NEW DELHI: Hosts
Kolkata Knight Riders
run the risk of slipping away when they face resurgent defending champions and 'nemesis'
Mumbai Indians in an
IPL clash today.
KKR
have an onerous task at hand as they need to defy history against Mumbai Indians, who have won 17 of the 21 matches against the hosts across 11 seasons -- the most wins for an IPL team against any opponent. Their 13-run defeat at the Wankhede on May 6 stretched their losing streak to seven matches and 1125 days -- KKR's last win over Mumbai Indians was way back on April 8, 2015.
While KKR are fast running out of time, the most successful IPL franchise, MI, are peaking at the right time, a revival that's quite akin to their triumphant campaign in 2015 when the Rohit Sharma-led side won seven of their last eight matches en route the title.
Here are the details of when, where and how you can follow all the action from the IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians to be played today at the
Eden Gardens
in Kolkata.
