One of the strongest sides on paper in IPL 2022, Kolkata Knight Riders has made a decent start to their season so far. They’ve managed 2 wins in 3 games and their last outing saw them overpowering Punjab Kings, which means they’re coming into this next game with a renewed confidence. However, they haven’t always had the best of records against this opposition they’re playing in IPL 2022 Match 14 in Pune.
They’re playing Mumbai Indians who are yet to win a game in IPL 2022, losing both their encounters this season so far. In the last game, they came close but they’re feeling the heat for having less depth in their middle order as of now. They failed to chase 65 in 6 overs in the last game, where they had 7 wickets to spare too. Keep reading for our complete MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) KOL vs MI fantasy preview…

Kolkata Knight Riders
The new ball bowlers have been great for KKR in IPL 2022 so far. Umesh Yadav is a must pick because he’s got wickets in every game with the new ball and has 8 scalps in 3 outings so far. Tim Southee not usually known for his T20 bowling, has bee great too. It basically means he should retain his place in the side despite Pat Cummins completing his quarantine and being available for selection. He may replace Sam Billings in the side.
While everyone in the team plays an aggressive brand of cricket, we’re expecting more from Ajinkya Rahane who will play the sheet anchor role in the team. If he’s out there till the 8th-10th over, the side is guaranteed a good start and we’re picking him in our KOL vs MI fantasy team today. Shreyas Iyer is brimming with confidence of captaining the side and that’ll show in his batting as well, so we’re picking him too.
Mumbai Indians
Biggest news for them is that Suryakumar Yadav is now 100% fit after his wrist injury and if Mumbai decides to play him today, it’ll be at the expense of Anmolpreet Singh. After being picked for the highest bid amount in the IPL 2022 Auction, wicket-keeper batsman Ishan Kishan is proving his worth with fifties in both game so far, so there’s no reason why we won’t be picking him today in our KOL vs MI Dream11 team.

If you’re looking at another batting option, there’s Tilak Varma who scored a maiden IPL fifty in the last game and we really like his technique, so we’re adding him to our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) KOL vs MI fantasy team. With the ball, Tymal Mills is the safest bet with all his T20 variations but among the Indian pace department, there’s a chance of Jaydev Unadkat coming in for Basil Thampi.
