Both are coming off contrasting results: MI lost to CSK while KKR registered an emphatic victory over RCB.

Earlier in the season when the two met, in Chennai, Rohit Sharma’s team produced a brilliant comeback with the ball, as KKR collapsed from 72/0 to 140/7, losing the match by 10 runs. Rahul Chahar, who has now been selected in India’s T20 World Cup squad, was impressive with a four-wicket haul.
