A quick word - Mohammed Siraj opens up about his rhythm, saying he played only a single game in the T20 World Cup which meant he lacked match rhythm coming in. He adds that he has found it back over the last two matches. He explains that his bowling is built around his run up, and that visualisation is a key part of his process. On the pitch, he calls it a very good wicket for batting. Shares that the brief with the new ball was straightforward, to hit the right areas as consistently as possible and let the seam do the work.
Rovman Powell then tried to shift the momentum with a counter-attack, but could not carry on for long enough. After Powell's departure, Cameron Green took matters into his own hands and put behind his early struggles. A defining moment came in the over against Rashid Khan, where he struck a couple of fours and a six, which got him going.
We want to bat freely - That's what Ajinkya Rahane said at the toss after opting to bat without the scoreboard pressure, but GT allowed KKR anything but that in the opening exchanges. Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada hit their straps straight away, extracting movement both off the seam and through the air, along with some uneven bounce. KKR were rocked early and reduced to 32/3, with just 37 runs coming off the Powerplay.
KKR end up with 180 - GT started strongly and have finished well too. KKR will be disappointed with the way they finished. After recovering from a shaky start, things looked promising heading into the death overs, but it all fell away as Kolkata lost their last 6 wickets for 33 runs.

Rashid Khan To Cameron Green OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Fantastic final over from Rashid after being carted in the previous three overs. A good length leg break, wide outside off. Green is half forward, and reaches for it by throwing his hands at it, but only finds the outside edge through to the keeper. A sharp catch from Jos Buttler behind the stumps, to his right. KKR ARE BOWLED OUT ON 180!

Rashid Khan To Cameron Green
FOUR BYES! Goes past everyone! Flighted and too full, on middle and leg, Green comes charging down the track to smash it out of his presence, but the ball dips on him and Green misses. Buttler is perhaps blinded by the batter standing in front of him and is late to react, and it races away behind to the deep fine leg fence for four byes.

Nicely bowled! Slower through the air, outside off, on a length. Green switches the stance to play the reverse sweep, but misses to connect.
Well, well! It will be Rashid Khan to bowl the final over and not Ashok Sharma. A gamble taken by Shubman Gill. Rashid has gone for 43 runs in his 3 overs, and Green has had the wood over the leggie tonight.

Prasidh Krishna To Kartik Tyagi OUT!
OUT! KARTIK TYAGI IS RUN OUT! Good presence of mind from Krishna. He nails the yorker at the legs again, and Tyagi ends up nutmegging himself while trying to flick the ball to the leg side. Buttler collects the ball and Tyagi is still ball-watching, but Green rushes through to the other end, but Buttler misses his shy at the striker's end and the ball rolls to the bowler. Krishna picks the ball and runs to the bowling end to dislodge the bails with Kartik nowhere in the frame.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Phillips comes up with a fine catch. A full ball by Siraj, outside the off stump. Sunil Narine tries to pump it behind deep cover, but slices it aerially behind the point region. Glenn Phillips from backward point, covers a lot of ground to his left, running backward and actually, for a moment, overruns, but manages to take the catch with a slide. Kolkata Knight Riders are 166/8 now, with their innings falling apart.

Ashok Sharma To Ramandeep Singh OUT!
OUT! MILES UP AND CAUGHT! The slower one does the trick again for Ashok. Back of the hand slower ball, full and outside off, at 105.9 kph. Ramandeep gets down on one knee and looks to go big down the ground. The change of pace deceives him. He fails to read it, miscues off the toe end, and sends it ballooning high into the wide long on region. Siraj moves to his right and settles under the skier, taking it with a reverse cup just above his right shoulder. 147/4 becomes 165/7 for KKR.
A glancing blow on the helmet for Ramandeep Singh. The physio is out for the concussion check. Ramandeep is ready to resume.

