KKR have never quite managed to impress against Mumbai and could face a double loss once again.
They need to get back to basics right and improve their show after a poor performance against RCB.
All-rounder Andre Russell has struggled this season with the bat and that is a cause of concern.
KKR need newer ideas and should make some bold decisions.
