KKR vs MI IPL 2025: मुंबई इंडियंस के लिए जागने का वक्त, नाइटराइडर्स से हारे तो हो जाएगी देर, बन जाएगी अनचाही हैट्रिक | KKR vs MI IPL 2025 Mumbai Indians Hope for Turnaround Against Kolkata Knight Riders Rohit Sharma form is concern for Hardik Pandya

New Delhi. It is not new for Mumbai Indians (Mi) to start IPL with a continuous defeat. Fans of MI have become a habit of this. Mumbai Indians, playing under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, have lost to Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans so far. Now on Monday, he competes with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The match will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. This is time for Mumbai Indians to wake up from sleep because the pressure on the team will increase after making a hat -trick of defeat. Hardik would not like this at all.

Mumbai Indians, which always made a slow start in the Indian Premier League (IPL), will not only expect a better performance from the bowlers to bring their campaign back on track, but will also require continuity from the batters. Opener Rohit Sharma is looking for the form, while Ryan Ricelton has not been able to get rhythm on Indian pitches. Due to this, there is pressure on the number three batter Tilak Verma and the middle order. Suryakumar Yadav was seen returning to form by scoring 48 runs against Gujarat Titans but this innings was not the same, for which the Indian T20 captain is recognized.

After Hardik Pandya, there is no such batter in the lower order that can finish the match. Due to this, Mumbai top and middle order batter are not able to play openly in the way the team of Kolkata Knight Riders play. Therefore, Mumbai Indians will have to be cautious with KKR. In bowling, Mumbai is being severely disturbed by Jasprit Bumrah. On the other hand, KKR’s team will also be very excited by the victory over Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium last year. This was his first win in 12 years at the Wankhede Stadium.

The Kolkata Knight Riders team would like to continue the rhythm of their big win over Rajasthan Royals after losing the first match of the session against Royal Challengers Bangalore. KKR has a strong team led by Ajinkya Rahane. However, Quinton Dickock’s opening partner Sunil Naren did not get the beginning against Rajasthan Royals, for which she is known. Moin Ali looked uncomfortable as an opener.

Apart from captain Rahane, KKR has the best batter in Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Andre Russell. Rinku and Russell know to bring storms in the death over. In bowling, Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora, along with Australia’s Spencer Johnson, create a strong attack of a new ball. That too when KKR’s real strength is his spin attack which includes Sunil Naren and Varun Chakraborty.

Both teams are as follows:
Mumbai Indians: Hardik Pandya (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Ryan Ricelton, Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav, Robin Minj, Naman Dhir, Michel Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Bolt, Mujib ur Rehman, Shreejit Krishnan, Bowon Jacobs, Will Jacks, Raj Angad Bawa, Vignesh Putur, Korbin Bash, Karbin Bash, Karbin Bash Topley, VS Penmetsa, Arjun Tendulkar and Jaspreet Bumrah.
