There is some good news in store for Indian cricket fans – Jasprit Bumrah has resumed bowling in the nets at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, where he has been undergoing rehabilitation for the back injury that has kept him out of action since the Sydney Test against Australia in January.
However, there still isn’t any official timeline on the senior pacer’s return to action, meaning he will be missing MI’s upcoming match against KKR.
Here’s how defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders have performed so far in IPL 2025:
vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Kolkata on 22 March: Lost by 7 wickets
vs Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on 26 March: Won by 8 wickets
Here’s how five-time champions Mumbai Indians have fared so far in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League:
vs Chennai Super Kings in Chennai on 23 March: Lost by 4 wickets
vs Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on 29 March: Lost by 36 runs
Veteran West Indian all-rounder Sunil Narine was one of the few positives for KKR from their defeat against RCB in the tournament opener at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens, scoring 44 off 26 balls and later registering figures of 1/27 from four overs. Narine, however, missed the Knight Riders’ subsequent game against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati due to illness, with senior English all-rounder Moeen Ali taking his place.
On the eve of KKR’s away game against MI at the Wankhede, head coach Chandrakant Pandit confirmed that Narine is “100 per cent fit” and will be taking back his place in the XI. ( READ MORE)

MI vs KKR LIVE Score Online, IPL 2025 Match Today: Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) face one of their toughest challenges as they take on Mumbai Indians (MI) on Monday (31 March) at the Wankhede Stadium in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. MI are in poor form, having lost both their matches so far in IPL 2025, but they have a solid record against IPL 2024 winners KKR.
Kolkata have only defeated Mumbai 11 times in 34 matches, losing 23 times. They have only earned two wins at the Wankhede Stadium against Mumbai. Looking at the record, it’s fair to say that KKR will enter the match against MI as underdogs even when Mumbai are struggling for form.
KKR also lost their first match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RC) at home but opened their account with a win over Rajasthan Royals (RR). MI, meanwhile, have lost both their matches, against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT).
MI’s batting including the form of Rohit Sharm has emerged as their biggest pain point so far and Mumbai will be looking for a complete team effort from their star players to get a ‘W’ against their name.
The MI vs KKR match will be played from 7.30 PM IST on Monday (31 March) at the Wankhede Stadium. The toss will be at 7 PM IST and the live streaming will be available on the JioHotstar app and website.
The match will also be broadcast live on Star Sports and SPorts18 channels.
MI predicted playing 12s: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Vignesh Puthur and Satyanarayana Raju
