MI vs KKR, Match 51 Pitch Report:
The surface has played really well so far this season. It is a true wicket with an even pace and bounce on offer. It has been a high-scoring venue as the batters could play their shots through the line. However, there will be some help for the pace bowlers as well as they might get some swing with the new ball and there might be some seam movement off the surface too. Furthermore, they could extract some extra bounce to trouble the batters with effort balls.
