Failure of prominent players was the biggest reason behind Mumbai’s defeat in the opening game. The likes of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya failed to leave an impact and must be raring to make a mark. Speaking of the brighter side, Saurabh Tiwary and Trent Boult shone against CSK and will like to prove their mettle again.

On the other hand, the addition of Eoin Morgan and Pat Cummins has added more firepower to the KKR line-up. Both the stars have played a decent amount of cricket in recent times and are in the groove. Caribbean all-rounders Sunil Narine and Andre Russell have been a cornerstone of the team over the years and will be critical to KKR’s victory. Among Indians, skipper Dinesh Karthik, Kuldeep Yadav, Shubman Gill and Nitish Rana hold the key.
On previous occasions, the two sides have crossed paths in 25 IPL matches with Mumbai Indians leading the head-to-head record with 19 victories. The remaining six games went in KKR’s favour. However, Kolkata registered a 41-run win when these two sides last met in UAE in 2014.
