As a result of that, many unknown talents have made the stage of their own in the marquee league. And there is always someone that these youngsters can look up to and learn in the current MI setup – Jasprit Bumrah. His record against KKR is not bad either with 12 wickets from as many innings. Hardik Pandya features at second position with 11 scalps from 9 innings while Mitch McClenaghan has taken 7 wickets from 7 matches.

KKR batting stats vs Mumbai Indians

Kolkata Knight Riders’ batting lineup has not been as stable as their opponents over the years of IPL. From Saurav Ganguly era to the surprises of Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine to the hard-hitting master-class of Andre Russell, fans have witnessed almost everything from KKR. If we talk about numbers against Mumbai Indians, Chris Lynn is at the top of the tree with 205 runs from 8 innings. Andre Russell takes the following position with 174 runs from 9 innings. Shubman Gill has scored 120 runs while Nitish Rana has 107 runs from 5 innings.

Andre Russell has been destructive at home while Robin Uthappa leads the tables at away and neutral games. One fact is very clear from the tables, KKR will need new stars to emerge especially after the release of Robin Uthappa and Chris Lynn from the squad. Dinesh Karthik will have to set the records straight if KKR have any chances to do well against MI.

KKR bowling stats vs Mumbai Indians

Kolkata Knight Riders have struggled historically against Mumbai Indians and one of the main reasons for that is their bowling attack. KKR bowlers have underperformed massively against MI and it can be seen from the table of top-wicket takers. Sunil Narine is an exception with 22 wickets from 17 innings but there is a broad daylight after him. Shakib Al Hasan is at the second position with 10 scalps from 9 innings. Piyush Chawla and Andre Russell have taken 9 and 6 wickets respectively. Sunil Narine clearly stands out with an average of 20.67 and an economy of 6.87 from the list.

Sunil Narine leads every table for Kolkata Knight Riders against Mumbai Indians but team management would be hoping that others also take responsibility this time around. Clearly, KKR’s million dollar baby Pat Cummins and Lockie Ferguson will have something to say against Rohit Sharma and Co.
