KKR vs MI Toss Factor

The wicket at the Eden Gardens has favoured the batters. In this edition, the venue has been good for the chasing team. The captain winning the toss will remember that the team chasing has won 66% of the matches.  

Scenario: If Kolkata Knight Riders win the toss

• The KKR team have a good grasp of the playing conditions at Eden Gardens. They would ideally want to chase down a target on winning the toss. Players like Sunil Narine, Phil Salt, and Andre Russell could be good C or VC choices from the KKR team in a chase.
• If the Kolkata Knight Riders are fielding first, bowlers like Varun Chakravarthy and Harshit Rana could be effective picks as the C or VC of the match. 

Scenario: If Mumbai Indians win the toss 

• Hardik Pandya might also trust his batting line-up and look to field first on winning the toss. For MI, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma could be the safer choices as a C or VC in a chase. 
• Irrespective of the toss result, Jasprit Bumrah should be a prime choice as the C or VC. He has been the best bowler on the MI side and is the only C or VC option in the MI bowling.

KKR vs MI Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks

Scenario: If Kolkata Knight Riders win the match

Sunil Narine (GT)

The Trinidadian all-rounder has been in brilliant all-round form in the tournament. Sunil Narine has delivered with both his trades whenever the team has needed him. The form that Narine has gained in the tournament makes him the safest choice as the C or VC for the match. 

Phil Salt (GT)

The English opener has been in good touch with the bat in IPL 2024. Phil Salt has played some quickfire knocks and has given some solid starts to the team. After Narine, Salt will be the safest choice from the KKR team as the C or VC.

Tilak Varma (MI)

This left-handed middle-order batter has been MI's most consistent run-scorer in the tournament. Tilak Varma has played good knocks in most matches and looks like one of the safer C or VC choices for the game. 

Jasprit Bumrah (MI)

The premium Indian pacer has been the best bowler for the Mumbai Indians. Jaspirt Bumrah has been economical and has picked up wickets in all stages of the game throughout the tournament. Even though the conditions are expected to be batting favourable, Bumrah could be a rewarding choice as the C or VC.

KKR vs MI High Risk, High Rewards

Shreyas Iyer (KKR)

The KKR-skipper is having a quiet time with the bat in the tournament. But Shreyas Iyer has the class to turn things around on any given day. He could be a highly rewarding C or VC choice for this match.

Rohit Sharma (MI)

After a brilliant hundred against the Chennai Super Kings, Rohit Sharma has suffered a dip in his batting form. However, Sharma has a good record at the Eden Gardens and will be looking to make the most of the batting conditions he favours. He can be a match-winner from the start of the innings, and that makes him a risky yet worthy choice as the C or VC of the match.

KKR vs MI Stay Aways

Angkrish Raghuvanshi (KKR)

After playing a promising knock on his IPL debut, Angkrish Raghuvanshi has not met the expectations. He is not in the best of rhythms currently and will not be an impactful option as the C or VC of the match. 

Naman Dhir (MI)

Despite getting regular chances at the top of the order, Naman Dhir has failed to deliver. He is yet to gain an impactful rhythm and could be avoided as the C or VC of the match.
