Mumbai, May 8: Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders will face each other in an IPL 2022 match on Monday (May 9) and this game has become rather inconsequential, the first of such in IPL 15.

The MI under Rohit Sharma have already been eliminated from the race to the playoffs as they have just 4 points from 10 matches and even they win all their remaining matches, the five-time champions can reach only 12 points.

It is vastly insufficient to take them near to the knockouts as RCB have 12 points already and three other teams have 16 and 14 points.

On the other hand, the KKR under Shreyas Iyer faltered against Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday night and the massive defeat have left them with 8 points from 11 matches. They have 3 matches left and the maximum point they can reach is 14 points, again something that cannot guarantee even a 4th place finish.

But players from both sides can gun for glory in this match. Here are then a few records, stats and milestones the players will be eyeing to achieve in the MI vs KKR match.
