Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders Probable Playing XIs:
Jofra Archer has missed a couple of games because of a niggle. Mumbai Indians didn’t want to risk him and therefore, he was rested. If he achieves fitness, the pacer would be back as the only expected change.
Kolkata Knight Riders didn’t make any changes to their combination for their previous match. But because the Wankhede pitch might not assist spin, KKR might look to make use of a pacer as the impact player.
Here are the predicted playing XI’s of Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders for the IPL 2023 Match 22
Mumbai Indians Playing XI:
Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Nehal Wadhera, Hrithik Shokeen, Riley Meredith/Jofra Archer, Arshad Khan, Piyush Chawla, Jason Behrendorff <> Tim David
Kolkata Knight Riders Playing XI:
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), N Jagadeesan, Nitish Rana (c), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shardul Thakur, Umesh Yadav, Suyash Sharma <> Venkatesh Iyer, Lockie Ferguson, Varun Chakaravarthy

Probable Best Batter
It’s been a season to forget so far for Suryakumar Yadav as there is a severe drought of runs. He just needs one good knock to get back into the groove. At home, this could be the occasion in which he finds his form again.
Probable Best Bowler
Sunil Narine would be a difficult bowler to face if the Wankhede pitch offers any turn under the sun. The MI batters would be wary of the threat he possesses.
