Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders: Mumbai Indians' Predicted Playing XI Against Kolkata Knight Riders, IPL 2022, Match 56, MI vs KKR

Mumbai Indians play the Kolkata Knight Riders in match 56 of IPL 2022 in Mumbai on May 9, Monday. KKR needs to win this game to stay alive in the playoff race. Mumbai, on the other hand, would like to avenge their previous defeat against the side earlier in the season.

Mumbai Indians won their previous two games after losing eighth on the trot to bow out of the season. The two wins came as a big relief for skipper Rohit Sharma who was a dejected man after the first eight losses. He batted well in the last couple of games but is yet to score his first fifty of the season. Alongside Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma is another Indian batsman who has disappointed this season.

Having registered two good wins, Mumbai Indians would not like to change the playing XI that they fielded against Gujarat Titans. Here is a look at Mumbai Indians’ predicted playing XI against KKR.

Ishan Kishan

Kishan scored a stylish 45 against Gujarat and played his part in giving his team a good asset. However, overall the season has been a disappointing one for MI something that he would like to change in the remaining games.

Suryakumar Yadav

SKY played his first game of the season and scored brisk fifty. He looks the only in-form and consistent batter in the season for Mumbai. He will slot in at number three.

Tilak Verma

Verma has impressed one and all with his outings so far in IPL 2022. He has scored 328 runs from 10 games and batted well in the middle overs for his side. He will slot in at number four.

Kieron Pollard

Pollard has been a big disappointment for Mumbai Indians. However, the balance of the team doesn’t allow them to get him rested for a few matches. Thus e will continue to be a part of the playing XI. He will hope to contribute substantially with the bat in the last few games. He is nowhere close to his best batting form.

Tim David

David finally made his presence felt in the last game playing a blinder of a knock. He should continue to be given opportunities in the remaining games. He can also be sent higher in the batting order.

Daniel Sams

Sams took his team to victory in the previous match against Gujarat Titans. The game was very much redemption for him. He will look to continue the good work in the remaining games.

Murugan Ashwin

Ashwin will be one of the spinners in the Mumbai Indians playing XI. The leg-spinner has taken 8 wickets so far this season. AGainst GT, he bowled a good spell of 29/ 2.

Kumar Kartikeya

Kumar Kartikeya will be the second spinner in the Mumbai Indians playing XI. He and Ashwin are two good spin options Mumbai have been playing with at the moment.

Jasprit Bumrah

Bumrah has not been his usual wicket-taking self for Mumbai Indians. So far he has taken only five wickets in the season and was expensive against GT as he went for 48 runs.

Riley Meredith

Meredith will conclude Mumbai’s predicted playing XI against KKR. He went for 32 off his spell but went wicketless. However, Mumbai will hold onto him for the next game.
