Hosts Mumbai Indians will be desperate to notch up a win in IPL 2025 after back-to-back losses in their first two match of the season, when they face off against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium. MI have a 23-11 win-loss record against Bollywood star-owned KKR side and will hope to main their dominance over them.

It will be a homecoming of sorts for KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane, who plays first-class cricket for Mumbai. In-form KKR captain will look to stun Hardik Pandya’s side on Monday.
MI vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2025: Ashwani Kumar to Rahane, out Caught by Tilak Varma! What a dream start for the debutant! Ashwani Kumar strikes with his very first delivery. Rahane goes after a full, wide delivery, throwing his bat at it. The ball flies towards deep backward point, where Tilak Varma initially fumbles but recovers brilliantly. Despite the first attempt slipping out, he quickly reacts, keeps his eyes on the ball, and secures the catch with his right hand. A massive breakthrough! Rahane c Tilak Varma b Ashwani Kumar 11(7) [4s-1 6s-1]
MI vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2025: Deepak Chahar dismissed Quinton de Kock for 1 run, caught by Ashwani Kumar. This is a significant setback for Kolkata Knight Riders, as de Kock had previously played a match-winning innings.
MI vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2025: Trent Boult bowled Sunil Narine for a duck. Narine, who struggles against Boult, missed a wide delivery, resulting in his stumps being hit. This was an excellent start for Boult and his team.
MI vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2025: Pitch Report, We have an absolute belter here. We have a beautiful covering of grass and underneath it’s really hard, it means it’s a batter’s paradise. I’m looking forward to the spin twins, Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine. The better bowlers always find a way to defend on these kind of surfaces. But, the faster and faster you bowl, the farther you will travel. You are playing dead-centre of the ground and you have options to play with. The shortest boundary is 54m, it gets longer as you move across the ground. A bouncer is a good option to surprise batters and to not allow them to line you up, reckon Eoin Morgan and Nick Knight.

MI vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2025: Ajinkya Rahane, We wanted to bowl first as well but I was confused looking at the wicket, generally Wankede is a good batting surface so I feel it’s a good toss to lose. There’s a little breeze going on, no dew factor to deal with. We will look to post a good total on the board and I have confidence in our bowlers to defend. We are playing good cricket, every games gives a good opportunity to play good cricket. Lovely ground, we are looking to play good cricket. Sunil comes in in place of Mooen.

Will comes back and we have a debutant.
