Glenn Maxwell-led KXIP will be desperate for a change in their fortunes after suffering three back-to-back defeats in the IPL 10, having won the first two with ease. Their task, however, will not as easy considering they are up against a rampant MI side, which has won their last 4 matches in the competition. (IPL 10 – Points Table | Full Coverage)
The only boost for Punjab seems to be a return to home hunting ground, Indore, where they will be returning after 3 consecutive away games and will be looking to mark their return with a win.
As far as Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai are concerned, they have a chance of going top of the table with a win against the hosts today. A bright mix of young and experienced players have got them off to their best ever start to an IPL campaign. The young guns, Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya, Nitish Rana and Jasprit Bumrah have been brilliant, so have been the experienced players – Kieron Pollard, Harbhajan Singh and Lasith Malinga. Rohit, himself, however is still to find his peak form and there might not be a better chance then today’s encounter at Holkar stadium.
