Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 39th match of IPL 2025, to be played at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 21.
Here are the three battles to watch out for in today’s KKR vs GT clash in the IPL 2025
Ajinkya Rahane vs Mohammad Siraj
Rahane, the captain of KKR, is having a great IPL so far and has played several impactful innings. He has scored 221 runs from seven matches at an average of 36.83 and a strike rate of 148.32, including two fifties. However, he has a poor record against Siraj, having faced 24 balls from him and scored only 12 runs, with one dismissal — a strike rate of just 50.00 in IPL. This battle could be crucial in determining the course of the match.
Jos Buttler vs Sunil Narine
Buttler’s form in this IPL is impressive, with 315 runs from seven matches at an average of 63 and a strike rate of 164.06. Narine, on the other hand, has taken seven wickets from six matches and has been economical against Buttler in past IPL encounters. In 57 balls faced from Narine, Buttler has scored only 61 runs and has been dismissed once in the IPL. This battle could be a game-changer.
Andre Russell vs Rashid Khan
Russell, who is having a poor season so far, will be up against Rashid Khan, a bowler who has consistently troubled him. In previous encounters, Russell has scored only 24 runs from 22 balls bowled by Rashid and has been dismissed three times in the IPL. It will be interesting to see if Russell can turn the numbers in his favour this time.