Kagiso Rabada To Rinku Singh OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! No heroics from Rinku in Ahmedabad this time around. Slammed hard on a length, angled across the batter with a good bit of bounce. Rinku Singh opens up his stance and tries to smash it down the ground, but loses his shape completely while doing so and a thin outside edge is found. Buttler takes a regulation catch behind, followed by a muted celebration. Wicket number 3 for Rabada and GT come back strongly. Kolkata Knight Riders have slipped from 147/4 to 148/6 in the span of three balls.
111/2 in this 7-15 overs phase for the Kolkata Knight Riders. Kagiso Rabada is back on. 3-0-20-2 so far.

Prasidh Krishna To Rinku Singh
Going away, on a length. Rinku opens the bat face and carves it to deep point. Gets off the mark with a single.
STRATEGIC BREAK! A wicket at a crucial time for the Titans, but this has been a sensational redemption for Cameron Green. Mind you, he started off on a sluggish note yet again, but he targeted Rashid Khan and hasn't looked back since. Still, anything below 200 might not be sufficient on a good batting track like this. For that, Green's presence in the middle is of huge importance for the Knight Riders. GT will look to slow things down from here and keep picking wickets. The visitors still have a couple of batters left to come, and Rinku Singh walks in at number 7.

Prasidh Krishna To Anukul Roy OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Prasidh Krishna breaks through for GT. Krishna pushes it across the left-hander, on a good length from over the wicket. Roy's weight stays on the back foot, and he stays leg side of the ball, looking to go inside out. The ball leaves him with the angle and grazes the outside edge on the way to the keeper, Jos Buttler, who snaffles it safely. Wicket number 11 of the season for Prasidh.

He fails to cling on and to make matters worse for GT, the ball trickles into the ropes off his hands.

FIFTY FOR CAMERON GREEN! Off 34 balls. That will make him feel a lot better after all the struggles he has had this season. His first fifty in KKR colors, and overall, this is his 3rd IPL half century. This is pitched on a length, on off and middle. Green waits back and nudges it behind square leg and scampers back for the second run. The KKR dugout is up on its feet as he calmly raises his bat.

WIDE! Sharp bumper, outside off, and it keeps flying off the pitch. Even Green's tall figure is unable to reach that for the ramp shot. Buttler leaps and collects the ball behind. Green has taken the review for wide not given, reckoning that it passed above his head. Ball Tracking confirms that it is over his head height. So it will be called a wide.

GT burn a review! Floated up, on a length, in and around the off pole. Green plants his front foot across and attempts the sweep. The ball sneaks under his bat to catch him on the knee roll on the front pad. A loud shout for LBW but turned down. A leg bye is taken as the ball goes down to deep fine leg. The impact looks outside the line but Rashid seems confident and GT send it upstairs. The Ball Tracking confirms that the impact is outside the line of the off stump.
A review for LBW, taken by the Gujarat Titans, challenging the on-field decision. No bat involved. Ball Tracking shows that the impact is outside off.
Top-drawer pace variations from Ashok in this over. With a budding partnership broken, KKR are back to square one, to reconstruct. Anukul Roy is the next batter.

After the previous bouncer at 146 kph, Sharma dishes out the back-of-the-hand slower ball at 107.7 kph. This is fuller and around off. Powell clears the front leg and swings to go downtown but he does not pick the change of pace. Rovman is early into the lofted hit and skies it towards mid on, where Mohammed Siraj runs in off the ropes and takes the catch around his left shoulder.

Prasidh Krishna To Cameron Green
FOUR! Good pick-up shot and that should get Green going! Touch back of a length, on off, angling in. Green picks the length early, weighs on the back foot and pulls it over mid-wicket for a one-bounce boundary.
STRATEGIC BREAK! Good last couple of overs for KKR, and that has prompted the GT skipper, Shubman Gill, to call for the time-out. KKR are not out of choppy waters just yet, but the counter-attack from Rovman Powell would have helped ease some pressure off the struggling Cameron Green. The Titans still have the Knight Riders on the back foot, and will want to ensure the pressure created by Siraj and Rabada does not relent. Prasidh Krishna to bowl after the break. He went for 11 runs in his opening over.

