Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will clash in the 12th match of the IPL 2025 season at Wankhede Stadium on Monday, March 31. This will be MI's first home game, and they aim to turn their season around.

Mumbai Indians Struggle Early

MI finished last in 2024 and started this season poorly. They lost their first two matches. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated them by four wickets at Chepauk. Gujarat Titans handed them another defeat by 36 runs in Ahmedabad. Captain Hardik Pandya wants his team to bounce back at home. Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya will be looking to regain their batting form.

Kolkata Knight Riders Find Momentum

KKR started with a seven-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). However, they responded with a strong eight-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals (RR). The defending champions now look to build on that success. KKR will benefit from Sunil Narine’s return after illness. MI, however, will miss star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who is still recovering from a back injury.
