Rohit Sharma vs KKR stats and last 5 innings list: Rohit Sharma vs Umesh Yadav IPL records

Rohit Sharma vs KKR stats and last 5 innings list: Rohit Sharma will be playing his 30th match against Kolkata Knight Riders tonight.

Mumbai Indians is perhaps the only sports team in the world whose fans aren’t worried much about the team losing its first few matches in a tournament. A primary reason for the same is that most of their title victories have come in seasons where they couldn’t secure a win in their first few matches.

The ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League has started on a similar note for the most successful franchise in the history of the tournament. Having lost their first two matches, Indians would be hoping to stage a victory against Kolkata Knight Riders in Pune tonight.

Hence, MI would be hoping for their captain and second-most experienced player Rohit Sharma to contribute significantly at the top of the order.
