TEAM NEWS
Kolkata Knight Riders: Bowling has been their weak link in the past three games. Umesh Yadav and Pat Cummins both will be looking for a comeback. Meanwhile, Varun Chakravarthy, who has looked off colour this season barring two games, needs to put a better performance. On the batting front, Aaron Finch, Nitish Rana and Shreyas Iyer have been in good form, but Venkatesh Iyer and Sheldon Jackson need to do better. Sunil Narine as always has been good with the ball, however, KKR would be hoping a similar performance from him with the bat too.
Gujarat Titans: The side has ticked all the boxes so far. Regular skipper Hardik Pandya missed the side’s previous game that was against Chennai Super Kings, but his absence was never felt as they cruised to a thrilling 3-wicket win. While David Miller was sensational in the previous game, all-rounder Rashid Khan was extremely impressive with the bat too. It is their openers who would need to do better.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Both Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans will be playing against each other for the first time in IPL as GT have joined the cash-rich tournament this year itself.
VENUE AND PITCH
KKR and GT play their IPL 2022 match at DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai. The pitch offers good amount of help to the bowlers. That’s the reason that in the last four games, teams batting first have won twice and the teams batting second have won as many games.
