KKR vs MI, Toss Update: KKR Skipper Eoin Morgan Wins His First Toss In IPL 13, Decides To Bat First Against Mumbai Indians At Abu Dhabi. KKR have made two changes in their team from last game as Tom Banton and Nagarkoti gets replaced by Shivam Mavi and Green. For Mumbai, James Pattinson misses out and Nathan Coulter-Nile comes in as the only change in the Playing XI from their last game.
The season so far has been full of ups and down for the Kolkata Knight Riders team. The team has won four out of seven matches and finished fourth with eight points. On the other hand, the team of Mumbai Indians is completely in a different rhythm.
The team led by Rohit has won four matches in a row and is still in second place by winning five matches out of seven. Both teams would like to strengthen their position by winning today's match.
Young Shubman Gill, England's World Cup winning captain Eoin Morgan, Nitish Rana and captain Dinesh Karthik are the star batters of the team, but they have not been able to play valuable innings except for a few matches.
KKR bowlers had played a crucial role in the victory against Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Superkings, but failed to make a similar impact in their last game against RCB. In match against Bangalore, Pat Cummins was smacked for 38 runs and Prasidha Krishna was hammered for 42 runs. The bowling duo would like to forget the previous performance and return to form tonight.
Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma has scored both his half-centuries of this season on this ground and likes to play against KKR anyway. In the last match between these two teams, Rohit played a key role in his team's 49-run victory by scoring 80 runs.
