TEAM NEWS
Mumbai Indians, the most successful side in IPL, are probably having their worst-ever campaign. But after losing the first eight matches, Rohit Sharma & Co have pulled off two stunning wins against playoff contenders Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans. And on Monday, they can effectively end Kolkata Knight Riders' campaign.
The five-time champions are likely the field the same XI that beat Gujarat Titans by five runs. Likely playing XI:
Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Tim David, Kieron Pollard, Daniel Sams, Murugan Ashwin, Kumar Kartikeya, Jasprit Bumrah, Riley Meredith.
Kolkata Knight Riders have had their share of winless run, a five on the trot in April. Then Shreyas Iyer & Co. seemed to have revived their campaign with a win against Rajasthan Royals, but lost the next match by 75 runs. Now, they need three massive wins to stand a chance for the playoffs.
Following the script, the two-time champions are likely to tweak their playing XI again. Here's how they started in the last match against Lucknow Super Giants:
Aaron Finch, Baba Indrajith (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, Anukul Roy, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Tim Southee, Shivam Mavi, Harshit Rana.
