Rohit Sharma vs Anrich Nortje
Mumbai Indians legend Rohit Sharma has a stellar IPL record at the Wankhede Stadium, scoring 2,295 runs at a strike rate of 136.77. However, his form has been poor this season, scoring low in the last two matches. Against the KKR pacers, the MI hitman will have to put his weight behind him and get Mumbai Indians their first win.
Anrich Nortje, a fast bowler who is adept at making batsmen sweat with his sheer pace, but Rohit Sharma will have to bat through his ability to generate bounce and movement with the new ball.
In the past, teams batting second at the Wankhede Stadium have had an advantage in scoring runs, with four of the last six matches going in favour of the team batting second, mainly due to the dew effect. This is why the stadium sets the stage for a high-scoring encounter.
Trent Boult vs Ajinkya Rahane
Mumbai Indians’ Trent Boult has been bowling dangerous spells with the new ball and has taken on the additional responsibility of leading the team in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah.
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders’ Ajinkya Rahane has constantly troubled Mumbai Indians with his terrific batting, scoring 712 runs against them over the years. KKR’s new captain has historically been a great performer at the Wankhede, with a strike rate of 135.46 at this Wankhede stadium.
Hardik Pandya vs Andre Russell
MI captain Hardik Pandya has had two poor outings this season, so he will want to influence the match. Hardik Pandya’s record against KKR speaks volumes, 13 wickets and 395 runs at an impressive strike rate of 165.97.
Andre Russell is a brilliant batsman for KKR, who has maintained a strike rate of 155.49 against MI. Andre Russell’s explosive batting helps KKR change the game quickly.
Deepak Chahar vs Quinton de Kock
Former Chennai Super Kings swing master Deepak Chahar will look to capitalise on any early movement, which is crucial considering Mumbai Indians’ bowling concerns.
Former Mumbai Indians player Quinton de Kock knows the conditions of the Wankhede Stadium very well, having scored 373 runs in 12 innings at the Wankhede Stadium. If his bat fires in the powerplay, it could be a big blow to KKR’s strategy.
