KKR will look to their experienced players like Ajinkya Rahane and Andre Russell to guide them through this crucial match. Quinton de Kock’s brilliant knock in the previous match will keep him in the spotlight, while Sunil Narine’s return will add stability to their spin department. Spencer Johnson and Vaibhav Arora will need to find their rhythm with the ball, as they have been slightly expensive in previous outings.

Key Players to Watch in MI vs KKR IPL 2025

• Hardik Pandya vs Andre Russell – Both all-rounders will play key roles with bat and ball. A clash between the two will be crucial in determining the outcome of this match.
  
  
• Suryakumar Yadav vs Sunil Narine – Narine’s mystery spin could pose problems for Suryakumar, especially if he is able to control the middle overs.
  
  
• Trent Boult vs Rinku Singh – Boult’s left-arm pace could trouble the hard-hitting Rinku Singh, especially during the powerplay overs.

MI will be eager to turn their season around in front of their home crowd, but KKR’s all-around strength and form from their last match make them slight favorites.

MI will be eager to turn their season around in front of their home crowd, but KKR’s all-around strength and form from their last match make them slight favorites.

If MI's top order, led by Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, can fire, they have the firepower to challenge KKR.

Both teams are dealing with challenges, but KKR’s current form and the return of Sunil Narine give them a slight edge. However, MI's strength at home and the leadership of Hardik Pandya could turn things around for them.
