NEW DELHI: Having lost their first two games of IPL 2025,
Mumbai Indians will look to bounce back when they face defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. Despite their sluggish starts in previous editions, MI have often turned things around to clinch titles. However, with a lack of specialist finishers and inconsistent top-order performances, they must find the right balance quickly.
In their 34 previous encounters, MI have dominated KKR with a head-to-head record of 23-11. But KKR will take confidence from their win over MI at Wankhede last year – their first at the venue in 12 years.

IPL campaign, while
Hardik Pandya faces pressure after a hostile reception from fans last season.
KKR, led by
Ajinkya Rahane, boast a strong lineup featuring Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell and Rinku Singh. Their spin duo of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy remains a major threat, while their pace attack, led by Harshit Rana and Spencer Johnson, has also impressed.
With MI seeking redemption and KKR aiming to build momentum, an exciting clash awaits.
