Welcome to the coverage of the fifth match of the Indian Premier League 2016 between Kolkata Knoight Riders and Mumbai Indians, in Kolkata, on Wednesday.

Defending champions Mumbai Indians will be aiming to get back to winning ways when they take on Kolkata Knight Riders, who have been boosted by the return of mystery spinner Sunil Narine.

While KKR clinically decimated Delhi Daredevils by nine wickets having bowled the opposition for a sub-100 score, the Mumbai Indians were at the receiving end with league debutants Rising Pune Supergiants giving them a sound thrashing by nine wickets.

Narine, who had left for the Caribbean after his father's demise is back in Kolkata, and with clearance from the International Cricket Council will like to forge a lethal combination with 45-year-old
chinaman exponent Brad Hogg, if both are picked as overseas recruits.

Narine with 74 IPL scalps from four seasons has been instrumental in Gautam Gambhir leading the Shah Rukh Khan co-owned franchise to titles in 2012 and 2014.

If Mumbai Indians, who had won their two IPL titles at this venue in 2013 and 2015, will have to bounce back from the defeat against debutants Pune Supergiants in the IPL opener, the onus will be on their batters to decode the spin puzzle of KKR at their happy hunting venue.

Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma who will have to lead by example up front at the same venue where he had scored an ODI world record 264.

"Hopefully, we will go back and come back with a positive frame of mind. Never thought the ball would do that much having played a lot of cricket here. They swung it a lot and our shot selection wasn't great. We have good memories in Kolkata. It's just the start of the tournament, no need to panic," Rohit had said.

With their team think-tank boasting the legendary duo of Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting to go with a star studded line-up captained by Rohit Sharma, there's an overflowing of talents in the most decorated dressing room.
