GT Team News & Playing 11

GT Team News

Hardik Pandya likes to keep things simple at Gujarat Titans and we do not expect him to make changes just for the sake of doing so. He is far more likely to select an unchanged XI once more and look to build up the confidence of his team-mates in this game.

GT Key Players

Shubman Gill- although the right-handed opener made only 14 in the last match, he still caught the eye with some brilliantly time strokes.
Alzarri Joseph- the West Indian pace bowler is a regular wicket taker across all formats and has already got four wickets in the IPL 2023.
Rashid Khan- the Afghanistan leg-spinner was too good for Delhi Capitals’ middle order and picked up the wickets of Sarfaraz Khan, Amam Hakim Khan and Abishke Porel.

GT Possible Impact Player Substitutes

Josh Little, Jayant Yadav, Srikar Bharat, R Sai Kishore

Little has been selected for both games so far but may have to settle for an impact role on this batter-friendly pitch. Yadav is a consistent bowler who could be brought in if the pitch is slowing a little.

GT Team Form

Gujarat Titans have carried their strong form from the 2022 IPL into this campaign. They are looking to make it three wins from three games in the 2023 IPL in this match.

GT Predicted Playing 11

Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Hardik Pandya (c), Vijary Shankar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Mohammed Shami.

KKR Team News & Playing 11

KKR Team News

After beating Royal Challengers Bangalore by 81 runs on Thursday, confidence will be high in the Kolkata Knight Riders’ camp but we still expect to see at least one change. England’s Jason Roy has been signed as a replacement for Shreyas Iyer and Shakib Al Hasan and we predict he will be at the top of the order for this game.

KKR Key Players

Rahmanulah Gurbaz- the Afghanistan keeper-batter was in strong form at the top of the order against Royal Challengers Bangalore hitting six fours and three sixes.
Shardul Thakur- the Indian international all-rounder took the Player of the Match Award in the last game after hitting 68 runs from 29 balls and taking 1-15 with the ball.
Varun Chakravarthy- the leg-spinner has already taken five wickets in the 2023 IPL and dismissed Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, Harshal Patel and Akash Deep on Thursday.

KKR Possible Impact Player Substitutes

Tim Southee, David Wiese, Suyash Sharma, Mandeep Singh

We expect Tim Southee to be left out of the team but he could well be a very useful impact player in this game. David Wiese could come in during their batting innings or in the field such is his talent.

KKR Team Form

Kolkata Knight Riders may have won by a large margin in their last match but they were over-reliant on two big innings with the bat and there are still concerns over their batting,

KKR Predicted Playing 11

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Jason Roy, Vekatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana (c), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Shradul Thakur, Sunil Narine, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, Suyash Sharma

GT vs KKR Head to Head

Who will win Gujarat Titans vs Kolkata Knight Riders T20 Match?

Kolkata Knight Riders may not have the same number of international stars as Gujarat Titans but they have extremely effective players to call on. However, Gujarat Titans have looked like the stronger side in the tournament so far.

GT vs KKR Top Team Batsmen

Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill and David Miller are our batting choices for Gujarat Titans. Sudharsan took the Player of the Match Award against Delhi Capitals after hitting 62 not out from 48 balls. Miller finished off Match 7 with an impressive 31 not out from 16 balls.

For Kolkata Knight Riders, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Jason Roy and Rinku Singh are our batting tips. Singh impressed against Royal Challengers Bangalore by striking 46 runs from 33 balls. Roy has a top IPL score of 91 not out and will be making his debut for Kolkata Knight Riders in this match.

GT vs KKR Top Team Bowlers

We recommend Rashid Khan, Mohammed Shami and Alzarri Joseph are our bowling picks. Shami has had a great start to the tournament with figures of 2-29 and 3-41. Khan will be looking forward to bowling on this pitch which is expected to offer something for the spinners.

Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine and Suyash Sharma are our bowling selections for Kolkata Knight Riders. 19 year old leg-spinner Sharma took 3-30 on his IPL debut against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last game. Narine has taken 155 wickets in the IPL.

GT vs KKR Prediction

No team has been able to stop Gujarat Titans as yet in the 2023 IPL and it will require another top performance from Kolkata Knight Riders if they are to beat the Titans in this match. Gujarat Titans have a strong batting line-up but it is their bowling which is particularly impressive. We are expecting a comfortable victory for Gujarat Tituns in this Sunday afternoon game.
