Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders – Top Batsman
For KKR, our batting recommendations feature Sunil Narine, Phil Salt, and Rinku Singh. Despite Rinku’s subdued performance compared to his previous IPL exploits, his selection as a reserve player for India in the T20 World Cup signals latent potential. Salt’s recent back-to-back T20I centuries underline his soaring confidence.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians’ batting lineup relies on the prowess of Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, and Tilak Varma. Although Rohit seeks redemption after a string of low scores, his extensive T20 experience, including eight centuries, bodes well. Yadav’s consistency and recent IPL century highlight his impact.

In contrast, Mumbai Indians rely on Hardik Pandya, Piyush Chawla, and Jasprit Bumrah to deliver with the ball. Pandya’s recent form, grabbing seven wickets in three games, highlights his effectiveness.
