IPL 2025, MI vs KKR Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report And Mumbai Weather Forecast Today Match: Languishing at the bottom of the Indian Premier League 2025 standings after losing both their matches so far in this season, the Mumbai Indians will hope that the familiar environs of the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai will inspire a turnaround in fortunes. Five-time champions MI host the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who are currently perched on sixth spot with one win and a defeat, in an IPL 2025 clash on Monday.
What will be interesting to see is how the home fans at Mumbai react to Hardik Pandya returning as the franchise captain. Last time around, Pandya had copped plenty of flak from his own home fans after taking over the MI team’s reins from the veteran Rohit Sharma.
Here’s what to expect from the MI vs KKR IPL 2025 match at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday evening.
MI vs KKR IPL 2025 Pitch Report for Wankhede Stadium
The pitch at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai has traditionally been a high-scoring surface. Recently, former cricketer Robin Uthappa had listed the Wankhede Stadium as one of the five venues hosting IPL games that will possibly see a team scoring 300 runs in a game.
Wankhede Stadium has notoriously small boundaries coupled with red soil surface, so expect the conditions at the iconic stadium where India won the 2011 World Cup to be favourable to the batters. Logic dictates that the team winning the toss will want to field first in the IPL.
