MI vs KKR Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Tilak Varma

Tilak Varma could be the batter to watch out for in the game against KKR. The southpaw has so far scored 70 runs in two innings, but hasn’t converted the starts into a big score. However, with MI set to play their first game at home, Varma will be hopeful to make the most of it. The youngster will have the responsibility to anchor the innings and provide the finishing touches.

Probable Best Bowler: Varun Chakaravarthy

Varun Chakaravarthycould be the best bowler in the upcoming match against MI. Chakaravarthy, who has so far taken only three wickets in two games, will be dangerous in the forthcoming game. The spinner can bamboozle the batters with his variations. MI will need to be careful while facing the 33-year-old as he can dismantle the entire batting line-up.
