Team Mumbai Indians (MI) will return to their coveted home ground at the Wankhede Stadium after playing two successive away matches in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 edition, both of which they lost.
MI will host Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), a team they have dominated in the past. The side bounced back from the loss in their opening game against RCB with a comprehensive win over RR in their last game. Kolkata’s bowlers, particularly the spinners, kept a tight leash on Rajasthan, never allowing them to take control of the game. KKR’s chase was relatively effortless, as Quinton de Kock’s unbeaten 97* was well supported by the rest of the batting line-up in their pursuit of 152.
MI went down to GT in Ahmedabad on a surface that was slower than usual. Sai Sudharsan’s 63 was supported by starts from Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler. Mohammed Siraj then sprang into action, dismissing both MI openers in the powerplay. Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma put up a partnership, but Prasidh Krishna sealed the game with four tight overs, delivering a comprehensive win.
