KKR vs MI: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Match 60 of the IPL 2024. The game will get underway at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on May 11, Saturday at 7:30 PM (IST).

KKR are on top of the points table with 16 points at an NRR of +1.453 and they are a step closer to qualifying for the playoffs. On the other hand, MI were the first team to get eliminated from the playoffs race this season.

When both teams faced each other in the reverse fixture, KKR came out on top much to MI's annoyance. KKR won the game by 24 runs. Let's now take a look at the four batsmen who can muster the most runs in Match 60 of the competition.

1. Philip Salt: KKR's opening batter Philip Salt has been in terrific form for the franchise this season. He played a substantial role in dominating the proceedings for the team when it mattered the most.

Salt who scored 5 runs in the reverse fixture against MI will be hoping to deliver the goods this time around. He is currently the second leading run-scorer for KKR with 429 runs in 11 games at an average of 42.90 and a strike rate of 183.33 including 4 fifties.

2. Rohit Sharma: There has been a stark contrast in terms of Rohit Sharma's performances in the first five games and the rest of the games. In the first five matches, he played his part in providing good starts for the team but in the rest of the games, he fell prey to cheap scores.

His solitary century came against CSK this season. Rohit has amassed 466 runs in 14 innings against KKR at the Eden Gardens including a century and is expected to unleash his fury.

3. Venkatesh Iyer: Venkatesh Iyer was adjudged the Man of the Match for his batting performance in the reverse fixture against MI at the Wankhede Stadium.

He scored 70 off 52 deliveries including 6 fours and 3 sixes to his credit. The left-hander is expected to continue his good run against MI, this time at home and it remains to be seen how he goes about his business.

4. Suryakumar Yadav: Suryakumar Yadav has amassed 334 runs for MI at strike rate of 176.71 in 9 appearances in the IPL 2024. He registered his best score of an unbeaten 102, which came in his last game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Suryakumar top-scored for MI in the reverse fixture against KKR as he chipped in with 56 off 35 including 6 fours and 2 sixes, albeit in a losing cause. The right-hander is expected to dictate the terms against KKR.
