Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 MI Confirmed Playing XI vs KKR

On March 31, the Mumbai Indians will host the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 12th IPL 2025 match at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, which will begin at 7:30 PM IST.

The Mumbai Indians come into this encounter following two straight losses to their archrivals, the Chennai Super Kings and the Gujarat Titans. On the other side, the Kolkata Knight Riders are on a high after defeating the Rajasthan Royals in their second encounter.

The Mumbai Indians‘ top and lower middle orders aren’t working well, with players like Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton unable to get off to a solid start. Mumbai’s bowling unit looks promising now that Hardik Pandya has joined the team. Pandiya offered solid depth in the bowling unit, taking two wickets in the opening match.
