Top Players – Mumbai Indians 

Ishan Kishan - One of MI's top players, Ishan Kishan has performed remarkably well in the IPL this year. He has provided the squad with excellent powerplay starts, enabling them to score 235 and 199 in their last two games. He is a dependable batter as well as an effective player against all bowlers. As a result, MI can rely on him before the match against KKR.

Suryakumar Yadav - SKY, often referred to as Mr. 360, is an expert at playing shots all over the court. He is a huge plus because he can win the game for the squad on his own. Will's primary goal in winning this match will be to contain Sky, or else he will win it with ease.

Top Players – Kolkata Knight Riders

Sunil Narine – The star all-rounder is now KKR's top run scorer in the ongoing IPL 2024 after showing great promise both with the bat and the ball. In the eight games he has played, Narine has amassed 357 runs in eight innings at an average of 44.62, including two half-centuries and a century. In eight innings, he has taken ten wickets with the ball and is leading the KKR in the IPL 2024 in terms of wicket-taking.

Phil Salt –In the current tournament season, the reliable wicketkeeper-opener has started the KKR innings alongside Sunil Narine. In the eight innings of the eight matches, he has smashed 324 runs at an incredible strike rate of 176.08, hitting three half-centuries. He might also be among KKR's best players when they play MI.

Rohit Sharma: The former Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper hasn't been consistent this season and has continued to start the IPL 2024 season slowly. Making him the captain might be a risky move considering his form, however, fans will thus be hoping for a return to his previous level of performance.

Rinku Singh – Due to his lower batting position, the outstanding middle-order batsman for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has not been given many opportunities to bat during the competition. In addition, Rinku has not been particularly successful with the bat thus far in the IPL 2024.
