Mumbai Indians will face Kolkata Knight Riders and the winner of  this game will make it into the playoffs until something very dramatic  happen. A win will move Mumbai to 20 points and they will be a certainty  in the playoffs.<br \/>\n<br \/>For KKR it is a tricky situation as they are on  17 points and a win will take them to 19, there are two other teams who  can finish with 19 points and that can create a lot of drama as the net  run-rate will come into play then.<\/p>\n<p>The match has a lot on stake  and it is expected to be a close fought contest. Let\u2019s have a look at  some players who can play decisive role for their respected team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kolkata Knight Riders<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gautam Gambhir<\/strong>:  He has done bulk of the scoring for KKR and has immense pressure on  him. Some of the big players from KKR have been disappointing so far and  it makes Gambhir\u2019s job that more important. Gambhir has played a major  role in almost all KKR wins and he will be looking to play one such  knock here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Debabrata Das<\/strong>: This youngster has been  exciting to watch and it doesn\u2019t make any sense why he bats so low. He  has been a far better batsman than both Yusuf Pathan and Manoj Tiwary  and he deserves a chance at the top of the order.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunil Narine<\/strong>:  He has been simply awesome in the tournament; he has turned matches in  the favor of KKR in the past in a matter of few deliveries. Narine did  not bowl well the last time the two teams met and he will be looking to  put the record straight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rajat Bhatia<\/strong>: He bowled the last  over against Chennai Super Kings and he bowled it beautifully till the  last ball. He bowled a rank full toss and went the distance on his last  delivery. Bhatia is an intelligent bowler and has performed well in the  past.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mumbai Indians<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rohit Sharma<\/strong>: Last  time the 5two teams met Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant century to win  the match. He played a fluent innings and was unstoppable. Sharma has a  habit of playing match winning innings now and then and he will be  looking to play one such innings here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ambati Rayudu<\/strong>: He  played a brilliant innings to win the match for Mumbai against Royal  Challengers Bangalore. Rayudu is a solid player and can play some big  shots. He thrives under pressure and raises his game in tough  situations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kieron Pollard<\/strong>: Pollard has been doing a good  job for Mumbai with the ball. He is an awkward bowler and uses his  height to extract uneven bounce from the pitch. His batting has also  been consistent and he played a major role in Mumbai\u2019s last win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lasith Malinga<\/strong>:  He is one of the most dangerous bowlers in T20 cricket and he has been  absolutely superb in this competition. He is just few wickets away from  the purple cap and will be looking to get his hands on what he has made  his own.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>Indian Sports News<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-4634\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gautam-gambhir.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Players to watch out from Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders match\" width=\"250\" style=\"float: left; margin: 6px;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gautam-gambhir.jpg 200w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gautam-gambhir-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>The number two and number three teams in the points table will face  each another in an exciting contest of the ongoing Indian Premier  League.
