KKR vs GT Team Previews

Kolkata Knight Riders

Under the leadership of Ajinkya Rahane, Kolkata has brought out team lineups with a blend of experience and youth. Rahane himself has been a standout performer with 221 runs at an average of 36.83 and a strike rate of 148.32.

Youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi has impressed in the 2025 IPL with 170 runs, including a half-century. South African international Quinton de Kock has contributed 143 runs with a top score of 97 not out. Rinku Singh remains a reliable finisher, averaging 38.67 with the bat and striking at over 150.

The Knight Riders’ all-round capabilities are bolstered by West Indians Andre Russell and Sunil Narine. Russell, despite a modest run tally of only 34 runs, has taken five wickets at an economy of 7.80. Sunil Narine has added depth with seven wickets and a remarkable economy rate of 7.33. His batting efforts of 130 runs at a strike rate over 185 are not to be scoffed at either.

In the bowling department, Varun Chakravarthy and Harshit Rana have been up there with the best in the team. Each of them has claimed ten wickets this year. Anrich Nortje, though only featuring in one match up until now, has shown promise with his pace. His total wickets tally in the IPL sits at 61 wickets.

Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans are captained by Shubman Gill. The opening batter has literally led from the front. He has 215 runs and two half-centuries in this IPL. Opening batting partner Sai Sudharsan has been exceptional on his way to 365 runs, a batting average over 50 and a strike rate over 150.

Jos Buttler has provided explosive starts, notably an unbeaten 97 off 54 balls against Delhi Capitals. The middle order, featuring Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan, has consistently contributed in ways big and small. Rutherford hit an important knock of 43 runs in his previous innings.

The Gujarat bowling attack has been spearheaded by Afghan Rashid Khan with 60 wickets for the franchise. Mohammed Siraj has 14 wickets in his last nine IPL bowling innings. Sai Kishore and Prasidh Krishna have also been effective in this year’s IPL with 11 and 14 wickets respectively. Krishna took four wickets against Delhi.

KKR vs GT Toss Prediction

The teams are likely to want to chase at this ground. Gujarat Titans won their previous match by chasing. Both results in 2023 between these teams had the side batting second winning.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

Eden Gardens would generally be considered a batting-friendly surface because of its true bounce and consistency. The pacers will have the moving new ball at their disposal, but the spinners will be more effective in the second half of the match. The average first innings score at this venue for the 2025 IPL is currently 204.

There is a five percent chance of rain on the day. The days leading up would have been quite wet. The heat may feel excessive, particularly with quite a high level of humidity too.

KKR vs GT: Who Will Win?

Kolkata Knight Riders losing their previous game and Gujarat Titans winning their previous game should point out who owns the favourites tag for this fixture. The Titans have a top-order batting lineup which has blasted teams away, while also possessing an effective bowling lineup. The home side were bowled out for 95 against Punjab. That is currently the tied-lowest score this IPL.

KKR vs GT win percentage stands at 48% in favor of GT.
