MIvKKR: Wankhede beckons, comeback beckons! B.E.L.I.E.V.E

By Mumbai Indians

After a tough run of games on the road, it is time to return to our spiritual abode and seek a much-needed change in fortunes. Yes, the MI Boys are back at the Wankhede Stadium and will go with a confident prayer of an upturn in form against an opponent we have the wood over, the Kolkata Knight Riders. 

The Mumbai Indians have a commanding 23-9 lead, and have emerged victorious in nine out of the ten MIvKKR IPL matches at the Wankhede Stadium.

But the Knight Riders come to the Wankhede with confidence in their position on the IPL 2024 points table. The Shreyas Iyer-led side sits second with six wins and three losses in nine games and 12 points in the bag.

Paltan, we have been unbeatable against KKR at our fortress since the defeat in 2012, and you can expect your favourite stars to reignite the flames of BELIEVE with a commanding triumph tomorrow. Yes, it all comes down to that word.