Kagiso Rabada To Rovman Powell
A slight appeal for LBW, but not given. Probably a bit too straight to go down leg. Full in length, angled at the leg stump line. Rovman Powell plays all around while trying to work it leg side and is hit on the front pad.
Will Rabada also get the third over? Yes, he will bowl the final over of the Powerplay. 2-0-19-2 so far are his bowling figures. Two slips in place. You rarely see that.

OUT! CAUGHT! Two wickets in two overs for Rabada. The start gets even better for the Titans. Not the best of balls by Rabada, though. Short and wide on off, there to be put away. Tim Seifert looks to get on top of the bounce and flay it up and over the infield on the off side. The ball does not rise as much as the Kiwi expected it to. Tim hits it flat and straight to cover-point, where Glenn Phillips gobbles it up. KKR are 32/3.

Two big wickets for GT and problems are already rising for KKR early doors. The towering figure, and the man searching for runs, Cameron Green, walks in at number 4. It looks like his bat hasn't passed the gauge test, which is done by the on-field umpires. Green is waiting for another bat to be brought in. He finally receives the other one and it passes the test. All good to go.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi hangs back and opens the bat face, looking to run it down to deep third. The ball brushes the outside edge before going into the mitts of the keeper, Jos Buttler, who makes no mistake. With this, Buttler completes 300 T20 catches.

Mohammed Siraj To Ajinkya Rahane OUT!
OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND TAKEN! Siraj lands the first blow. Just before this ball, Simon Katich was praising Tim Seifert for the way he played the first few balls with the swing and very unlike Finn Allen, who has been dismissed while going across the line. Ajinkya Rahane goes the Allen way and pays the price. This is full, outside off. A bit of away movement. Rahane gets his hands out in front and swings hard at it. Cuts across the ball and slices it in the air towards mid on, where Kagiso Rabada settles under it and does the rest. A golden duck for the KKR captain.

