Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will host Gujarat Titans (GT) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday in Match 39 of IPL 2025. KKR, the defending champions, have struggled this season and currently sit sixth with three wins from seven games. Their recent batting collapse against Punjab Kings, where they were bowled out for 95, has exposed vulnerabilities that they must address at home. Led by Ajinkya Rahane, KKR will rely on key players like Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine to bounce back.
In contrast, Gujarat Titans are in excellent form, topping the points table with five wins from seven matches. Their recent successful chase of 204 against Delhi Capitals, powered by Jos Buttler’s unbeaten 97, highlights their strong batting lineup. The Titans’ balanced bowling attack, featuring Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj, complements their batting prowess.
