On Monday, March 31, Mumbai Indians will lock horns against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium in their first home game of IPL 2025. MI are struggling for a win and have registered two straight defeats so far.
The Indians are expected to make several changes to the playing XI, while, KKR, who are fresh of a thumping win over RR, are expected to make a change as well. It is worth noting that the defending champions were forced to make one change and replace Sunil Narine from the playing XI.
Notably, Narine was unwell and got replaced by Moeen Ali in the team. Further, the fans are asking about update on Narine's health and whether the Caribbean star will feature against Mumbai Indians?
Will Sunil Narine Play against MI at Wankhede Stadium?
In a delight for Kolkata Knight Riders fans, Sunil has regained fitness and is all set to feature against MI in a high-octane thriller. A couple of days ago, several pictures floated on the internet where Narine hit the nets and practiced batting.
Further, KKR head coach Chandrakanth Pandit too shed light on Narine's fitness and remarked that the star all-rounder is all fit.
"Sunil is 100% fit. He has definitely recovered well and he's been practising since yesterday. Today he is practising as well so he is absolutely fine at the moment," KKR head coach Chandrakant Pandit said on Sunday.
Thus, Narine will find a place in the playing XI and Moeen Ali might be benched despite a strong performance against RR.
