GT Vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2026: Siraj Strikes First Ball As Ajinkya Rahane Falls For Golden Duck

Oh wow, early drama and it’s a massive one!

Ajinkya Rahane barely had time to settle, and he’s already on his way back! First ball, a probing fuller delivery just outside off from Mohammed Siraj, and Rahane goes poking at it, no real conviction, just a tentative push… and up it goes!

Hanging in the Ahmedabad night sky for what feels like forever before mid-on settles under it and completes a straightforward catch. Gone for a golden duck.

What a start for Gujarat Titans, Siraj is fired up, teammates swarm him, and Kolkata Knight Riders are rocked right away.

Here we go, game on in Ahmedabad! The noise builds as Kolkata Knight Riders send out Tim Seifert and Ajinkya Rahane to kick things off. Seifert takes first strike, a quick look around, a tap of the bat, he’s ready.

From the other end, it’s Mohammed Siraj with the new ball, charging in with that familiar intensity. Field set, energy high, first over coming up, and you can already feel there’s something brewing.

Shubman Gill: We wanted to bowl first, to be honest. There might be some dew around. Out batting collapsed in the middle in the last match. It should have been a comfortable chase otherwise. It's all about doing the simple things right. That always we talk about in team meetings. We are playing with the same team.

Ajinkya Rahane: Looking to bat first, want our batters to bat freely. We just want to turn it around, so batting first is a good option. If you are doing well, people will take well, otherwise they will critise. T20 format is all about momentum. One change, Seifert comes in for Allen.

Kolkata Knight Riders have won the toss and have opted to bat.
