Shubman Gill’s outstanding 90 and Sai Sudharsan’s aggressive 52 were instrumental in Gujarat Titans defeating defending champion Kolkata Knight Riders by 39 runs at Eden Gardens.
Vaibhav provides another impressive over, bending his back to gain extra bounce before taking Sudharsan’s top edge for an over with only four off hits. A complete success. Check the full Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans match scorecard for detailed stats and updates.

KKR vs GT
KKR have not won any home matches this season, so they’re hoping that their meeting against Gujarat Titans at Eden Gardens on Monday can change that. Both teams are separated by only one point in the table, so any win would boost both playoff hopes.
Eden Gardens will likely prove an advantageous batting surface, with dew likely adding to batters’ chances of scoring runs. But if the dew stays, spinners could find spinners struggle against the surface. Live coverage will be provided via Hotstar.
GT made history earlier in the season by beating KKR, and will aim to do it again. Their batsmen have been performing admirably while their bowlers have provided them with the platform needed to win games.
Shubman Gill has been in outstanding form, leading GT with Sai Sudharsan at the helm. Additionally, Ajinkya Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer have shown consistent form throughout their innings to keep up their run rate and keep GT in contention.
But the key for KKR will be finding an equilibrium between their bowling and batting. They must stop conceding runs in the powerplay – with Siraj struggling in recent matches – as well as address their catching issues; dropping catches has been an ongoing problem this season; giving Gurbaz Khan more chances should Quinton de Kock fail to gain momentum this year.
KKR have experienced three consecutive defeats, but will look to get back on the winning track against GT and claim back top spot in the table. Their arsenal boasts some exceptional match-winners who should help secure an unexpected home victory against GT.
