Mumbai vs Kolkata IPL Match Prediction

The two sides are well-matched on paper, but KKR’s momentum after starting their season with a victory could shift the scale in their favor. The game will take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai which is considered a good batting wicket. However, spinners might get a little help from the pitch from time to time, especially in the middle overs.

If we talk about the head-to-head record of the two sides, MI clearly has an upper hand over KKR. The two juggernauts have battled against each other 27 times and the blues have emerged victorious 21 times!

Mumbai Indians Playing XI (likely)

Rohit Sharma, Chris Lynn, Surya Kumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Marco Jansen, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah.

Kolkata Knight Riders Playing XI (likely)

Khiladi Adda Monster Battle Combo tips

With the craze of IPL growing with each passing match, every day more and more cricket fans are entering the world of fantasy sports. Speaking of fantasy sports, here is an assessment of the “Monster Battle” combos in the Fan Battle mode of the Khiladi Adda app.

Combo 1 – Rohit Sharma, Krunal Pandya, and Prasidh Krishna

In the first combination, the biggest feature is Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma. During his IPL career, Sharma has built a reputation of being an excellent opener. However, he had an underwhelming IPL 202 according to his standards, and even in the first match of IPL 2021, he failed to even cross 20 runs. But knowing Rohit, he might make a huge comeback in this upcoming match.

After impressing fans on the international stage, Krunal Pandya is back with MI to help his team win their third consecutive IPL title. In his first game this year, Pandya scored just 7 runs and failed to help the team win the opening game of the tournament.

While MI players are going through a bit of a rough patch, KKR started their season with a bang. On Sunday, KKR easily defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad and Prasidh Krishna played a major role in the victory. He took two important wickets during his spell, but will he be able to do his magic in Chennai?

Combo 2 – Pat Cummins, Kieron Pollard, and Eoin Morgan

If you are searching for a combo that is perfectly balanced then it doesn’t gets any better than this. Featuring pace bowler Pat Cummins, all-rounder Kieron Pollard, and top order batsman Eoin Morgan, you can try to invest your coin in this combo on the Khiladi Adda app.

As for their forms, Pollard failed to shine in the first match of IPL 2021 as he managed to score just 7 runs. On the other hand, KKR did win their first game but both Morgan and Cummins didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.

Combo 3 – Jasprit Bumrah, Andre Russell, and Dinesh Karthik

Jasprit Bumrah is one of the best bowlers in the entire world at this moment. Even in the first game of the season Bumrah took 2 wickets and gave just 26 runs in his spell. The other two players in the combo are Andre Russell and Dinesh Karthik. Russell continued his poor form from IPL 2020 as he was sent to the pavilion early against SRH. Karthik played his role by scoring 22 runs with a strike rate of 244.44!

Combo 4 – Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Hardik Pandya

If you are a die hard Mumbai Indians fan then this combo will gauge your interest. Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Hardik Pandya are core players for MI and the team relies on them to get them out of the tough situations. Can the trio achieve that against KKR? If you believe that then why not invest your coins in the Khiladi Adda app and try to win a few rewards?

Combo 5 – Shubhman Gill, Andre Russell, Varun Chakravarthy

Earlier we discussed an all MI combo, now it’s time for a combo that Kolkata Knight Riders will love. This combo features exciting stars like Shubhman Gill, Andre Russell, and Varun Chakravarthy. However, all three players failed to impress fans in the last game. As Gill and Russell scored just 15 and 5 runs respectively, while Chakravarthy failed to take any wickets.

Combo 6 – Trent Boult, Hardik Pandya, and Chris Lynn

Talking about the next combo for the upcoming battle between MI and KKR, it is arguably one of the top combos featured on Khiladi Adda. Chris Lynn was just one run shy off of scoring a half-century in the opening game. Boult took one wicket but was a bit expensive as he gave away 36 runs in four overs. Pandya must be looking forward to forget his 13 runs performance in the last game and make a grand comeback today.

Combo 7 – Rahul Tripathi, Marco Jansen, and Kieron Pollard

Rahul Tripathi scored a sensational 53 runs in his last outing so he is expected to continue his hot form in today’s game as well. For MI, Marco Jansen was quite economical and even took two wickets while leaking just 28 runs. As for Pollard, he is still searching for his form coming into this match vs KKR.

Combo 8 – Nitish Rana, Pat Cummins, and Shakib Al Hasan

Nitish Rana was fabulous in KKR’s first match of IPL 2021. The 27-year-old opener scored a blazing 80 runs and was the star for KKR in the first match. The next two players in this combo are Pat Cummins and Shakib Al Hasan, both of them didn’t get any chance to truly show their potential against SRH. So this is one thing to keep an eye out for in the face off of MI and KKR.

Combo 9 – Rahul Tripathi, Prasidh Krishna, and Krunal Pandya

This is combo is quite similar to the first combo, there is just one change instead of MI captain Rohit Sharma, KKR’s Rahul Tripathi is the main highlight of this exciting combination.
