IPL 2022, KKR vs MI Stats and Records Preview: Rohit Sharma and Sunil Narine approaching milestones
Pune, April 5: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will look to hand record champions Mumbai Indians (MI) their third loss in a row when the two teams clash in match 14 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Wednesday (April 6).
Shreyas Iyer-led KKR has won two of their three matches so far this season, beating defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings, while they suffered a defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore in a low-scoring thriller.
MI, meanwhile, have suffered back-to-back defeats, losing their first two matches of the season to Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals in their most recent outing. Rohit Sharma's team has lost one when defending a score and one when chasing.
So, the five-time champions will look to bounce back against KKR, who have a poor record against the Mumbai-based franchise. However, KKR, riding high on confidence, will also take a slight advantage heading into their first meeting with MI at MCA Stadium.
Now, we take a look at the stats and records preview, interesting facts and players chasing milestones ahead of KKR vs MI:
