IPL 2024: KKR eye playoffs berth, while MI look to save their pride

In red-hot form, two-time former champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will look to seal Playoff berth for the first time in three years when they take on the struggling Mumbai Indians (MI) in their final home match of the season, here on Saturday. The return of their two-time title-winning skipper Gautam Gambhir as team mentor has done wonders for the side which has found ways to win games from difficult situations this season.

Sitting at the top of the 10-team standings with eight wins from 11 matches, another win will guarantee them the Playoff berth. In contrast, five-time champions MI, under Hardik Pandya, became the first team to be knocked out after Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) demolished Lucknow Super Giants on Wednesday.


Coming on the back of a morale-boosting win over SRH, MI will look to salvage some pride. At the same time, Team India fans will hope that Rohit Sharma and Pandya also return among runs. The India captain has four single-digit scores and one 11 in last five games, while Pandya’s best this season has been 46.
