Match Background
The five-time title holders, Mumbai Indians (MI), host the three-time champions, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), at their home ground. Historically, this rivalry has been dominated by Mumbai, who have secured 24 wins compared to Kolkata’s 11 across 35 encounters.
In their previous meeting at the Wankhede last year, Mumbai secured a dominant eight-wicket win. They successfully chased KKR’s total of 116 in just 13 overs. Despite being known as slow starters with only four opening-day wins in 19 years (the last occurring in 2012), MI will be looking to break that trend this season. In the 2025 standings, MI reached the top four, whereas KKR concluded their season in eighth place.
