MI vs KKR: 3 players eyeing major milestones in T20 cricket with the MI vs. KKR IPL 2025 clash at Wankhede Stadium ft. Sunil Narine

MI vs KKR: The Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders will be another major rivalry as the Mumbai Indians head to their home ground in the Wankhede Stadium for the first time in IPL 2025. 

Mumbai Indians have lost two consecutive games, just like every season's slow start, while on the other hand, KKR, the defending champions who lost the first game of the season to RCB, eventually won the second match against the Royals. 

On the very first occasion, MI will be in the hunt for their first win while KKR will be looking forward to maintaining their winning streak in the IPL. 

Three players eyeing milestones in the MI vs KKR clash 

1. Suryakumar Yadav is only 20 runs away from 8000 runs in T20 cricket

The Mumbai Indians maestro and T20 cricket fame, Suryakumar Yadav, has been known widely for his widespread caliber in the shortest format of the game. SKY needs just 20 runs to reach the major milestone of 8000 runs in the shortest format. 

SKY will have his chance to surpass this major milestone with a 20-run score in the opening match at Wankhede. 

2. Sunil Narine is just a wicket away from 200 wickets for KKR

The KKR veteran might possibly be returning to playing 11 in the match against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium. He has picked 199 wickets starring for the Knight Riders over the years in the IPL and the Champions League. 

With just one wicket away from the major landmark, Sunil Narine would become the first player in the history of IPL to complete 200 wickets for a single franchise. 

3. Ajinkya Rahane is just 73 runs away from 7000 T20 runs

Ajinkya Rahane, the newly appointed KKR skipper, won the first match of their tournament. Rahane excelled in the shortest format of the game recently with the player playing most of their game at the iconic venue of Wankhede Stadium. 

Rahane, with 73 runs, can reach the major landmark of 7000 runs in the T20 format, which includes runs in several other T20 tournaments other than the IPL.
