TEAM NEWS, SQUADS, PREDICTED XIs
MI SQUAD:
Rohit Sharma (C), Jasprit Bumrah, Jos Buttler, Shreyas Gopal, Krishnappa Gowtham, Asela Gunaratne, Harbhajan Singh Mitchell Johnson, Kulwant Khejroliya , Siddhesh Lad, Mitchell McClenaghan, Lasith Malinga, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Parthiv Patel (W), Kieron Pollard, Nicholas Pooran, Deepak Punia, Nitish Rana, Ambati Rayudu, Jitesh Sharma, Karn Sharma, Lendl Simmons, Tim Southee, Jagadeesha Suchith, Saurabh Tiwary, Vinay Kumar
Mumbai did not have a good start in their opener against Pune, where they lost a close game, with just one delivery remaining.
Rohit Sharma’s men could make changes to the batting line-up as they look to make big runs, especially as they have the likes of Kieron Pollard and Jos Buttler in their ranks.
The bowling, though, has looked a little wobbly and the lack of a quality spinner is a major concern.
However, the arrival of Lasith Malinga will boost spirits and the Sri Lankan certainly brings wickets to the table.
PREDICTED MI XI: Rohit (c), Parthiv (wk), K Pandya, Buttler, Rayudu, Pollard, H Pandya, Rana, Southee/Malinga, McClenaghan, Bumrah.

KKR SQUAD:
Gautam Gambhir (C), Trent Boult, Darren Bravo, Piyush Chawla, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Colin de Grandhomme, Rishi Dhawan, Sayan Ghosh, Sheldon Jackson, Ishank Jaggi, Kuldeep Yadav, Chris Lynn, Sunil Narine, Manish Pandey, Yusuf Pathan, Rovman Powell, Ankit Rajpoot, R Sanjay Yadav, Shakib Al Hasan, Robin Uthappa (W), Chris Woakes, Suryakumar Yadav, Umesh Yadav.
Kolkata have had a dream start to their IPL 10 campaign as they plundered Gujarat Lions in their opener, by ten wickets. Chris Lynn and Gambhir chased 180 plus in under 15 overs, showcasing their class in the batting department.
KKR’s bowling came up good as well in the middle overs as they didn’t allow the opposition to score easily.

PREDICTED KKR XI: Gambhir (c), Uthappa (wk), Lynn, Pandey, Y Pathan, SK Yadav, C Woakes, Chawla, Narine, Kuldeep Boult.
