KKR vs GT Head-To-Head
Both teams have faced each other twice in the history of the tournament. The record currently stands at one match apiece. The last encounter at Eden Gardens was nail biting contest with Rinku Singh playing a special knock to take the team to victory. Titans batting first posted 204/4 in their allotted 20 overs. Vijay Shankar scored an unbeaten 63 runs, while Sai Sudarshan also played a handy knock of 53 runs. Sunil Narine was the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets.
Chasing 205 runs for victory, KKR looked down and out at 155/7 despite Venkatesh Iyer’s handy knock of 83runs. With 29 needed of 6 balls, Rinku Singh stepped up and smashed 31 runs of Titans bowler Yash Dayal to take the team past the finish line. The left arm pacer also registers 2nd worst bowling figure in IPL conceding 69 runs from 4 overs. Having lost the match from winning position, Titans will look to avoid repeating the same mistakes at Eden Gardens.
Gujarat Titans have recovered well, post Rinku Singh’s mayhem in Ahmedabad. The defending champions have won their last two matches. Kolkata on the other hand hasn’t been able to build on to the momentum, and has now lost four straight matches.
While Gujarat looks a more settled and in-form team going into the contest, Kolkata will bank on one more miracle to get them back to winning ways in IPL 2023. The match is expected to be a cracking contest.
