Gurbaz has departed. He scored 8 runs in 12 balls. On the other hand KKR's Venkatesh Iyer has managed to score 39 runs in just 16 balls. Looks like he is about to make his half-century, provided Mumbai Indians stregthen their fielding skills.
Mumbai Indians are repeatedly dropping good catches and it looks like their fielding is quite weak. Considering their batting order isn't strong enough either, they really need to buckle up. Venkatesh hit another six in the fifth over.
Current Score: 55/1
KKR has managed to score 39 runs at the loss of one wicket. Four overs are complete and currently Venkatesh and rahmanullah are batting for the team.

Current Score: 38/1
Jagdeesan has been replaced by Venkatesh Iyer. Arjun bowled the third over and managed to give away 12 runs in this one.
Current Score: 25/1
Green took his first wicket of the game and eliminated Jagdeesan. This isn't good news for KKR as they have lost their first wicket early on in the game. Jagdeesan was yet to open his account on the field.
A lot of pressure on Arjun for bowling the first over! He kept the bowling tight and on the third ball, almost elimkinated Rahmanullah. He gave away only 5 runs in this over.
Current Score: 5/0
Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Narayan Jagadeesan are on the field and have taken the batting stance for the KKR. Arjun Tendulkar will be bowling the first over! Fingers crossed!
India's legendary cricketer and master-blaster Sachin Tendulkar is present at the Wakhede Stadium to watch his son play for the Mumbai Indians. There's a lot of excitement in the stadium, and rightfully so! This is definitely going to be an exciting match to watch!
Kolkata Knight Riders: Suyash Sharma, David Wiese, Anukul Roy, Mandeep Singh and Vaibhav Arora
Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Ramandeep Singh, Arshad Khan, Vishnu Vinod and Kumar Kartikeya
Kolkata Knight Riders: Nitish Rana (C), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Venkatesh Iyer, N Jagadeesan, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shardul Thakur, Umesh Yadav, Lockie Ferguson, Varun Chakaravarthy
Mumbai Indians: Suryakumar Yadav(c), Ishan Kishan, Cameron Green, Tilak Varma, Tim David, Nehal Wadhera, Arjun Tendulkar, Hrithik Shokeen, Piyush Chawla, Duan Jansen, Riley Meredith
Rohit Sharma will sit this game out due to stomach issues. All eyes are now on Arjun Tendulkar who will be making his IPL debut in this game.
Mumbai Indians probably chose bowling because of their weak batting unit. The pitch at Wankhede actually has short boundaries and is great for batters, but considering MIs batting skill set for today's game, Yadav's choice makes sense.
Suryakumar Yadav will be the captain for Mumbai Indians in today's game against the Kolkata Knight Riders. He walked in place of Rohit Sharma at the time of the toss.
Mumbai Indians' Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and chose to bowl first! Rana said had he won the toss, he would have chosen batting anyway. Well, looks like both teams got what they wanted!
Kolkata Knight Riders: Nitish Rana- Captain, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Narayan Jagadeesan, Rinku Singh, Suyash Sharma, Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, Umesh Yadav, Lockie Ferguson, Sunil Narine, Shardul Thakur, Varun Chakaravarthy
Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma – Captain, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Cameron Green, Piyush Chawla, Tilak Varma, Arshad Khan, Nehal Wadhera, Jason Behrendorff, Hrithik Shokeen, Riley Meredith, Tim David
Mumbai Indians are likely to going to miss their star player- Jofra Archer., as it is unlikely for Archer to be part of the game because of his injury.
Wankhede Stadium’s pitch has always been batter-friendly. Teams usually end up with high scores on this ground with short boundaries. Early on in the game, bowlers might have very little assistance. So whichever team wins the toss today, will most likely look forward to bat first.
The toss will take place at 3:00 pm IST and the MI vs KKR match will begin at 3:30 pm IST. Keep watching this corner for further live coverage.
