IPL 2021, KKR vs MI Live Score.IPL 2021, KKR vs MI Live Cricket Match Score Online Updates: Fresh from their clinical display against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will look to set the record straight against nemesis Mumbai Indians (MI) in their second IPL match on Tuesday. Eoin Morgan is unlikely to make any changes in the side. Varun Chakravarthy was slightly expensive and wicketless in the first game but is likely to feature in the clash against MI on a spin-friendly Chennai wicket.
On the other hand, MI continued their streak of losing their first match of the season. Hardik Pandya will play the match but won’t bowl again. The South African wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock is out of quarantine and available for selection. However, Chris Lynn did fairly well with his 49-run knock on his MI debut and may get another chance as Ishan Kishan can keep the stumps. Rahul Chahar was expensive in the first game giving 43 runs from his four overs. Rohit Sharma may rely on Piyush Chawla’s experience over Chahar for the match against KKR. The leg spinner was picked for Rs 2.4 crore in the auction by the franchise.
Harbhajan Singh opened the bowling for KKR against SRH. Eoin Morgan did not give Harbhajan another over for the remainder of the match. There was a dropped catch in his over as well. It will be interesting to see if Harbhajan opens against Rohit Sharma and Chris Lynn as well.
Hello and welcome to the live blog of IPL 2021's match number 5 to be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians. MI have had an upper hand if we look at the times these two teams have gone up against each other. Out of 27 games, KKR have won just 6 games against the five-time title winners. In the last season as well, MI won both their matches against KKR without breaking a sweat. It will be a test for Eoin Morgan's men to pin down Rohit Sharma's MI.
