In a massive boost for the Kolkata Knight Riders, premier fast bowler Pat Cummins has already completed his mandatory quarantine period and will definitely be available for selection during the upcoming game against Mumbai Indians scheduled on 6 April, 2022 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Cummins is very much likely to walk straight into the KKR playing XI with Sheldon Jackson replacing Sam Billings as the wicket-keeper batsman. Tim Southee has bowled really well in the last two games in order to retain his place in the side.
