IPL 2025 MI vs KKR Best Squad Playing 11 for Both Teams

Mumbai Indians looking for their first win in our MI vs KKR match 12 best squad playing 11 for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. 

What a shocking start it has been for the Mumbai Indians, who have now lost two in a row at the start of their Campaign. When you see the team, you see the likes of Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Ryan Rickelton, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Mitchell Santner, Trent Boult, and Deepak Chahar, and still wonder how this team, which is filled with so many international stars, lose two matches in a row. 

The team is so strong on paper, but has still managed to lose their first two matches. Sure, the team is without their premier fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah. But you still expect a good fight from the team, if not win it. But losing two with such a big margin is a shocker. Nevertheless, the team will now be up against one of their favourite oppositions, Kolkata Knight Riders, and KKR have won one, and lost one match so far. 

This will be MI’s first match at Wankhede, and one can expect a better performance from the team in their home den. Surely, the defending champions KKR are a solid team themselves, but they do have things to worry about, and it is the utilization of their resources. Andre Russell, who is one of their MVPs, has hardly played any role so far, and neither has Ramandeep Singh. If not batting, Russell should at least be utilized as a bowler to give him some game time.

Match Details: Match 12 – MI vs KKR 

Where: Mumbai

When: March 31, 2025, 7:30 pm IST

The Wankhede pitch is a belter of runs in general. However, there are times when the new ball under the lights swings, and that can lead to football-type scores in the first few overs. Since, this will be a fresh pitch, and both teams having solid firepower in their batting lineup, we can definitely expect a high-scoring contest. But will the teams make any changes to their lineup? Well, let’s look at the best possible playing 11 for the MI vs KKR Match 12 of IPL 2025.

9. Vignesh Puthur

Mumbai Indians Best Playing 11

The Mumbai Indians team made two big changes in their previous match. While Hardik was expected to return, the team dropped Will Jacks and Vignesh Puthur in two surprising changes. Vignesh could have still played this game, and the team could still afford to keep Mujeeb ur Rahman out. But will these two continue at the Wankhede pitch? Well, ideally, Hardik Pandya may continue with the same team to give them one more opportunity, and to stick to a single thought process. 

However, what’s more important for the Mumbai Indians team right now is the form of their openers, Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton. Both have had a horror start to the tournament so far, and you definitely expect better from both batters of solid quality. Ryan is a quality batter, and if he spends some time in the middle, he can come all guns blazing. Whereas Rohit needs to continue his attacking mindset, and success should come soon for him.

Kolkata Knight Riders have gone with the same playing 11 in both matches so far, except for one forced change where Moeen Ali came in for injured Narine. However, they might continue with the same playing 11 with a fit Narine back in the playing 11. While the team looks strong on paper, KKR need to find a way to utilize Russell, or else he might go restless, which can lead to a drop in his confidence and performance.
