MI Script History with 300th T20 Match

Mumbai Indians are set to become the first franchise to play 300 T20 matches when they face Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2026 opener.

At the Wankhede Stadium, MI will join Pakistan and Somerset as the only teams to reach the 300-match mark. This milestone comes as the five-time champions look to end a five-year title drought and secure a record-extending sixth trophy.

Led by Hardik Pandya, MI boast a strong squad featuring Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders face their own challenges with injuries and squad reshuffles ahead of the historic clash.
