Rinku Singh is gone! He has edged a Piyush Chawla delivery back to the bowler to depart for the score of 9 off 8 balls. Mumbai Indians, who are all but out of playoff race, are spoiling KKR’s run more than keeping their slim top-4 hopes alive.

KKR 57/5 (6.1)

MI vs KKR Live: WICKET!

Hardik Pandya has got the wicket of Sunil Narine and KKR are in all sorts of trouble. That is some revenge for Hardik.

MI vs KKR Live: OUT!

Nuwan Thushara strikes! This is a big blow for KKR at the start of play as they have lost Philip Salt. The batter advanced down the track but failed to play the good length ball.

MI vs KKR Live: Match starts!

Nuwan Thushara is bowling the first over. Phil Salt is on the strike, Sunil Narine is at the other end. Here we go!

Rohit’s thoughts on Impact Player rule

“I genuinely feel that it is going to hold back (development of India all-rounders),” Rohit had told on ‘Club Prairie Fire’ regarding the Impact Player rule. “Eventually, cricket is played by 11 players not 12 players. I am not a big fan of ‘Impact Player’, you are taking out so much from the game just because of little bit of entertainment, for people around,” he had pointed out.

MI vs KKR Live: Rohit Sharma not in MI’s playing XI

Rohit Sharma has been dropped out of the playing XI and kept in the impact substitutes’ list instead. Interestingly, Rohit is among the players who don’t like the Impact Player rule.

MI vs KKR Live Score: Impact subs –

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Shams Mulani, Shivalik Sharma, Dewald Brevis, Romario Shepherd

Kolkata Knight Riders: Anukul Roy, Manish Pandey, Srikar Bharat, Sherfane Rutherford, Chetan Sakariya

MI vs KKR Live: Here are the playing XIs –

Kolkata Knight Riders: Philip Salt(w), Sunil Narine, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Shreyas Iyer(c), Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchell Starc, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakaravarthy

MI vs KKR Live: Kolkata Knight Riders unchanged

“It’s always about doing the small things well, obviously the dew is a factor but we have to keep that out of mind. The message is clear, each one of them knows their role and responsibility. Batting first we are going with the same team,” said KKR captain Shreyas Iyer.

Live Score: One change for Mumbai Indians

“We will bowl. It’s always about playing for pride, it looks quite tough for us but at the same time, we want to play good cricket. Looks like a good track, it’s a fresh wicket so thought that bowling first will be good. Only one change, Naman Dhir comes in place of Nabi,” said Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya.
