs.

On the other hand, Chris Lynn, on his MI debut, had an impressive outing against RCB and dropping him would be a tough call. Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan were also impressive in the previous game, and KKR bowlers should beware of them. It was MI’s astonishing collapse in the end overs which led to their downfall in the season opener, and the reigning winners should look to overcome their problem.
With Eoin Morgan’s winning the first game and MI is known to make thrilling comebacks, predicting favourites for this game won’t be easy. However, the toss will have a crucial role to play with dew coming into play in the latter stage of the contest.
