MI vs KKR Head to Head in IPL: Mumbai Indians Clear Winners

Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders: Head to Head 

It is obviously very difficult to read into a head to head record between two teams, as there are considerable changes in the team combination from season to season. What started as a battle between Kolkata's Sourav Ganguly and Mumbai's Sachin Tendulkar has evolved into Gambhir led KKR vs Sharma led MI. Both teams, Mumbai Indians, and Kolkata Knight Riders have been champions of the IPL two times proving their success in the competition. 

As can be clearly seen in the table below, Mumbai Indians have the upper hand in the battle. Out of the seventeen fixtures between these two sides, Kolkata has only managed to win only five. This fixture is clearly a banana peel for the KKR, they didn’t have a sniff in the first five matches, losing by huge margins on each occasion. They haven’t done the double against Mumbai Indians apart from their Championship winning season of 2014. Outcomes of recent fixtures also favour Mumbai, having won each of their last two games against the Kolkata outfit. More importantly, MI was responsible for KKR's only loss this season. 

If ever there was a personification of Achilles Heel, this is it.
