The three-time champions KKR will kickstart their IPL 2026 campaign against five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in a clash of heavyweights at Mumbai on March 29. Ahead of the tournament, the main talking points are the role, batting position and expectations from the franchise's big-ticket signing Green, on whom the team splurged Rs 25.20 crores last year in the action. Also, another point of intrigue is if Seifert and Allen, who were instrumental in the Kiwis' run to the finals in the ICC T20 World Cup final this year, will be playing as openers or if there will be another combination in place, perhaps with an Indian player like the skipper Ajinkya Rahane or Angkrish Raghuvanshi.
