Gujarat Titans face Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2026 Match 25, with GT in strong form and KKR struggling, as head-to-head stats and conditions favour Titans
Summary
Gujarat Titans will host Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 25 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, with both teams entering the contest in contrasting form. GT, led by Shubman Gill, have bounced back strongly after an inconsistent start and now carry momentum with back-to-back wins.
Their batting unit looks settled, with Gill and Jos Buttler providing solidity at the top, while Prasidh Krishna has emerged as a key wicket-taker, leading the bowling attack with consistency.
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders are under immense pressure, having endured a winless start to the season. Sitting at the bottom of the table with just one point, KKR have struggled with both team balance and execution.
The batting order has lacked clarity, and big-money signing Cameron Green has yet to deliver consistently, leaving skipper Ajinkya Rahane heavily reliant on individual performances rather than a collective effort.
The Ahmedabad pitch is expected to favour batters, offering true bounce and good carry, which should result in another high-scoring encounter. However, as the game progresses, the surface may slow down slightly, bringing spinners like Rashid Khan and Varun Chakravarthy into play.
With GT holding a dominant 3-1 head-to-head record and superior form, they enter as favourites, but KKR’s desperation could make this a tightly contested clash.
