March 29: Today's IPL 2026 match
Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders - Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, 7:30 pm local time
Team news
Mumbai Indians head into their season-opener with a settled core and only minor tweaks to their first 12. The major call they'll have to take is around the makeup of their overseas contingent. Between Sherfane Rutherford, Mitchell Santner, and Corbin Bosch, they'll most probably pick one. Who they pick could go on to define the kind of team balance MI are looking for this season.
KKR also have questions around their team balance and their batting order that they need to sort. With Finn Allen, Sunil Narine, and Cameron Green expected to be lock-ins, the fourth overseas spot could go to either Rovman Powell or Blessing Muzarabani. The lack of experienced Indian quicks in the roster might tilt the scales in favour of the tall Zimbabwean seamer. This will also be their first game since the retirement of stalwart Andre Russell from the IPL. The West Indian all-rounder will serve as the power-hitting coach of the side this season instead.
