MI Vs KKR IPL Playoffs Eliminator : Team Strengths
Mumbai Indians have been relying on the skills of Sachin Tendulkar, Ambati Rayudu and Rohit Sharma for scoring their runs. Even their lesser totals have been successfully defended by their bowling and fielding attack which is not happening in the second half of the tournament. Sachin and Malinga, who were at peak form in the first half of the tournament, are looking in bad shape in the second half. Kieron Pollard and Andrew Symonds, the two big hitters have not delivered their best yet.
Lasith Malinga, who had a dream run in the first half of IPL 4 has not played vital roles in their matches they lost. Senior leg-spinner Harbhajan Singh is going for too many runs which is surely a bad sign for the Mumbai Indians.
Kolkata Knight Riders, once again have to depend of their run making machines Jacques Kallis, Gautam Gambhir and Manoj Tiwary for providing a good start. Jacques Kallis has made 417 runs so far, but was questioned for his strike rate being just above 112. But Kallis's anchoring innings can never be played by anybody and it is much needed when KKR lose early wickets.
Yusuf pathan has helped KKR with his batting and bowling abilities but he hasn't played his match winning knock yet. Spinner Iqbal Abdulla Shakib Al Hasan and Rajat Bhatia has been impressive so far and should continue the same even today. Medium pacer Lakshmipathy Balaji's presence in the KKR squad is quite uncertain as he devoted KKR's winning match to Mumbai Indians in just one over.
