Kolkata who are playing at their home ground would be looking to start the campaign with a decisive win where as 2013 champions Mumbai Indians would go all guns blazing to prove themselves today. The strength of both teams is their batting. With Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa, Manish Pandey, Shakib-al-Hasan, Yusuf Pathan, KKR is capable of tearing any bowling apart.
On the other hand Mumbai Indians also have some of the most dangerous T20 players. Rohit Sharma, Corey Anderson and Kieron Pollard can change the fortune of the game all by themselves.
