Led by Suryakumar Yadav, the Mumbai Indians started off their encounter against the Chennai Super Kings with a four-wicket defeat. Later, Hardik Pandya was back to lead the MI side. However, the side’s fortunes remain unchanged.

In the second game of the season, MI suffered a 36-run defeat against the Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. They would be aiming to turn their tables in this home game against KKR.

On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders, led by Ajinkya Rahane, started off with a defeat against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2025 season opener. Later, they stunned the Rajasthan Royals franchise with an exceptional win.

On that note, let’s take a look at three players to watch out for in the Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders game, Match 13.

3. Quinton de Kock

Kolkata Knight Riders opening batter Quinton de Kock is our third player to watch out for in this interesting game. He is coming into this contest after scoring an unbeaten century against the Rajasthan Royals.
