IPL 2022 | MI vs KKR | Match 56 Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

Onecricket

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will need to work on all three departments and make a quick turnaround when they take on the already eliminated side Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 56th encounter of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, scheduled to be played on Monday (May 09) at Dr DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai. 

KKR, who are standing on the brink of elimination, were handed a humiliating 75-run defeat at the hands of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their recent fixture. They stumbled in all three departments of the game, but their batting was a massive letdown as they were bundled out for just 101 runs while chasing 177. 

Kolkata Knight Riders - who are having a chaotic season - have made the most number of changes in the ongoing season of the IPL, and that tells you the behind-curation story of the two-time champions. The opening duo of Aaron Finch and Baba Indrajith hasn't worked for the Shreyas Iyer-led KKR, and they might bring Ajinkya Rahane to the top again.

With just four wins in 11 games, the Knight Riders are placed at the 9th spot on the points table and do not have much time to reanalyze their plans and strategies. They will need to win all their remaining games by a considerable margin to keep their slight hopes of playoff qualifications alive. One more loss from here on would be curtains for them, with the top four teams already having 12 points or more in their kitty. 

Meanwhile, the five-time champions, who were expected to be a force to reckon with after signing half a dozen youngsters in a mega auction ahead of the tournament, have failed to simulate their success this year. Instead, they became the first team of the season to face an early elimination after eight straight defeats. 

Though they got back to winning ways, it was too late for them. Their previous win came against the standing league leaders Gujarat Titans (GT), where Daniel Sams defended nine off the final over to help Mumbai win by five runs. They would look to sustain their winning momentum and get as many wins in their kitty to end their tournament campaign on a higher note.

Pitch Report 


The surface at Dr. DY Patil Stadium is an excellent one for batting, and batters will look to utilize the powerplay fully with a quick outfield. We saw a high-scoring affair last night at the same venue and can expect the same for this game as well. The quick bowlers will get some help in the early hours of the match and spinners will come into the picture as the game progresses. One can expect a score between 170-200 here, with both captains opting to chase after winning the toss.

'Will not be taking any questions regarding this matter': Paul Adams declines to testify against Mark Boucher

Former Proteas spinner Paul Adams has confirmed through a statement that he will not be a witness in the upcoming hearing of ex-teammate Mark Boucher. Adams said that things were misconstrued by a statement released on Sunday morning, and his appearance at Cricket South Africa's (CSA) Social Justice and Nation-Building (SJN) was not to criticise Boucher. The ex-South African leg-spinner made shocking allegations against Boucher at the SJN hearings in 2021, alleging racial discrimination from the now-Proteas coach in the late 1990s. The 45-year-old revealed in his own words that at the time, Boucher was among those who used to call him 'brown sh**' because of his skin colour. The cricketer-turned-head coach later apologised for his actions, but he was subsequently charged for blatant misconduct by CSA. As a result, the hearing was set for 16-20 May. Adams clarified that it wasn't his job or desire to find Boucher guilty or not and to be cross-examined. He is not eager to make any self-promotion out of the whole situation. "In conclusion, as has been a position from the start, I will not be taking any questions on to use with regards with this matter out of respect of the processes that South African cricket has embarked on and still need to conclude," Adams commented as reported by 'The South African'. Excerpts from Paul Adams' full statement In regards to attending SJN, Adams said, "the only time I confirmed a name was when the panel asked if I addressed Mark Boucher personally regarding the nickname and I replied that he was part of a broader group that sang the song and that I never addressed the matter within the team environment at the time. I was young and naïve at the time, trying to fit in and represent my country as best I could. I indicated, upon reflection and after discussing with my wife (my girlfriend at the time), that I felt humiliated by the song. Not at any stage did I mention any player's name who may have initiated the song."
