The IPL 2024 is entering the last two weeks of the competition ahead of the playoffs and with every passing day the tables are taking massive turns. In the next match of the competition, Mumbai Indians will host Kolkata Knight Riders at their home in the Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai Indians have already suffered seven losses after ten games and are on the brink of elimination. They desperately need a win here to keep their campaign alive. Meanwhile, KKR are under a bit of pressure as they search for consistency with the likes of LSG and SRH breathing on their neck.  Gautam Gambhir's Old Interview Praising Rohit Sharma Goes Viral Ahead of MI vs KKR IPL 2024 Match at Wankhede Stadium (Watch Video).

MI suffered a devastating loss against Lucknow Super Giants in their last game at the Ekana Stadium. Batting first, they lost four wickets in quick succession and struggled to recover from there. Throughout the season, they have lacked collective performances in both bowling and batting department. One or two players have stoop up performing on that day but it has not been enough to secure a victory. They will hope Jasprit Bumrah keeps on his consistency and gives them an edge in the game from where they can close it down.  Tim David, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh and Other Cricketers Check Each Other's Bat During Practice at Wankhede Stadium Ahead of MI vs KKR IPL 2024 (Watch Video).

KKR although are on the second position in the points table, they have struggled to find consistency lately. Their five games have alternate wins and losses lately. They caught DC offguard in their last game but MI away has been a tough challenge for them in their entire history. In the ten games KKR played at the Wankhede Stadium, KKR has won only one game. With Harshit Rana suspended due to breaching code of conduct, KKR will have to look at either of Chetan Sakariya or Sakib Hussain which can work in MI's advantage.
