Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 39th match of IPL 2025 on April 21 (Monday). The defending champions are coming off a shocking loss to Punjab Kings, where they were bowled out for just 95 runs while chasing a modest target of 112—the lowest successfully defended total in IPL history.
KKR looked to be in a comfortable position at 62/2, but a dramatic batting collapse—sparked by excellent spells from Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, and Marco Jansen—completely turned the match. The defeat exposed KKR’s ongoing struggle with maintaining consistency, especially within their middle-order batting lineup.
