Why the MI vs KKR Rivalry Matters
Mumbai Indians have won 5 IPL titles (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020) and finished runners-up in 2010. Kolkata Knight Riders have won 3 IPL titles (2012, 2014, 2024) and finished runners-up in 2021.
Few IPL rivalries have been as one-sided as this one. Mumbai Indians held a long winning streak over Kolkata through the 2010s and still have roughly two wins for every one of Kolkata’s. Kolkata’s emergence as champions again in 2024 has made the recent meetings far more competitive, but the overall record remains Mumbai’s strongest against any original franchise.
Over 37 meetings spread across 19 seasons, the fixture has produced 2 playoff meetings, and its highest-scoring game (29 Mar 2026) produced 444 runs in total.
