Narine has an outstanding record against MI with the ball in hand. He has bagged 21 wickets in 16 games at an economy of 6.87. The last time when KKR met MI in Abu Dhabi, Narine took four wickets haul. He will also be looking forward to adding some coins with his bats.
Seeing Rohit stats against KKR, it looks like he likes to bat against Riders. In 25 matches against them, the hitman has 824 runs at an average and strike-rate of 45.78 and 133.77 respectively. In addition to this, he has top-scored of unbeaten 109 against KKR along with five half-centuries.
Ahead of their next clash Mumbai Indians declared Krunal Pandya as MI main weapon and one of the key players going forward. Krunal Pandya has an economy rate of 6.86 against the Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League. He can play the role of game changer for Mumbai Indians.
Andre Russell is unpredictable with both bat and ball. Andre Russell’s strike rate of 186 is the highest in IPL history. He was awarded with player of the tournament last year for 511 runs and 11 scalps. Mentor Hussy says, he could even bat at number 3 if situation dictates. The Jamaican giant has recently scored 222 runs in nine games striking at 141.40 in CPL 2020.
Records suggest that KKR has always seen themselves trailing against Mumbai Indians. However, we cannot forget that KKR in 2014 beat the Mumbai-based franchise by 41 runs at this location, so Knights can imagine their odds against them. Even though MI will be looking to make amends, Dinesh Karthik and Co will want a winning start.
