It’s a tale of two very different franchises so far in the 2014 IPL with Kings XI Punjab top of the table with an unbeaten record and Mumbai Indians having failed to win a single game.
The reigning champions struggled badly in the UAE and will probably be glad to be back in familiar territory with the tournament returning to India.
Kings XI on the other hand had a superb five matches in the Middle East, with Australian batsman Glenn Maxwell firing them to straight victories.
Maxwell has been well supported by South African David Miller and together they have made their side look like early favourites to win the competition.
Mumbai meanwhile are struggling to adapt this year and their top order has failed to produce on a consistent basis.
Kieron Pollard did put on an impressive knock in their last game – a defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad – but captain Rohit Sharma and 2013 Orange Cap winner Mike Hussey are yet to find any form.
Their only real positive has been Lasith Malinga and they will be relying on the Sri Lanka to try and suppress Maxwell and Miller at the crease.
