The Mumbai Indians are used to starting off seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL) a little but slowly and they began the second leg of IPL 2021 with a loss as well, against Chennai Super Kings. Currently, they’re at the bottom of the top four on the IPL 2021 points table with 4 wins in 4 games and they’ll be looking at getting a win and some momentum moving into the latter half of this tournament.
They’ll be playing IPL 2021 Match 34, this one against Kolkata Knight Riders. They’ve got only 3 wins in 8 games so far in IPL 2021 but they’ve got a slight boost in confidence with a victory in the last game, where they absolutely crushed Royal Challengers Bangalore to complete an easy victory.

Stats that matter

- Sunil Narine – only 3 wickets in 5 games in IPL 2021.
Mumbai Indians
We spoke about how the pacers are going to be more important than spinners in the UAE and that was evident when Rahul Chahar went wicketless and it was Boult, Milne and Bumrah who got the wickets against CSK. Let’s pick Adam Milne in our MI vs KOL fantasy team because most will be picking the other two, more popular pacers. Captain Rohit Sharma wasn’t fit to play the last game and if he returns, he’ll take over captaincy and will replace Anmolpreet Singh.
With Hardik Pandya not 100% fit either, it’s likely Saurabh Tiwary will get another run in the IPL 2021 today. However, because of the lack of an added bowling option, it’s likely tat Kieron Pollard will bowl a couple of overs at least, so he’s a must have in your MI vs KOL My11Circle team today. With the bat, everyone will have their eyes on Quinton de Kock but I’m more interested in the other wicket-keeper batsman in Ishan Kishan.
Kolkata Knight Riders
We spoke about Rahul Tripathi opening the innings but even after trying Narine and Rana at the top with Shubman Gill, they decided to try Venkatesh Iyer as opener. He scored 41* on IPL debut and is likely to keep his spot, which means we’ll pick him in our My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) MI vs KOL fantasy team, while dropping Tripathi. All-rounder Andre Russell was fit to bowl 3 overs and he got 3 wickets as well as promoted to bat at number #3, so he can’t be left out.

With at least two left-handers in the MI top order, KKR may be tempted to play Harbhajan Singh today but it’s unlikely as they wouldn’t want to tamper with their winning combination. It’s been months since the last time Eoin Morgan got a half-century across tournaments, so we’re leaving him out but if you’re looking at an extra bowling option, we have Lockie Ferguson whose added pace may trouble a few batsmen.
