In the last five KKR vs GT head-to-head fixtures of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Gujarat Titans, the latter is ahead with a 2-1 margin. One game ended in a draw between the two sides.
They will face each other on April 21, 2025, at the Eden Gardens. The home side is looking to forget its nightmarish batting performance against the Punjab Kings.
Both sides have a different story inside the powerplay, the first six overs, in the batting department. The Knight Riders have managed 382 runs in seven innings at an average of nearly 34.73 and a strike rate of 151.59, scoring 36 boundaries and 28 sixes at the best score of 90.
Going into the KKR vs GT clash, Gujarat has clubbed 313 runs in six innings at an average of 62.60 and a strike rate of 144.91, thanks to 29 boundaries and 14 sixes at the best score of 66.
The Titans have lost just five wickets in the period, which is the lowest of all the ten franchises. Both Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan tend to keep wickets in hand for the post-powerplay zone, and that helps them to get the firepower towards the end of the innings.

On the other hand, Kolkata has struggled with its opening partnership. Quinton de Kock hasn’t contributed at all with the bat in the opening positions, while the teams have started to find ways to dismiss Sunil Narine. They may bring Rahmanullah Gurbaz into the team for the KKR vs GT fixture.
