Rohit Sharma hit a match-winning 65 against the Delhi Capitals, but the challenge for the MI captain will be consistency, especially with the other senior, Suryakumar Yadav, struggling.
Despite winning the previous game, the most successful IPL team, Mumbai Indians, will be under additional pressure at the Wankhede Stadium, as they have yet to realise their full potential in IPL 2023.
KKR have had their share of highs and lows, finishing fourth on the points table with a good net run rate (0.711) as opposed to Mumbai Indians, who are ninth with two points and an NRR of -0.879.
MI will rely on their young guns Tim David, Cameron Green, Tilak Varma, and Ishan Kishan to deliver, given that KKR showed incredible fight right to the end to pull off a stunning win against Gujarat Titans, and fought until the final ball against SRH.
Rinku Singh will be MI’s most dangerous batting threat, having scored an unbeaten 48 and 58 in his last two innings batting at No. 7.
