If this contest does not get you excited, then, nothing will. The clash will attract millions of eyeballs as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to lock horns in order to go into Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 playoffs with a win in their bag. KKR will be playing at their home ground, Eden Gardens, Kolkata. It is clearly a clash of the titans, they will give everything they have to end up on the first spot before IPL 2017 playoffs.
KKR are currently in the second spot with 8 wins from 13 games and a decent run rate. MI are one step ahead of them with 9 wins from 13 games. Though they have lost a few matches lately and will be looking to get back the momentum they have lost recently.
Gambhir will be opening the innings along with Chris Lynn instead of Sunil Narine. In the previous match, their batting lacked firepower with an exception of Lynn. Robin Uthappa did not live upto the expectations as he got out for a duck int the previous game. KKR have an upper hand over MI as they are familiar with the conditions at Eden Gardens.
On the other hand, MI lost their previous game at home, Wankhede Stadium as they were chasing a mammoth total. They have lost a few games recently and need their skipper Rohit Sharma to fire and provide the firepower in the middle overs.