Just a hint of away movement. At 134.2 kph, on a good length, around the off stump. Seifert covers the line and taps it to cover.
In all readiness to get going in Ahmedabad. The two umpires walk in, followed by the two KKR openers. Ajinkya Rahane and Tim Seifert walk to the crease. So, no Narine, who was tried and tested for the opener role against the Super Kings. The players of the Gujarat Titans scatter out of the team huddle and take their spots on the field now. It will be Mohammed Siraj to open the bowling attack for the Titans. So Siraj vs Seifert first up, with a slip in place. The countdown is done. Time to play...
Impact sub options for KKR - Manish Pandey, Finn Allen, Tejasvi Singh, Navdeep Saini and Varun Chakaravarthy.
Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI) - Ajinkya Rahane (C), Tim Seifert (WK) (In for Finn Allen), Cameron Green, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Rovman Powell, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Sunil Narine, Anukul Roy, Vaibhav Arora and Kartik Tyagi.
Impact sub options for GT - Jason Holder, Shahrukh Khan, Manav Suthar, Kulwant Khejroliya and Anuj Rawat.
Gujarat Titans (Unchanged Playing XI) - Shubman Gill (C), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (WK), Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Ashok Sharma, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna.
We want to keep things simple - The skipper of the Gujarat Titans, Shubman Gill says they were anyway looking to bowl first, with the reason being that the weather is getting hotter and there could be dew around. He believes rising temperatures could bring dew into play as the tournament progresses. Reflecting on that game against the Rajasthan Royals, Gill feels that but for the batting collapse, they should have won comfortably. Shubman emphasises that it is all about doing the simple things consistently as a group, adding that the more you try to complicate things, the harder it becomes. Informs that they are unchanged for this game.
T20 is all about momentum - The captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders, Ajinkya Rahane says the reason to bat first is that they just want to give their batters the freedom to go out and express themselves, admitting that it hasn't been a great tournament for them so far. Stresses that they don't want to depend too much on data favouring batting-first teams at this venue. Says T20 is a format which is all about momentum, and adds that you will be praised when you do well, otherwise, there will be criticisms. Informs that they are going with one change, with Tim Seifert coming in for Finn Allen.
TOSS - Time for the coin to go up in Ahmedabad. Shubman Gill and Ajinkya Rahane are present in the middle. Rahane calls it correctly. Kolkata Knight Riders elect to BAT first.
In case you missed it - Gujarat Titans' Tom Banton has been ruled out of the season with a finger injury. He has been replaced by South Africa’s 24-year-old batter Connor Esterhuizen, who made his international debut earlier this year in New Zealand. He impressed straight away in the T20I series, scoring 200 runs in 5 matches and earning the Player of the Series award.
Coach's word - GT's batting coach, Matthew Hayden, on being asked about what's been the key to back-to-back wins, says that they have just been playing decent cricket. Adds that the win against LSG in the game showed their true strength, especially in the batting department. From a batting standpoint, he calls the approach exceptional, describing it as situational rather than greedy batting, and says it was a very good victory. He hopes for another win tonight, and more importantly, at home. On playing a brand of cricket distinct from other teams, Hayden says it simply works. He adds that the frontrunners at the moment are the Punjab Kings, who go about their work in a very disciplined manner. He admits GT's approach may not please when it comes to Net Run Rate, but argues it makes a compelling case for sensible, smart cricket. He cites the conditions as the guide, noting the average winning first innings total here is 213 and the maximum successful run chase is 207. For him, it is all about how you deconstruct and construct your innings. He says GT have wonderful players at the top of the order and some underrated players in the middle, calling these good problems to have. On missing commentary, Hayden jokes that while the commentary box does not serve coconut water, they are getting it pitchside.
A quick chat with KKR's young gun - Angkrish Raghuvanshi says that every conversation within the group has been about what they can improve and how they can get better. He adds that everyone has been working really hard and remains hopeful that things will turn around soon. Raghuvanshi stresses the importance of keeping things simple - watching the ball and playing it as well as he can, regardless of the position he bats in. On wicketkeeping, he admits it is tough but says he is enjoying the challenge, especially as it is his first time keeping this season. When asked about the key to winning tonight, Angkrish emphasises the need to get the basics right and execute their plans. On whether there are any specific plans, he keeps his cards close to his chest, saying that it is something they will reveal out on the field tonight.
PITCH REPORT - Daren Ganga and Simon Katich are pitchside in Ahmedabad, assessing the conditions. Daren begins by noting that since the 2025 season, the Narendra Modi Stadium has been one of those venues where the bat-first win percentage is 80, which is the highest (among venues hosting five IPL matches or more during this period). The reason, he points out that it is because of the boundary dimensions, which are bigger as compared to other venues. Informs that the square boundaries for this game are equidistant at 66 meters, with the straight boundary being 72 meters. Katich joins him and calls it a great batting surface. He notes that since 2025, the average first-inning score is 215 in Ahmedabad. Digging deeper, he observes that there is not much movement for the new ball in the second innings, particularly during the Powerplay. He suggests two possible reasons for this trend - good old-fashioned scoreboard pressure, or the sheer volume of success teams have enjoyed batting first at this ground. Katich adds that pacers can expect a good amount of pace and bounce on this surface, with very minimal assistance for the spinners, despite the day temperature hovering around 40 degrees. He notes that the pitch is not as dry as one might expect, pointing to a nice tinge of green grass and a bit of moisture on the surface. Ends by confidently saying that a lot of runs will be scored tonight, to which Ganga also agrees.
