The Mumbai Indians will be looking to finally turn their form around when they face the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 37th match of the Indian Premier League in Mumbai on Sunday.
The home side will be desperate to turn their fortunes around after managing to win just two matches so far this season.
In their last match, Mumbai registered another demoralizing defeat, this time against Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore.
In the batting department, the team will be banking on the form of young Suryakumar Yadav, who has managed to score 283 runs in eight matches at an average of 35.37. The team’s biggest disappointment so far is the form of Captain Rohit Sharma, who managed to score just 196 runs at an average of 28.
In the bowling department, the team will be heavily dependent on the likes of pacer Hardik Pandya and young leg-spinner Mayank Markande, both of whom have claimed 11 wickets each so far.
