Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders LIVE Scorecard, IPL 2025 LIVE: Rs 23.75 Crore KKR Star Flops, MI Take 4 Wickets In Powerplay

MI vs KKR LIVE: What a powerplay for MI

Two games, two defeats, and MI have come out the blocks at their home stadium roaring against the defending champions. 41 runs, 4 wickets in the powerplay. Incredible bowling by MI, poor shot selection by KKR players too.

KKR 41/4 (6)

IPL 2025 LIVE: VENKATESH GONE!

Venkatesh Iyer is gone! Deepak Chahar strikes! KKR are 4-down, this is absolutely insane. Great short delivery by Chahar, Venkatesh tries an awkward upper cut and sends it straight to Ryan Rickelton behind the stumps. Uncomfortable throughout, and departs now.

KKR 41/4 (5.3)

MI vs KKR LIVE: 4, Raghuvanshi!

Glorious timing. Fitting straight drive on the ground where Sachin Tendulkar made his mark. Chahar puts it full, and Raghuvanshi slaps it back down the ground. So classy. He is doing really well here.

KKR 40/3 (5.1)

MI vs KKR LIVE: PUT DOWN!

Ashwani Kumar has dropped Venkatesh Iyer! Lousy shot, flew straight to Ashwani at third man but he’s put it down. He would hope that this does not come back to cost MI. For now, MI still on the front foot.

KKR 36/3 (5)

MI vs KKR LIVE: Pressure on Venkatesh Iyer

Venkatesh Iyer was paid the big bucks by KKR at the mega auction, and now is the time to prove the value. Rs 23.75 crore-man, hasn’t had much of a chance to bat so far in IPL 2025. This is a ground where he has a superb record, don’t forget.

KKR 34/3 (4.3)

MI vs KKR LIVE: Raghuvanshi, SIX!

Young man stepping up! It is all hara-kiri at the other end for KKR, but Angkrish Raghuvanshi is showing his class. Pulls it over deep square-leg for a maximum, the first 6 conceded by Ashwani Kumar on his IPL debut. 

KKR 33/3 (4)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Oh nearly!

KKR are taking one risk too many here. Venkatesh Iyer tried to go big, and nearly got out. Mitch Santner tried to take the catch, and gave a brilliant diving effort, but could not hold on to it. What is going on?

KKR 26/3 (3.4)

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: ASHWANI KUMAR!

Ashwani Kumar takes a wicket on his first-ever IPL ball! 23-year-old left-arm pacer has already taken a catch, and now dismisses KKR captain Rahane. Wow, wow, wow. Rahane tries to hit big, and Tilak holds a one-handed catch at deep point! Drama. Scintillating. KKR in tatters.

KKR 25/3 (3.1)

MI vs KKR LIVE: Good recovery by Boult

Trent Boult recovers really well after that six by Rahane. Concedes only 3 more runs in the over. KKR need a big partnership between these two players, and cannot afford to lose more wickets in the powerplay.

KKR 25/2 (3)

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: Rahane to the party!

Ajinkya Rahane now accelerates! Ends the second over with a boundary off Deepak Chahar, and then welcomes Trent Boult back with an excellent shot. Pitched short by the Kiwi, Rahane hooks it away for six over fine leg.

KKR 22/2 (2.2)

IPL 2025 LIVE: 4, 4!

Angkrish Raghuvanshi, great start. KKR under pressure, and the young right-hander has responded brilliantly. A huge test for the youngster, in the stadium he has grown up playing in. Two excellent shots.

KKR 10/2 (1.3)

MI vs KKR LIVE: DE KOCK GONE! MI have 2!

GONE! Mumbai Indians, what a start! Quinton de Kock goes for a lofty drive, picks out the fielder at mid-off. Deepak Chahar strikes in the very first over. Great catch taken by Ashwani Kumar, the IPL debutant. The Wankhede Stadium is bustling, and the five-time champs are off to a rock-n-roll start.

KKR 2/2 (1.1)

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: What an over by Boult

Excellent. Top, top stuff by Trent Boult. Only one run conceded, and the huge wicket of Sunil Narine as well. KKR on the back foot already, Mumbai Indians are rolling.

KKR 1/1 (1)

MI vs KKR LIVE: NARINE GONE!

BOWLED! Trent Boult dismisses Sunil Narine in the very first over. Terrific yorker, Narine tried to give himself room and missed it completely. The Kiwi strikes, and what a start it is. MI are up and running in their home stadium.

KKR 1/1 (0.4)

MI vs KKR LIVE: De Kock off the mark

Quinton de Kock off the mark with a single, off his second ball. Trent Boult is swinging it back in towards the left-handers at the crease. 

