Players to Watch

Hardik Pandya will be under keen pressure as captain and all-rounder. MI is the only team who hasn’t won any match till now in this season. 

Runs haven’t come from Rohit Sharma's bat. Thus, his fans will be expecting a good performance from him.

Sunil Narine will also be looked for whether he is playing or not. He hasn’t played a previous match.

Players like Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, and Varun Chakaravarthy have already shown good performances in previous matches.

Previous Performance

KKR has lost their 1st match against RCB but won their 2nd against RR. 

But MI has lost both their earlier matches against Chennai and Gujarat. Right now, MI is in the last position on the points table.
