Rohit Sharma vs Kolkata Knight Riders

Rohit Sharma is back amongst the runs in the last game. His fifty is something of a start for them and Mumbai Indians need their skipper to be consistent with an inexperienced batting line-up.

Suryakumar Yadav vs Kolkata Knight Riders

Though Suryakumar Yadav is going through a bit of a slump, his is still their key batter and if he gets going, there’s no stopping. Suryakumar Yadav is due for a big one this season and Mumbai needs him to fire at all costs in this crucial game.

Nitish Rana vs Mumbai Indians

Rinku Singh vs Mumbai Indians

Rinku Singh has been phenomenal for Knight Riders, even in the last season he almost pulled off a heist against Lucknow but this time he did it against Titans and he almost got his team over the line against Sunrisers. Rinku has been coming off age now and he’s showing that he’s a dangerous batter coming down the order who can finish games on his own.
