The MI-KKR rivalry has so far been a one-sided affair. In 35 meetings, Mumbai have won 24, while the Knight Riders have only managed to win 11.
In last year’s only fixture between the two sides at the Wankhede, Mumbai coasted to a comfortable eight-wicket victory, chasing down KKR’s below par target of 116 in 13 overs.
MI, which carries the reputation of being a slow starter, will be keen to start its campaign with a victory, having won its opening fixture only four times in 19 years — its last victory coming all the way back in 2012.
