Shillong, April 16: Mumbai Indians will host Kolkata Knight Riders in the first game of the IPL 2023 doubleheader, while Gujarat Titans will host Rajasthan Royals today.
At the Wankhede Stadium, the game between MI and KKR will start at 3:30 pm, while the game between GT and RR will start at 7:30 pm at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Mumbai Indians allowed free entry to 19,000 children from 36 NGOs, thus the match between MI and Kolkata Knight Riders would be a special one, at least for the fans. The ninth-placed Mumbai Indians opened their account after winning their third game. The fifth-placed KKR, on the other hand, lost their most recent game just as it appeared their season was turning around.
The winners in IPL 2022, Gujarat Titans will face Rajasthan Royals for the first time. With RR atop the table and GT occupying the third position in the rankings, both teams are now level on six points. Both GT and RR have only lost one game total, and they will enter the contest with a winning record.
