IPL 2024, MI vs KKR Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders: The battle of the big-hitters is an obvious one but the battle between David and Russell the bowler has been an interesting one as well. 

IPL 2024, MI vs KKR Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders: SKY's form has been patchy this season since he returned from injuries. He has been brilliant whenever he has clicked but it hasn't happened as often as he or MI would've liked.

IPL 2024, MI vs KKR Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders: Virat Kohli is the only Indian batter to have scored over 12,000 runs in T20 cricket but that could change today. Rohit Sharma needs another 29 runs to reach the milestone.

IPL 2024, MI vs KKR Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders: Sunil Narine is expected to be a big threat with the ball, as he was 12 years ago when KKR last beat MI at the Wankhede. However, today he could arguably be just as big a threat with the bat. The Wankhede normally has a flat deck with the kind of bounce that sets deliveries up for big shots and short boundaries, both of which work nicely into the hands of Narine the opening batter. Moreover, take Bumrah out and the MI bowling attack have been average at best.

IPL 2024, MI vs KKR Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders: IPL 2024, MI vs KKR Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders: Jasprit Bumrah has held the Purple Cap for much of this season after the initial scramble for it. T Natarajan took it from him yesterday but he could take it back today with a single wicket. That's because Bumrah has an eye-watering economy of 6.40 in 10 innings, that too in a season where 220 is turning out to be just about par on most grounds. His 14 wickets have come at a ridiculous average of 18.28.

IPL 2024, MI vs KKR Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders: One can have a debate on who deserves to make it to the Indian T20 World Cup squad for every position in the lineup except for the one occupied by Jasprit Bumrah. Over the course of the last 10 months, Bumrah didn't just return from a long-term injury that kept him out for over a year. He seems to have taken his game to a different level. He was the best bowler in the 2023 World Cup, and then was India's most potent bowler throughout their five-match Test series against England despite the conditions being conducive to spin bowling. And now, he is putting up a masterclass in every single match, seemingly playing on a different pitch to the rest of the MI attack almost every time.

IPL 2024, MI vs KKR Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders: Sunil Narine has an incredible record against Rohit Sharma. He has dismissed the former MI captain nine times, which is the most in all T20s after Dwayne Bravo's 10 against Kieron Pollard.

IPL 2024, MI vs KKR Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders: Somehow, the Indian selectors decided that they could drop Rinku Singh from the T20 World Cup squad with the explanation that they can only fit 15 players in it. His father said that he was disappointed, he could be seen smiling and having a light word with Rohit Sharma yesterday at the Wankhede Stadium during the two teams' practice sessions. Today, though, would be a good chance for him to show just what the Indian team would be missing, especially considering there are three senior members of that squad in the MI XI.

IPL 2024, MI vs KKR Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders: It is not just at home that MI have rained misery on KKR. In fact no team has beaten another in the IPL as many times as MI have agaunst KKR. MI have beaten the two-time champions a whopping 23 times. They lead the head-to-head 23-9. At home, they lead 9-1.

IPL 2024, MI vs KKR Live Score, Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders: The last time Kolkata Knight Riders beat Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, Sunil Narine was player of the match with figures of 4/15. But that is the only bit that sounds similar to present day cricket. Rohit Sharma wouldn't be MI captain for another year and was playing at No.4 for MI under Harbhajan Singh. Sachin Tendulkar was opening for them with Herschell Gibbs. KKR was led by Gautam Gambhir in his first season as captain of the team and he opened with Brendon McCullum, with the latter yet to retire from wicketkeeping duties. Jacques Kallis walked in at No.3 for them. This was May 16, 2012. Since then, MI have beaten KKR in all games played at their co-owner Shahrukh Khan's adopted home in Mumbai. Can they end that drought today?