MI 1/0 (0.2)

MI vs KKR LIVE: Here come the players!

Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine open the batting for KKR. Trent Boult will open the batting. ‘Duniya Hila Denge Hum’ rings around the iconic Wankhede, as we prepare for another chapter between two of IPL’s biggest teams. 

Five-time champions play three-time champions. Buckle in, folks!

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: History changing?

MI have won 23 out of their 34 matches against KKR in IPL history, but the trend has swung in recent years. In their last six encounters, it is KKR who have won five matches. The men in purple won both times in IPL 2024 as well.

IPL 2025 LIVE: Narine to open with QDK

Sunil Narine is back and will be expected to open the batting with Quinton de Kock today. The South African spent many years at Mumbai Indians, and was part of their title-winning teams of 2019 and 2020.

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: Rohit Sharma impact sub!

IPL 2025 LIVE: Rahane, Venkatesh love Wankhede

Ajinkya Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer will wear purple today, but both have very good records at the Wankhede Stadium. Rahane averages 40+ in IPL in this stadium, while Venkatesh has even smashed an IPL century here.

IPL 2025 LIVE: How will the pitch be?

The Wankhede Stadium is expected to be an absolute belter. The stadium saw 200+ scores regularly, and should favour the mighty batters at the disposal of both teams. Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Quinton de Kock and Venkatesh Iyer, among others!

MI vs KKR LIVE: Perfect team for Rohit to regain form?

Is KKR the perfect team for Rohit to regain his batting form? Here’s his record against the men in purple:

Matches: 34

Runs: 1,070

Ave: 39.62

SR: 128.14

Best: 109*

MI vs KKR LIVE: Rohit Sharma form worries MI

Rohit Sharma has had a terrible start to IPL 2025. He got out for a 4-ball duck against CSK in their first match, before managing only 8 in the second game against GT. Now back at the Wankhede, MI will be hoping that their talisman can find his feet again.

Remember, he was retained by them for a hefty Rs 16.30 crore ahead of the auction.

IPL 2025 LIVE: MI vs KKR H2H Record

Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders have faced off 34 times in IPL history, with an overwhelming advantage for the men in blue. However, KKR won both the matches between these two sides in IPL 2024.

Matches: 34

MI Won: 23

KKR Won: 11

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: KKR changes vs MI?

Spencer Johnson is the KKR player most at risk of losing his spot in the playing XI, with reports suggesting that either Moeen Ali will keep his spot, or South African express Anrich Nortje will enter the scheme of things.

Sunil Narine is almost certain to make a comeback.

IPL 2025 LIVE: Will MI make any changes?

Even if Mumbai Indians do not get Bumrah back for the KKR game, they could make more changes. Will Jacks may come in after a decent showing in the first game, while several fans would certainly love to see uncapped chinaman Vignesh Puthur given another go.

MI vs KKR LIVE: Bumrah back in action in NCA

As per a viral video on social media, Jasprit Bumrah has resumed bowling at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. However, he doesn’t seem to be with the squad yet, and as such, will almost certainly miss the match vs KKR.

Here’s the video:

Bumrah has started bowling in NCA. Don’t know when he will get the clearance but feeling better after watching this clip. pic.twitter.com/FTpnuVoJoW

IPL 2025 LIVE: Sunil Narine returns

Sunil Narine is expected to be back for KKR once again. In his absence, Moeen Ali stepped in admirably against RR, doing a fantastic job with the ball. As per several reports, Ali may retain his place, with Narine instead replacing Spencer Johnson in the playing XI.

If that happens, Andre Russell could be used as a third pacer by KKR.

MI vs KKR LIVE: Big absentees

Mumbai Indians have really felt the absence of their talisman Jasprit Bumrah this season. Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar haven’t looked at their best yet, and without Bumrah, there seems to be a lack of cutting edge in the bowling. But is he fit?

Even MI’s spin attack looks weak, and the franchise don’t seem to have recovered from the withdrawal of Afghan mystery spinner Allah Ghazanfar.

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: Desperate for first win

Mumbai Indians must be desperate for their first win in IPL 2025. MI and poor starts have become almost a trend at this point, but without Jasprit Bumrah, it is vital for them to get the wins rolling before it gets too late to recover.

MI vs KKR LIVE: Terrible start for MI

Mumbai Indians are off to the worst-possible start in IPL 2025. They’ve lost both their games, against CSK and GT respectively. This means that, heading into today, they’re the only team to not win a game so far this season.

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025: Hello and welcome!

A very good evening to the live coverage of IPL 2025, on NDTV Sports. It’s a big one today, and I don’t say that lightly. It’s Mumbai Indians taking on Kolkata Knight Riders, at the Wankhede!
