Mumbai Indians will look to reverse their fortunes against Kolkata Knight riders on 23rd September after a disappointing loss to Chennai Super Kings in the first match while Kolkata Knight riders will look to get their campaign off to a winning start.

The match is set to be played in Abu Dhabi and MI will be hoping the experience of having played their first match there will benefit them. All the matches up till now have been in the range of 155-165 and batting has become relatively tougher towards the latter part of the innings.

Both the teams, with perhaps the strongest middle orders in the tournament will surely be looking utilize this strength and post a score higher than the par score as chasing hasn’t been easy up till now. With a number of top stars available for this game, these are 3 must include players in your team.

Let us have a look at 3 must-pick players in Dream11 Fantasy team for MI vs KKR game:

1. Andre Russell (10.5 credits)

The T20 superstar doesn’t need any introduction. When in the zone, there isn’t a more destructive batsman in today’s day and age than Andre Russell. In the recently concluded CPL, even on sluggish pitches, he managed to score 222 runs in 9 innings with 3 50s.

While his fitness issues may prevent him from bowling, the inclusion of Eoin Morgan in KKR makes their middle-order much more flexible and Russell is likely to get more balls to play this season, and whenever Russel has got time in the middle he has scored massive runs.

2. Shubman Gill (8.5 credits)

A shining young prospect, this is definitely going to be career-defining season for Gill. He has been spoken highly about by coach Brendon McCullum and according to him Gill will not only bat in the top order right through the season but will also assume a leadership role in the team.

Gill had a good season last year with 296 runs in 14 innings. With a calm head over his shoulders, excellent temperament, and a solid technique, Gill could really flourish this season. He is a must pick.

3. Quinton de Kock (9.5 credits)

The only Mumbai Indians batsman who seemed to be striking the ball cleanly in the first game was Quinton de Kock. He scored a quickfire 33 of just 20 balls and was timing the ball very well. He is a batsman who can utilize the powerplay to the fullest and will enjoy the pace of the Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers. Kock being a keeper is an added bonus.
