KKR vs GT
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Gujarat Titans are two of the oldest IPL teams, boasting long histories as both former champions. Additionally, both teams have battled each other numerous times over time with memorable matches between them and fierce rivalries, leaving lasting marks in this competition. Both KKR and GT are famous for their passionate fans, superb cricket talent, and intense rivalries; clashing four times within this tournament with each team winning two matches between them.
KKR will look to rebound after suffering an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Punjab Kings last week. They must improve their batting, while finding ways to prevent their rival from running away with the match. After their loss, Ajinkya Rahane commented on how their approach should be reconsidered when it came to batsmen crumbling under pressure when given such an enormous target total to chase.
At the auction held in 2022, KKR acquired several key players. These included England wicket-keeper Sam Billings, West Indian spinner Sunil Narine and South African fast bowler Marchant de Lange as well as domestic stars like Iresh Saxena, Debabrata Das and Sanju Samson; additionally they acquired Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal for Rs 2 crore.
Even after their loss, Kolkata Knight Riders still hold second place with 12 points in the table. They remain in contention for winning their fifth consecutive title and can achieve this if they beat Gujarat Titans; however, these opponents won’t be an easy opponent as they possess an impressive lineup led by Jos Buttler who hit a century against Delhi Capitals this season and currently leads all run scorers in the league with 246 runs scored thus far! Additionally, Ahmed Shehzad and Jasprit Bumrah are performing well for their team as well.
Gujarat Titans vs Kolkata Knight Riders
Gujarat Titans (GT) bested Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in an exciting match at Eden Gardens to cement their spot atop of IPL table with a 39-run victory, led by Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan’s classy batting on an unpredictable pitch – which included 10 classy boundaries and three spectacular sixes that sent shockwaves through the stadium.
However, KKR’s lower middle order and lower order batsmen were unable to deliver and could not reach a competitive total. Ajinkya Rahane’s half century wasn’t enough of a push as Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Venkatesh Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi were dismissed cheaply with little effort by their batsmen to maintain the run rate against an aggressive GT bowling unit.
GT’s bowling attack was spearheaded by its potent spin attack of Mohammed Siraj, Rashid Khan and Washington Sundar who controlled run flow and choked off KKR batsmen on an uneven wicket with consistent turn. Ishant Sharma, Prasidh Krishna and Sai Kishore provided strong support by bowling with control and accuracy to dismantle vital partnerships that had formed.
GT’s bowlers were expertly guided by their stellar fielding performance; without dropping any catches and providing no ease in their chase for KKR’s target of 193. Shubman Gill made an impactful contribution while Jos Buttler played some useful cameo innings; yet ultimately their lack of consistency with bat caused their downfall and resulted in them succumbing to pressure of chasing such an imposing target – this defeat marked their fifth in eight matches, dropping them down the points table to sixth position; additionally it marked their first loss at home this season’s IPL tournament; loss will sting personally as KKR are now only two wins away from making top four places!

On Monday evening at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans will battle it out to start off their season on a high note. Kickoff time for this match-up will be at 7:30 PM IST and Jio Hotstar will live stream it.
KKR suffered a humiliating defeat against Punjab Kings last time out while GT have been on an incredible winning streak and are poised to take over first spot from them in just one win. To help their batting unit back on form against an in-form Titans side.
At Eden Gardens in their previous meeting between these sides, Gujarat Titans emerged victorious by 39 runs thanks to Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan’s splendid opening partnership, helping the visitors post 198/3 in 20 overs. Jos Buttler and Sherfane Rutherford also contributed well for GT.
Mohammed Siraj and Washington Sundar each took two wickets while Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore each picked up one wicket each. Additionally, spinners also did an effective job of keeping KKR batters at bay without allowing their pace to take hold.
Kolkata Knight Riders batsmen have struggled all season and need to find their form soon if they want any hope of making a comeback in the league. Relying heavily on bowlers like Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy to win matches has not worked as Sunil Narine is yet unable to deliver with the bat as expected by Varun Chakravarthy; thus leaving other batsmen open to step up if the Kolkata Knight Riders hope of making an impressionful comeback in 2019!
