Kris Srikkanth has expressed strong confidence in Rohit Sharma's ability to perform against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Mumbai Indians' IPL 2026 season opener. Srikkanth noted Rohit's past success against KKR, humorously referring to the team as Rohit's 'badam halwa' team due to his comfort and scoring ability against them.
Rohit's statistics against KKR are impressive, with 1,083 runs at a strike rate of 127.86, including six half-centuries and one century. While his recent half-century against them was in 2020, his aggressive T20 batting approach has intensified in the past two seasons, with strike rates increasing significantly.
Mumbai Indians are beginning their 2026 campaign with the goal of ending a five-year wait for an IPL title, their last victory being in 2020. The team, which has secured five titles between 2013 and 2020, will also feature key players from India's T20 World Cup-winning squad.
