GT Vs KKR Match Facts, IPL 2026: All You Need To Know About Match 25 Today; Check Head-To-Head Stats

Gujarat Titans will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 25 of IPL 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, with the two sides heading into the clash in completely contrasting form. GT, led by Shubman Gill, have regained momentum after a shaky start, winning back-to-back matches and looking increasingly settled as a unit.

Their recent win over Lucknow Super Giants, powered by half-centuries from Gill and Jos Buttler alongside Prasidh Krishna’s match-winning spell, has positioned them as strong contenders at home.

In contrast, Kolkata Knight Riders are enduring a nightmare start to the season, sitting at the bottom of the table without a single win in five matches. The Ajinkya Rahane-led side has struggled with both balance and consistency, particularly in the batting department where frequent reshuffles and lack of reliable spin-hitters have hurt them badly.

Despite some individual performances from players like Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Rahane, the team has failed to click collectively, making this clash a crucial turning point in their campaign.

The conditions in Ahmedabad are expected to offer a balanced contest, with a batting-friendly surface early on before slowing down as the match progresses. This could bring spinners like Rashid Khan and Varun Chakravarthy into play in the middle overs.

Historically, GT have dominated this matchup, winning three out of four encounters against KKR, further strengthening their position as favourites. However, with pressure mounting, KKR will be desperate to break their losing streak, setting up an intriguing battle between form and desperation.
