What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for MI vs KKR, IPL 2023, Match 22?
Top Pick – Batter
Rohit Sharma will become invincible once he starts scoring runs. He is back in the form with an excellent 65 runs against Delhi Capitals.
Top Pick – All-Rounder
Cameron Green was pushed down the order in the last game against Delhi Capitals and it turned out to be a master stroke for Mumbai Indians as the Aussie all-rounder scored an unbeaten 17* runs.
Top Pick – Bowler
Piyush Chawla is using his variations quite well as the batters failed to pick him at times in this IPL. In 3 matches, he has scalped 4 wickets with the best figures of 3 for 22.
Top Pick – Wicketkeeper
Ishan Kishan is one of the talented wicketkeeper batters in the country however he still needs to be more sensible with his approach after getting starts. In 3 matches in this IPL, he has scored 73 runs at a strike rate of 121.66.
X-Factor:
Rinku Singh is in the middle of his breakthrough season. He has taken up the role of a finisher for Knight Riders as Andre Russell hasn’t been at his best. In 4 matches in this IPL, he has smoked 156 runs at a strike rate of 175.28.

Pre-Match Analysis:
Everything fall in the place for Mumbai Indians against Delhi Capitals as they got home on the final ball of the match to secure 6 wickets win. Rohit Sharma this time was spot on with his decision making as he rotated his bowlers well and arrived in style with the bat with a crafty 65 runs. Tilak Varma who has been their promising star continues to evolve from match to match, scoring 147 runs in 3 innings. Veteran Piyush Chawla is a surprise element for them who has claimed 4 wickets. Suryakumar Yadav is undergoing a bad phase and averages 5.33. There is still no update on Jofra Archer who missed the last 2 matches. It’s a good opportunity for them to extend their winning run on their home ground.
The bowlers let the side down for Kolkata Knight Riders in the last outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad as a result they encountered their 2nd defeat in this tournament. Except for Sunil Narine the other bowlers went more than 10 runs an over which made them to concede 228 runs on the board at the end of 20 overs. Half-centuries from Nitish Rana and the man in form Rinku Singh went in vain eventually they lost the match by 23 runs. Lockie Ferguson went too costly in his last 2 matches without picking a wicket and Tim Southee is likely to replace him in this match. It’s a bit strange as they haven’t utilized the bowling services of Shardul Thakur to the fullest.
