Mumbai Indians will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in a thrilling match at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. Both teams have not had the best start to the season, with KKR about to join MI as the only clubs to have given up on making the IPL 2022 playoffs. Despite a poor start, the Mumbai Indians have won their last two games and will no doubt be looking to wrap up the season on a high note.
The Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, started the campaign well but have since been on a slump, with six losses in the previous seven games. With just four wins from 11 games, KKR doesn't have much time to rethink their strategy and will need to deliver their A-game shortly. The combination of Aaron Finch and Baba Indrajith at the top isn't working, so they'll probably bring in Ajinkya Rahane and Sam Billings to provide stability.

Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders Match 56 – Players to Watch
Shreyas Iyer
The season has been hot and cold for the KKR captain who now knows that he needs to win this game to stay in the playoff conversation. The runs haven't come easy to him, but when he's dug deep, he's produced those long, useful innings. The Mumbai Indians have now won two games in a row and will be looking to carry on this winning momentum against the vulnerable KKR side and the team will be counting on their captain to lead from the front.
andre russell
He has been one of the most reliable players on the KKR field this season and, despite being one of the oldest members of the team, he is clearly one of the most active players on the field. In the past, he has been very resourceful with the bat and the ball, but later, he has focused on his hitting and transformed into a more complete hitter. His presence in the order is critical for KKR and we expect him to make a big impact against the Mumbai Indians.
Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav has been the most consistent player for the Mumbai Indians this season. He was caught for 13 in the previous game and will be eager to make up for it with a big score. The right-hander has 303 runs in eight games for the Mumbai Indians this season and will be crucial to the franchise's success. The fact that he can play anywhere in the batting order will be good for Rohit Sharma, who has started to show signs of form.
murugan ashwin
He started the tournament well but has since faded and, despite getting the backing of his captain, he has been unable to deliver those wickets. He may be very cheap but what the Mumbai Indians need is land and we trust him to back us up and be good against the Kolkata Knight Riders.
