KKR vs MI Pitch Report
The pitch at the Maharashtra Cricket Stadium is a good one to bat on despite there being ample help available for the pacers. The batters should enjoy the carry and bounce off the surface. As the match progresses, there could be some turn available for the spinners, who will be key in the middle overs. Wickets in hand will be key, with both IPL teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss. 170 is par at the venue, with the dew factor bound to come into play in the second innings.
Today’s KKR vs MI Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Ishan Kishan: Ishan Kishan has been sensational at the top of the order for MI, coming up with impactful knocks in both of his side's IPL 2022 games this season, albeit in losing causes. The southpaw has looked good against both pace and spin and should be a fine addition to your KKR vs MI Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Shreyas Iyer: Shreyas Iyer hasn't been able to translate his international form into the IPL just yet. However, the KKR captain is one of the most consistent batters in the competition and will be keen to get a big one today. Although his record against Mumbai isn't eye-catching, Iyer could be backed to get some runs in this game.
All-rounder
Andre Russell: Andre Russell was the star of the show with the bat as KKR thumped Punjab Kings in a rather one-sided IPL 2022 game. The burly West Indian has found his groove with the bat, with his big-hitting abilities being well-documented in IPL folklore. Adding his bowling prowess into the mix, Russell should be a must-have in your KKR vs MI Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Jasprit Bumrah: Jasprit Bumrah, after a disappointing start to his IPL 2022 campaign, stormed back into wicket-taking form, picking up three wickets against the Rajasthan Royals. He is perhaps the best bowler going around in the competition given his effectiveness across all phases of an innings. One can bank on Bumrah to deliver the goods against KKR as well.
