MI vs KKR, the match 14th of Tata IPL 2022, is scheduled to be played at MCA stadium in Pune from 7:30 PM IST on 6th April 2022.
Team Updates:
Mumbai Indians have lost both of their matches in the tournament due to the middle-order not being able to fire in the end. Anmolpreet Singh playing at number 3 instead of an injured Suryakumar Yadav, has failed to leave any mark on the game. Also, Keiron Pollard and Tim David are yet to showcase their power-hitting. Nevertheless, Suryakumar Yadav is expected to make a comeback in the MI vs KKR clash playing XI.
With Yadav and a newfound talent in Tilak Varma, Mumbai Indians will once again boast of a formidable middle-order they are known for. Jasprit Bumrah is bowling well for them in the death overs, but MI lack a strike bowler in the powerplay due to Jofra Archer not competing in this year’s tournament.
Kolkata Knight Riders have played good cricket so far and have won 2 out of the 3 games they have played in the tournament. Umesh Yadav is exceptional during the powerplay and leading the charts for purple cap holder in IPL 2022. Also, Andre Russell came back to form with a knock of 70 against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The only worry for KKR right now is Shreyas Iyer and Nitish Rana’s batting. Both players have got a good start in the previous three matches but have failed to convert their starts into a big inning. Iyer and Rana are experienced campaigners, and one would hope that the duo will rectify their faults in MI vs KKR clash.

MI: Ishan Kishan (WK), Rohit Sharma (Captain), Anmolpreet Singh/ Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Tim David, Daniel Sams, M Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills, Jaydev Unadkat
