The Kolkata Knight Riders will be looking to become the first team with three wins this season as they take on the Mumbai Indians at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on April 06th, 2022. In today’s IPL match though, Mumbai would look to win their first game as they have been defeated twice in the two games in the IPL 2022 season so far.
IPL 2022 Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians Toss Timing
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians today's IPL 2022 match will begin at 07:30 pm IST and 1400 hrs GMT. Thus the toss between Kolkata skipper Shreyas Iyer and Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma would take place 30 minutes before the match start time. Hence, the KKR vs MI toss would take place at 07:00 pm IST and 1330 hrs GMT.
Here's how the Playing 11 of KKR and MI would look like
Pat Cummins will finally be available for the Knight Riders and he will straightaway come in for Tim Southee in the Playing 11 while the rest of the team will remain the same as the one that beat Punjab Kings in the last game.
As for Mumbai Indians, if Suryakumar Yadav would be fit, he would come in the team in place of Anmolpreet Singh and if he is not fit, Tamil Nadu’s batting all-rounder R Sanjay Yadav could be tried in place of Anmolpreet who hasn’t really got going. In that Scenario, Tilak Varma could bat at number three with Tim David coming at number four, Sanjay Yadav at five followed by Kieron Pollard and Daniel Sams as seven proper batting options.
Another change that Mumbai can bring in is by playing Jaydev Undakat in place of Basil Thampi as he would also support the batters by coming in at number eight and his slower ones can be used better on a gripping wicket of Pune.
