But this is a new season, and they have some good players like Finn Allen, Tim Seifert, and Rachin Ravindra, who are carrying good form from international cricket.

MI vs KKR: Ground Pitch Report

Wankhede Stadium is a happy hunting venue for the batters. It is a flat wicket here, which works in favor of the batters. This is a high-scoring venue, where a couple of 250+ scorers were scored in the T20 World Cup 2026. The boundaries are also short, and the outfield is very fast. Hence, this is an excellent venue for a chase.
