Kolkata though, with a lot of questions over their line-up are continuing to impress. Despite losing the previous game, all the attention was on them as they kept the audience believing up until the end with some wonderful stroke play.

MI vs KKR Key Players

Rinku Singh

Rinku Singh, with heroics against Gujarat, and a really good knock to keep KKR in the hunt against SRH is keeping KKR interested. He is striking the ball really well in the back end, and with the way he has been going, Singh could well make this tournament his, given the brilliance he has provided so far.

Rohit Sharma

A flat track and struggling bowling attack ahead leaves Rohit Sharma with a great chance of making an impact and reminding his worth as a batter in the IPL. He has the shots, his international form has been decent, and he will be waiting to play a good innings in a tournament which has not seen his impact in a while.
