KKR vs MI: IPL 2024 team news
Mumbai Indians will look to salvage their pride, having been mathematically knocked out of the tournament. They are second last on the points table with four wins from 12 matches. Meanwhile, Kolkata, having virtually guaranteed themselves a playoff berth, will be eying for a top-two finish. They sit comfortably at the top of the table with eight wins from 11 games.
Nitish Rana, who has recovered from a hand injury, may replace Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Vaibhav Arora will probably be subbed in or out, depending on whether Kolkata bat or bowl first.
For Mumbai, pace-bowling all-rounder Anshul Kamboj may get another game despite proving costly in their last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Piyush Chawla will likely be used as an Impact Player.
