KKR v MI, IPL 2021: Today match players list & umpires

While the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will embark on a quest to reach the top of the points table, defending champions Mumbai Indians will look to get off the mark in Match 5 of IPL 2021 at Chepauk on Tuesday (April 13).

For starters, Eoin Morgan won the toss and put MI in on a pitch which seems to be on the slower side. Wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock has completed his quarantine, meaning he replaces Chris Lynn at the top of the order.

The rest of the line-up remains the same, with MI going in with three specialist fast bowlers and one spinner. Their four overseas picks are Quinton de Kock, Kieron Pollard, Marco Jansen and Trent Boult.

KKR, on the other hand, are going in with an unchanged playing XI from Sunday’s 10-run victory over the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The two-time IPL champions are fielding two frontline speedsters and as many spinners. KKR’s four overseas players include skipper Eoin Morgan, Andre Russell, Shakib Al Hasan and Pat Cummins.
