Toss Update:
Mumbai Indians have won the toss and opted to field first in the crucial game against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on 31st March 2025.
Preview:
The iconic Wankhede Stadium is all set to host its first match of IPL 2025, with Mumbai Indians (MI) taking on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Monday, March 31. This clash will pit the five-time champions against the defending champions at one of the most famous venues in the IPL.
Mumbai Indians have had a tough start to the season, with two consecutive losses, including a defeat to Gujarat Titans at Motera. They will be looking to bounce back and get their campaign back on track in this crucial encounter. Hardik Pandya and his team will be determined to turn things around and secure a much-needed win.
Kolkata Knight Riders, meanwhile, will head into this match with confidence after their victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Guwahati. However, they have not been as consistent as they were during their title-winning run last season. This match will also be a special homecoming for KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane, who has spent much of his career at Wankhede Stadium.
