MI are currently ranked ninth on the points table with three wins in 10 matches. They suffered their seventh loss in the previous encounter against Lucknow Super Giants by four wickets. However, they will be aiming to put up a strong fight and stay in contention for the playoffs.

KKR, meanwhile, are coming off a seven-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in their last game in Kolkata. They find themselves in second position with six wins and three losses.

On that note, here are three differential picks you could opt for in the upcoming MI vs KKR Dream11 match.

Vaibhav Arora has been the most consistent bowler for the Kolkata Knight Riders this season after Sunil Narine. The 26-year-old has taken nine wickets in five matches, including a three-wicket haul. He picked up a wicket against the Mumbai Indians in the reverse fixture and will be keen to add more wickets to his name tonight.


#1 Venkatesh Iyer (KKR) - 7.5 credits

Venkatesh Iyer could be one of the trump cards in your KKR vs MI Dream11 team given his outstanding record against the Mumbai Indians. In four games against MI, the 29-year-old ahs accumulated 250 runs at an excellent average of 83. This includes two fifties and a century in the last game.

While Iyer has scored just 154 runs this season, he is expected to bat in the top order in the upcoming game. Expect him to deliver the goods against MI tonight.
