Both team captains at the toss

Rohit Sharma: Feeling good. Looking forward to the game. Just one change; Anmol who played so well unfortunately misses out. Not a lot to be honest (spoken after the last game). Certain basics of cricket that was missed, we need to do right. We have spoken about it and hopefully, we can execute today. It is a good positive to have but I personally understand that every day is a new day. T20 is a format that you have to be good on that particular day.

Eoin Morgan: We are going to bowl first. It worked in the first game and we are going for the same formula. Not getting complacent and sport has the knack to bite you in the backside. We have kept the same side.

MI vs KKR -Preview

Eoin Morgan led Kolkata Knight Riders had a terrific start to the second phase of the IPL 2021 after they thrashed Royal Challengers Bangalore by nine wickets and 10 overs to spare on Monday. Sitting fifth in the table, Knight Riders will be aiming to continue their dominant form against Mumbai Indians when both teams will square off at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on September 23, Thursday.

Mumbai Indians got off to a bad start in IPL 2021 phase 2 as they faced a disappointing defeat against MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings in the second phase opener on Sunday. However, with regular skipper Rohit Sharma and all-rounder, Hardik Pandya set to return, the defending champions will be at their full strength on Thursday. They are sitting fourth at the table with four wins and as many defeats in eight outings.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians have an upper hand when it comes to head-to-head meetings of both sides. In a total of 28 meetings, Mumbai has won 22 games while Kolkata has managed just six wins so far.

MI vs KKR Last meeting: Mumbai Indians secured 10 runs win over Kolkata Knight Riders when both teams met at Chennai in the first phase of the tournament. The Rohit Sharma-led side restricted Knight Riders at 142/7 in response to their 152 runs total on the board, courtesy to Rahul Chahar’s 4-27.

Will Mumbai Indians continue its dominance over the Knight Riders or will the Eoin Morgan-led side continue their red hot form? The match will start at 07:30 PM IST and will live stream on the Hotstar app in India.
