Kolkata spinner Iqbal Abdulla got rid of Dwayne Smith (47) while Rajat Bhatia bowled out Sachin Tendulkar (48).
Bhatia struck in the 13th over to give Kolkata first breakthrough by dismissing Tendulkar after his 28-ball knock, studded with eight boundaries.
In the next over Smith was caught by McLaren off Iqbal at the score of 99.
After opting to bat, Mumbai started slowly as they were just 13 in first three overs. But Tendulkar soon gave his side the momentum by pulling off 20 runs of a McLaren's over.
Mumbai have replaced injured Pawan Suyal with Abu Nechim. The visitors have made two changes, bringing in paceman Ryan McLaren in place of spinner Sachithra Senanayake and replacing Sumit Narwal with Laxmipati Balaji.
Teams: Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma (C), Dwayne Smith, Sachin Tendulkar, Dinesh Karthik, Kieron Pollard, Ambati Rayudu, Harbhajan Singh, Abu Nechim, Mitchell Johnson, Lasith Malinga and Pragyan Ojha.
Kolkata Knight Riders: Gautam Gambhir (C), Manvinder Bisla, Jacques Kallis, Yusuf Pathah, Eoin Morgan, Debabrata Das, Rajat Bhatia, Iqbal Abdulla, Sunil Narine, Ryan McLaren and L Balaji.
