MI vs KKR Today Match: Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in what promises to be a thrilling encounter in IPL 2025. While MI will have the home advantage at Wankhede Stadium, the challenge won’t be easy. KKR’s deadly trio is back, and one of them has been Rohit Sharma’s biggest nightmare in T20 cricket.

Sunil Narine Returns – A Major Threat to Rohit Sharma

Sunil Narine, who missed the last game due to illness, is all set to make his comeback for KKR. His return is a massive boost for Kolkata, but a big concern for Rohit Sharma. The star spinner has dominated Rohit in T20 cricket, dismissing him 10 times so far.

Currently, Dwayne Bravo holds the record for most dismissals of a single batter in T20s (11 times against Kieron Pollard). But Narine is just one wicket away from breaking that record. If he manages to send Rohit back to the pavilion today, he will create history!

Venkatesh Iyer – The MI Slayer

Another big weapon in KKR’s arsenal is Venkatesh Iyer, who has an outstanding record against Mumbai Indians. In six matches, he has scored at an impressive strike rate of 165.29 and an average of 72.40, with one century and three half-centuries. His lowest score against MI is 42 runs, which shows his consistency against them.

Ajinkya Rahane – The Wankhede Expert

The third key player in this KKR trio is Ajinkya Rahane, who knows Wankhede’s pitch like the back of his hand. Two years ago, while playing for CSK, he smashed the fastest fifty (in just 19 balls) on this very ground. His experience and local knowledge can be a game-changer for KKR in today’s high-stakes match.

Can MI Overcome KKR’s Deadly Trio?

Mumbai Indians are yet to register their first win of the season, and facing this dangerous KKR side won’t make things any easier. With Sunil Narine aiming to break a historic record, Venkatesh Iyer in top form, and Ajinkya Rahane’s expertise at Wankhede, MI will have to bring their A-game if they want to secure a win in today’s IPL 2025 clash.
