After a convincing victory over the Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati, defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will set out to make it two consecutive wins in a row as they face Mumbai Indians next in a mouth-watering clash in match No. 12 of the IPL 2025 season. KKR will be eyeing back-to-back wins over MI at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and will look to keep the momentum going as the tournament intensifies.
KKR head into this game full of confidence and with an intent to pick up two crucial points. Their previous victory here at the Wankhede last year will boost them further to set out on a path to create something special yet again this year as well.
Ajinkya Rahane’s side have one win and one loss to their name so far in the IPL 2025 season. KKR were humbled at home by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the season-opener at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. They bounced back to hammer Rajasthan Royals away from home in Guwahati powered by Quinton de Kock’s brilliant 97.
A storied clash awaits at an iconic stadium, with the fans eager in anticipation to cheer their favourite knights. As KKR heads into this important clash, young batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi spoke about the upcoming match against five-time champions MI. Excerpts from an interview…
AR: We want to forget about the past results and focus on the game ahead. We aim to start new again and to set out and win this next match.
