MI vs KKR: IPL 2025 First Home Game

The Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to face the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their first home game of IPL 2025 at Wankhede Stadium, eager to secure their first win of the season after two consecutive losses. Despite past slow starts, MI, led by Hardik Pandya, is facing challenges with team selection, as seen in their recent defeat against Gujarat Titans where pacers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna proved formidable. Meanwhile, KKR aims to continue their momentum following a win against Rajasthan Royals. Historically, MI has a favorable record against KKR, having won 23 out of 34 encounters. Separately, India will tour Australia in October for a series involving three ODIs and five T20Is, marking the first time Australia's men's team will play in all eight states and territories during a season.
