MI vs KKR: History with MI as they aim to derail spirited KKR’s winning juggernaut
MI are the only team to have consistently troubled KKR over the 15 seasons of IPL. MI have won a whopping 22 matches of the 31 matches played between these two sides. However, KKR slightly pulled things back in IPL 2022 season by winning both league matches against them. KKR have momentum this season as well after managing to get off to a good start. The Rohit Sharma-led MI finally got their mojo back after a thrilling win over DC.
Skipper Rohit fired with the bat in hand and scored an IPL fifty after 25 matches. His form at the top is crucial for MI if they harbor hopes of upsetting KKR.
