Wankhede Stadium, one of the most iconic venues in the IPL, is all set to host its first match of the IPL 2025 season, featuring the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) today. In the match MI won the toss and opted to bowl first.
Mumbai Indians have had a rough start to the season, suffering two consecutive losses, the most recent being against Gujarat Titans at Motera. Eager to bounce back, MI will be looking to regain their form and put their early setbacks behind them. Hardik Pandya and his squad will be determined to get back to winning ways in this crucial encounter.
Kolkata Knight Riders, coming off a win against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati, will be feeling positive, but their consistency has been a concern after last season’s title triumph. This match will also mark a special return for KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane, who has a strong connection to Wankhede Stadium, having played a significant part of his career there.
