Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is all set to lock horns against Mumbai Indians (MI) today in match 14 of the Tata IPL 2022 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune.
While KKR is positioned second on the points table while Mumbai Indians are placed at the eighth spot. KKR have played three games so far winning two out of them, while MI has lost both the games they have played so far.
The Shreyas Iyer-led side has Australian Test captain Pat Cummins joining the camp last week, he would also be available for selection.
As far as Mumbai Indians are concerned, they had missed Suryakumar Yadav's services for a long time, but he might now be included in the playing 11 in this game and that could strengthen their middle-order.
