Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Mumbai Indians in the 5th match of Indian Premier League 2021 on April 13th, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
Mumbai Indians are the defending champions as well as the 5-time champions. However, their tendency to lose the first game is not hidden to anyone. For so many years straight, they have begun with a defeat. Even in the 14th edition, the trend continued as Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated them in the opening encounter of the tournament.
Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, had a pretty good start to their campaign this season. They emerged victorious against a strong Sunrisers Hyderabad unit. While MI would come out hard after the early loss, KKR would leave no stone unturned in trying to make it two victories in a row.

Rohit Sharma was looking good for a big score in the first game but unfortunately, he got run out for 19. On a pitch as difficult as Chennai, MI needs Rohit to deliver. KKR’s Shakib Al Hasan played ahead of Sunil Narine in the last game. It’s a big responsibility and the Bangladeshi all-rounder does have the potential to become a regular in the line-up.
