The Gujarat Titans are all set to face the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 63rd game of IPL 2024, which is slated to take place on May 13 at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. Notably, Shreyas Iyer-led KKR had a great outing, as they already made it to the playoffs with nine wins from 12 matches.
However, the Titans seem to be a little miserly this year, placing them in the eighth spot with just five wins under their belt. In addition, the Shubman Gill-led side still has the full chance to win the next game to keep their hope alive for the playoff race. In the same vein, let’s analyse the top three battles to watch out for in the clash.
1. Andre Russell vs. Rashid Khan
West Indies star cricketer Andre Russell seems to be in magnificent form this year for the KKR and has played a huge role in guiding his side to the playoffs. However, the great all-rounder is once again expected to do wonders against GT bowlers in the next game.
Meanwhile, GT star spinner Rashid Khan is the one who dismissed him around four times in the T20I format, and he will once again be looking to dismantle him in the next game.
2. Shubman Gill vs. Sunil Narine
GT skipper Shubman Gill seems to be in great form in the current season, as he recently hammered the ton against defending champions CSK in the last game. Notably, the stylish right-handed batter will once again be looking to score runs in the next game against KKR.
On the other hand, KKR all-rounder Sunil Narine has dismissed him twice in 12 deliveries. However, Narine will be looking to remove him to give his side an early break.
3. Shreyas Iyer vs. Kartik Tyagi
KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer hasn’t been in great form this year with the bat, but his tactical captaincy places his side at the top of the points table. Meanwhile, GT had used Kartik Tyagi as an impact player, and he is the one who has dismissed him once when both sides faced earlier.
In addition, Iyer seems to be struggling with the bat against Tyagi.
