GT Team News & Playing 11
GT Team News
Wriddhiman Saha missed the last match for Gujarat Titans due to a slight niggle and we expect him to not be fit for this game against KKR. Kartik Tyagi came in for his debut in the win over CSK and he is expected to be in the XI once more for this match.
GT Key Players
- Shubman Gill- the captain has hit 426 runs so far this season with three scores of 50+ including his century in the win during the last game.
- Sai Sudharsan- the left-handed batter is Gujarat Titans’ leading run scorer during the 2024 IPL and is averaging 47.91 from 12 innings.
- Mohit Sharma- the pace bowler dismissed Daryl Mitchell, Moeen Ali and Shivam Dube against CSK. He will be looking to pick up key wickets again in this game.
- Rashid Khan- the Afghan bowling all-rounder picked up two wickets within three balls in the last match. He is likely to enjoy a strong economy rate in this clash.
GT Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Abhinav Manohar, Sandeep Warrier, BR Sharath, Darshan Nalkande, Jayant Yada
As we have seen throughout the tournament, we expect to see Sai Sudharsan dropping out of the side during the batting innings with Sandeep Warrier coming into the side for the bowling innings.

Gujarat Titans had lost three games in a row before their win over CSK in their last match.

KKR Team News & Playing 11
KKR Team News
There was only one change for KKR ahead of their last fixture with Nitish Rana coming back into the team at the expense of Angkrish Raghuvanshi. With their place confirmed in the play-offs, KKR could choose to rest some players in this game.
KKR Key Players
- Sunil Narine- the 35 year old has had a fine tournament and has batted in over 500 T20 games in his career scoring over 11500 runs.
- Phil Salt- the English keeper-batter always looks to attack from the first ball of his ininngs and this game will be no different. So far he has scored 435 runs in IPL 2024.
- Varun Chakravarthy- the spinner has been very good across the last two IPL competitions. He dimissed Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya against Mumbai Indians.
- Andre Russell- the all-rounder took 2/34 from three overs in the last game after scoring 24 runs from 14 balls. The Gujarat bowlers will be wary of bowling to him due to his form with the bat.
KKR Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Anukul Roy, Srikar Bharat, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Suyash Sharma
Nitish Rana came out of the team for the bowling innings with Vaibhav Arora coming into the side. We expect the same switch of players in this clash.

Without some key players from their recent campaign, Gujarat Titans have not been so strong this year. We expect KKR to be the top side in this fixture.
🏆 GT vs KKR Prediction
After winning their last match, Gujarat Titans still have a chance to finish in the top four places during this year’s IPL. However, in order to do so, they will need to beat top of the table KKR in this game. We are predicting that KKR will be too strong with both bat and ball in this fixture so we are backing them to win.
