IPL 2021, KKR vs MI Preview: Mumbai Indians Aim First Win Of Season, Face Kolkata Knight Riders

IPL 2021: After registering a 10-run win over SunRisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders will aim to build on the winning momentum when they take on Mumbai Indians on Tuesday.

Fresh from their clinical display against Sunrisers Hyderabad, two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders will look to set the record straight against nemesis Mumbai Indians in their second IPL match in Chennai on Tuesday. Having missed the last two playoffs, KKR looked a completely different unit in the manner in which they defeated SRH by 10 runs in their IPL opener on Sunday. Be it the aggression shown by the top-order or the explosive finish by Dinesh Karthik, KKR displayed a fearless approach under skipper Eoin Morgan. Morgan's intent was evident right at the toss when he chose to leave out their most-trusted lieutenant, Sunil Narine. The left-right opening combination of Nitish Rana and Shubman Gill started to attack right from the first ball, clearly indicating that the new approach had Morgan's success mantra written all over it. Boasting of a solid middle-order in Andre Russell, Karthik and Morgan, 2020 was a season of promise for KKR but some rudderless planning did not help their cause.
