Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 24th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Having already played seven matches in the tournament, Mumbai Indians need to bring in consistency to their campaign. A win tonight at home against the Kolkata Knight Riders would definitely help after they beat Kings XI Punjab in their previous game.

Knight Riders, on the other hand, have won four out of five and are comfortably placed in the second spot. Their only loss came against Mumbai Indians on their own home turf. A win tonightwill send them to the top ahead of the Gujarat Lions on run rate. They overcame a spirited Rising Pune Supergiants outfit to record a thrilling two-wicket win in their previous game but they will be hoping to get one past the home side tonight in this reverse fixture.

Rohit Sharma has a tremendous record at the Eden Gardens against Mumbai Indians but hasn't scored even a single fifty in five attempts at the Wankhede against the same opposition. Can he set the record straight tonight? Gautam Gambhir had lot of nice things to say about the elegant right-hander ahead of the game.

Mumbai Indians opt to bowl considering the dew that could have an impact later in the day. They are unchanged but Kolkata have brought in Chris Lynn for this game. He replaces Morne Morkel. Piyush Chawla makes way for Jaydev Unadkat.

Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): Robin Uthappa(w), Gautam Gambhir(c), Suryakumar Yadav, Chris Lynn, Shakib Al Hasan, Yusuf Pathan, Andre Russell, Rajagopal Sathish, Jaydev Unadkat, Umesh Yadav, Sunil Narine

Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Parthiv Patel(w), Ambati Rayudu, Jos Buttler, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Harbhajan Singh, Tim Southee, Mitchell McClenaghan, Jasprit Bumrah

Gambhir is a lucky man! Will he make it count though? He pulls McClenaghan but manages to get a top edge. Four or five players try to come under it but the bowler wants to take it himself and lets the ball slip through his hands. He is disgusted with himself.

The openers have delivered again for the Knight Riders. Robin Uthappa in particular,is looking in amazing touch and has already hit two sixes. KKR have scored 59 in the powerplay.
