Generally, the finalists of the previous year take on each other in the opening encounter. But because this season is being played under the new regulations due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we would witness a slight change. It's the defending champions who do play the opening game but against RCB rather than Delhi Capitals. Nonetheless, it's the start that matters and more so this year because of the crazy times we are living in.

Mumbai Indians have a history of not starting well in IPL. They have lost most of their opening games in the last few years. But they would be desperate to change that record. No team playing at home this season evens things out a little. So, expect a cracking encounter between the sides led by two giants of Indian cricket - Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
