Kolkata Knight Riders will open their IPL 2026 campaign with a tricky clash against the Mumbai Indians on Sunday at Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai have retained its core setup mostly for IPL 2026, while KKR managed to bolster their squad, plugging the loopholes which were quite definite in IPL 2024.
KKR's bowling department received a major jolt after both Akash Deep and Harshit Rana were ruled out of the tournament. KKR's batting order also remains a concern, as there are a number of players jostling for the opening slot.
Mumbai have looked quite strong and the return of Jasprit Bumrah has added another advantage. Mumbai is likely to miss both Will Jacks and Mitchell Santner, but Hardik Pandya's side can still inflict damage on ther opponents. Focus will be on Rohit Sharma, who didn't have the best of an outing last term.
