Kolkata Knight Riders have won the toss and opted to field first against Mumbai Indians at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. While Eoin Morgan & Co go unchanged, MI has made one change – Quinton de Kock replaces Chris Lynn. KKR had a terrific start to their campaign as they defeated SRH in their previous encounter. KKR uses spin from both ends. KKR uses these tactics to stop the beast incarnate batting of Mumbai Indians. KKR uses spin in the first five overs. Famous commentator Harsha Bhogle also tweeted regarding this topic.

However, MI will pose a real challenge for KKR as the defending champions would be desperate to register their first win of the season after losing the season opener to RCB. Eventually, it will all boil down to a battle of wits between two heavy-weight teams in tonight’s game.
