IPL 2024: Top 3 Records That Could Be Broken in Today’s KKR vs MI Match
Mitchell Starc is just 4 wickets away to claim 50 IPL wickets record
The 60th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be played between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The match is scheduled on 11th May from 7:30 pm.
Mumbai Indians are currently ranked 8th in the points table, while Kolkata Knight Riders are at the first position. Mumbai Indians have been officially knocked out of the tournament and would play for pride, while KKR would be playing to continue their domination at the top.
Kolkata Knight Riders, in their last game, defeated Lucknow Super Giants with the help of their star openers and spirited bowling. KKR defeated MI by 24 runs when both teams last met at Wankhede.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, returned to winning ways against Sunrisers Hyderabad with their stars finally delivering a solid performance.
Mumbai Indians will be led by Hardik Pandya, who has made a solid comeback with his bowling, and Kolkata Knight Riders will be led by Shreyas Iyer.
Here are some records that could be broken in the match:
1. Starc Eyes 50 IPL Wickets
Mitchell Starc, after a disappointing start, has started justifying his price tag in recent matches. Starc is 4 wickets away from taking 50 wickets in IPL.
2. Dre Russ to Hit 2500 IPL runs
Andre Russell has been the most consistent player for KKR in their entire IPL journey. Andre Russell is four runs away from reaching 2500 runs in IPL.
3. Ishan Nearing 250 Fours
The pocket dynamite Ishan Kishan is meant to hit big sixes and classy shots. Ishan is a four away from reaching the milestone of 250 fours.
With a tough contest on the points table, KKR is well aware that a loss in any game could turn their position, taking away that coveted 1st or 2nd spot, and thus KKR would continue to play fearless cricket.