Time for a change? For the Knight Riders, Finn Allen came into the IPL on the back of a successful BBL and an impressive T20 World Cup, but has yet to make the kind of impact he is known for. That raises a few questions around their top order. Do they persist with Allen, or turn to Tim Seifert, who has been on the bench so far? And what about the opening combination? Will Sunil Narine be pushed up the order again after opening against CSK? After all, he strikes at 175.14 as an opener in the IPL, with 6 fifties and 1 hundred.
Form found at the right time - There were questions around a couple of GT's overseas stars, but those doubts have quickly faded. After struggling for runs at the T20 World Cup, Jos Buttler has rediscovered his touch in the IPL, which has augured well for the Titans. Apart from Buttler, Rashid Khan has also come into his own after what had been a relatively quiet period in this format over the last few months. He will be confident heading into this game, especially given his record against KKR - 19 wickets in 16 innings at an economy of 7.18.
Greetings, all! We are in Ahmedabad, where the Gujarat Titans are all set to host the Kolkata Knight Riders. One side is still searching for its first win, while the other is eyeing a hat-trick of victories. The head-to-head reads 3-1 in GT's favour, with KKR's only win coming in extraordinary fashion back in 2023 at this very venue. Chasing 29 off the final over, they had no business winning that game before Rinku Singh pulled off a miraculous heist by smashing 5 sixes in a row.
... MATCH DAY ...
Contrasting trajectories collide - Match 25 of the Indian Premier League 2026 brings together two sides with contrasting identities but equally high ambitions as Gujarat Titans take on Kolkata Knight Riders in Ahmedabad. With the tournament approaching its middle phase, this contest could have significant implications on the points table, especially with both teams eyeing momentum heading into the business end. While the Titans have found their rhythm with two consecutive wins to climb to sixth place, KKR is desperate for a turnaround, currently sitting at the bottom of the table after four losses and a washout. Historically, GT holds the upper hand with a 3-1 lead in their head-to-head encounters, making them the clear favorites heading into this clash. Eyeing up a hat-trick of wins - The Titans are currently on a roll after picking up back-to-back wins against the likes of DC and LSG. Gujarat's batting looks formidable with the trio of Jos Buttler, Shubman Gill, and Sai Sudharsan firing at the top. Buttler has been in exceptional form, racking up 176 runs in just 4 games, while Gill follows closely with 165. Their recent win against LSG, powered by Prasidh Krishna’s 4-wicket haul and Gill’s composed fifty, suggests a team that is finding its rhythm. However, a slight vulnerability in the middle order remains an area KKR might look to exploit. What truly sets Gujarat apart, however, is their bowling depth. The presence of world-class operators like Rashid Khan gives them a trump card in the middle overs, where he not only controls the run flow but also breaks partnerships. Alongside him, the pace unit, featuring the likes of Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada and Prasidh Krishna, offers new-ball penetration and death-over precision. Their ability to defend totals and choke oppositions under pressure makes them one of the most tactically sound teams in the league. Win or bust for KKR - It’s been a nightmare start for the three-time champions. Despite having explosive talents like Sunil Narine, Cameron Green, and Rinku Singh, the team has failed to click as a unit. Their pace department, in the absence of the frontline seamers and led by Vaibhav Arora, has been expensive, and the batting lineup lacks a settled feel. Captain Ajinkya Rahane faces a monumental task to inspire a squad that is yet to open its account in the 2026 season. The pressure is mounting and the Knights need to deliver a comprehensive team effort, which has been lacking. They do have the likes of Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who are in form with the bat, but someone like Finn Allen needs to spend more time at the top and the likes of Cameron Green and Rinku Singh both need to fire in order to give some cushion to their pace attack. What to expect from the conditions? The Narendra Modi Stadium typically offers a batting-friendly surface with an average first-innings score of 178. The track is expected to be flat and consistent early on, favoring stroke makers. However, history suggests the pitch slows down as the match progresses, allowing spinners like Rashid Khan and Varun Chakravarthy to become decisive factors in the second half of the innings. Form (Las 5 completed IPL matches, recent first) - GT - WWLLL | KKR - LLLLL. Predictions?On paper, this should be a game that captivates the fans but given the current form, hosts Gujarat Titans do start as favorites. However, Kolkata Knight Riders have some special memories of this venue, especially when Rinku Singh struck those five sixes in the final over to take KKR over the line in one of the all-time steals of the tournament and KKR might also be bolstered by the presence of Matheesha Pathirana. GT's top-order and their bowling attack once again will be crucial but their middle order does need to start firing if the Titans are to transform themselves into a serious title contender. Who do you think will come out on top?
