Sachin vs Gauti
Mumbai Indians
There could be a few changes or rearrange in the batting order. There is a possibility that the brilliant Rohit Sharma could open with Tendulkar. Sharma is not new to this role as in the past he had opened for the Indian team. The little master continues to be the main run-getter for MI with 477 runs from 14 matches. Sharma (359 runs) and Rayudu (383 runs) have been the other main batsmen.
If the three get going at the top, then players like Kieron Pollard, Franklin could be upsetting in the ‘death’ overs. Lasith Malinga is the top wicket-taker in IPL-4 with 27 wickets from 14 matches.
Key Players: Rayudu, Lasith Malinga, Rohit Sharma
Kolkata Knight Riders
For Gautam Gambhir, it was a nightmare of the last over against MI other day as it was a disappointing end to the league campaign. He was confident that both KKR and Balaji will come back hard at Mumbai. Gambhir has followed in the way of MS Dhoni. He has been cool and calculative.
In other seasoned players like Jacques Kallis and Brett Lee, KKR have got the extra cushion. But it is the performances of batsman Manoj Tiwary and left-arm spinner Iqbal Abdulla that have caught the eye.
Key Players: Jacques Kallis, Brett Lee, Yusuf Pathan
