In the 41st match of the 11th season of Indian Premier League (IPL) on Wednesday, Kolkata Knight Riders led by newly crowned Dinesh Karthik and Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians will face each other at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

So far, Kolkata has won five matches and lost five, and are at the fourth spot on the IPL table — just behind Kings XI Punjab. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma’s side is at the fifth spot, with four wins and six losses.

Recovering from a slow start, defending champions MI recorded back-to-back wins against Kings XI Punjab and KKR to jump to the fifth spot (8 points from 10 games) on the table, a rung below their rivals (10 points from 10 games).

KKR, meanwhile, have blown hot and cold, winning five and losing an equal number of matches.

While the Dinesh Karthik-led side has not managed to string together consistent performances, MI led by India’s limited-over Vice Captain Rohit Sharma have looked like a team on a mission to turn the tide in their favour at the end of the season.

Mumbai was on the verge of falling by the wayside after a series of reversals before they managed to pull through in the previous two games.

KKR vs MI head-to-head:

MI has 17 wins and 5 losses against KKR so far.

At the venue, there have been eight clashes so far. MI has won 6 matches, KKR 2.
