Mumbai Indians would need to step up their game as they take on Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL at the MCA stadium in Pune. MI has not given off the lethal look they possess which earned them the IPL title five times in the past already, they have lost their opening games to Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals already with a good margin too.
Skipper Rohit Sharma has the task to make things happen for MI as they face a better looking KKR who has just beaten Punjab Kings by six wickets.
MI’s bowling needs improvement with pacer Basil Thampi and spinner Murugan Ashwin struggling to throw the ball in their favour and the Royals had a field day against them hitting 58 runs in four overs. Australia's seamer Daniel Sams has yet to pick up a wicket and has also conceded a lot of runs as well. MI is missing the support of Suryakumar Yadav and shrugs on his responsibility to Anmolpreet Singh, Tim David and West Indian Kieron Pollard.
