Mumbai Indians will welcome defending champions the Kolkata Knight Riders to their den, the Wankhede Stadium, for what promises to be a high voltage clash on Monday. The two teams have a rivalry as old as the Indian Premier League itself and will pull out all stops in India’s financial capital in their bid to come out top trumps.
Both teams come into this fixture with contrasting fortunes. The home side sits bottom of the table with consecutive losses in their two opening matches while KKR recovered from their open day defeat, at home to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, with a win against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati, on Wednesday.
The two sides have played each other in 34 matches with MI having a significant upper hand in this rivalry. However, KKR can take solace from their last visit to the Wankhede stadium, having won that fixture by 24 runs. In fact, KKR did the double over MI last season as they beat them home and away in 2024 enroute to winning the IPL title.
Let us take a look at the key stats ahead of Monday’s blockbuster encounter.
