Welcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the encounter between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders taking place in Mumbai.
MI have boosted its already strong side with the trading in of Sherfane Rutherford and Shardul Thakur. It remains to be seen if the two new players will find an immediate berth in the settled playing eleven. With Will Jacks and Mitchell Santner set to miss out for the first few games, the overseas four will be much easier to choose.
KKR have a lot more questions regarding its team combination due to a slew of injuries to its pace battery. India regulars Harshit Rana and Akash Deep will miss the entire season. Sri Lanka’s big-money signing Matheesha Pathirana is yet to join the squad after clearing a fitness test in his home country.
