10 reasons why you should be at the brabourne or in front of your tv for tonight's Mumbai vsu00a0KKR clash

One of the most enthralling sights in cricket today is when Sachin Tendulkar takes the field in a Mumbai match. It's the same, be it at Wankhede Stadium, the DY Patil ground in Nerul or the Brabourne where Mumbai Indians clash with Kolkata Knight Riders today. Don't miss this!

2 Dadagiri
Not many cricketers in contemporary cricket have been as fascinating as Sourav Ganguly. His fans would be thanking the IPL, for it got him back into their lives. Dada's popularity is undiminished and if he gets going today, he will be a bigger hit with the Mumbai crowd.

3 CCI, you beauty
The Cricket Club of India makes for an awesome sight especially under floodlights. Those at the ground will welcome the opportunity to soak in the cricketing atmosphere. The lesser fortunate ones shouldn't be too unhappy. The television screen is wonderful to be in front of.

4 Zed factor
The Kolkata Knight Riders are packed with explosive batters, but that won't worry Zaheer Khan. He's a class act and KKR will not relish the sight of him steaming in to bowl on home turf. Recently, Sir Garry Sobers revealed that he liked Zaheer's cricketing style and aggression.

5 Chris Gayle
Wonder whether the Knight Riders regret resting him in the last match against Rajasthan Royals, but they would have had a good reason. Gayle's entry is a huge plus. If he gets his eye in, you can bet the Jamaican will hit them high, wide and handsome.

6 Tiwary thunder
Sourabh Tiwary (above) may remind you of a young Mahendra Singh Dhoni with his long hair, but his cricketing talent too has to be considered. He hits the ball cleanly and has shown what he could bring to the Mumbai
Indians table. Tiwary is a must-watch today.

7 Shane Bond
What better sight for a cricket lover than to watch a genuine fast bowler running in and letting it rip. Shane Bond provides all this and wickets too. Kolkata Knight Riders spent a minimum of $750,000 for this Kiwi pace ace and it looks like they want their opponents to pay a price.

8 Malinga magic
If Bond is Knight Riders' chief pace weapon, Mumbai Indians can boast of Lasith Malinga. His slinging action makes it difficult to hit over the top and the hosts must cash in on this advantage. Unless of course, the KKR batsmen use a Mongoose bat which could negate Malinga's edge

9 Brave Bravo
Dwayne Bravo may not believe in scoring a pile of runs or claiming a bagful of wickets, but he likes dishing out significant, qualitative performances which have helped Mumbai Indians. The hosts will be hoping he can 'chip' in with some vital breakthroughs. Watch his catching ability too.

10 Owner's pride
Team owners are part of the glamour quotient at the IPL. There's no reason to believe Nita Ambani will not be seen in the dugout, but wonder whether Shah Rukh Khan will make his way to Churchgate or decide to stay back to allow his team to play freely without him in attendance.
