After going through a difficult first half of the season, Kolkata Knight Riders have revived their playoff hopes with an impressive run of form, registering five victories in their previous six outings. The three-time IPL champions are still in a must-win situation, as defeats in either of their remaining fixtures could end their chances of reaching the knockout stage.

KKR vs MI 2nd Innings Dream11 Team, Fantasy Picks and Key Players to Watch - Match 65
-1779275748388.webp)
KKR are set to face the Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens, and they head into this contest after a dominant all-round display to hand the Gujarat Titans a 29-run defeat. Sunil Narine once again delivered a match-winning performance and played a major role in the victory. He remains a top pick for the KKR vs MI 2nd Innings Dream11 Team.
Despite their recent comeback, KKR’s overall record against the Mumbai Indians remains heavily tilted in MI’s favour. However, the visitors are also dealing with setbacks in their squad, as Quinton de Kock and Raj Angad Bawa have been sidelined due to injuries during IPL 2026. Mumbai, though, will enter this game after defeating the Punjab Kings and will aim to finish the season strongly with consecutive wins.
