IPL Live Score 2026, MI vs KKR IPL Live Cricket Score Updates: Ajinkya Rahane 67(40) and Angrkish Raghuvanshi’s 51(29) half-centuries helped Kolkata Knight Riders to get 220/4 from 20 overs. Earlier, Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bowl first against Ajinkya Rahane’s Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. Both teams come into the contest with strong line-ups, making this a highly anticipated clash early in the tournament. Key focus will be on team combinations, impact players, and batting-friendly conditions in Mumbai
They may be one of two most succesfull teams in the history of the league and may have shown signs of a revival last season. But what has remained a constant for the Mumbai Indians through all their highs and lows is them generally getting off to poor starts, and particularly losing their opening matches of every season since 2012. Kolkata Knight Riders will be hoping that they can have that little piece of supernatural phenomenon on their side as they face an upbeat MI at their home stadium
KKR have got question marks at multiple places throughout their lineup whereas MI seem to be a pretty well set side at least on paper. With Harshit Rana out injured, KKR have an inexperienced fast bowling battery to go with their superstar spin duo of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy. The batting, on the other hand, has some seriously talented players, but how the management and captain Ajinkya Rahane will arrange it will decide the output that the fire-power oppositions are going to see.
Teams:
Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): Finn Allen, Ajinkya Rahane(c), Cameron Green, Angkrish Raghuvanshi(w), Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Anukul Roy, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakaravarthy, Vaibhav Arora, Blessing Muzarabani
