Gujarat Breaks Into the IPL Top Four with Five-Wicket Win over Winless Kolkata

Gill’s 86 off 50 powered Gujarat’s chase as Kolkata lost five of six and remained winless in IPL 2026.

  • On Friday, Gujarat Titans return to Narendra Modi Stadium to face the winless Kolkata Knight Riders in an Indian Premier League clash. Titans enter with momentum from back-to-back away wins.
  • Back-to-Back away wins have solidified Titans, with Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler providing strong starts at the top. The Afghan leg-spinner Rashid Khan adds crucial balance to the bowling attack.
  • Injuries and an unsettled combination have hamstrung the Kolkata Knight Riders, led by Ajinkya Rahane. With Matheesha Pathirana unavailable, the team relies on Kartik Tyagi, Varun Chakaravarthy, and Sunil Narine.
  • Cameron Green looks to justify his hefty price tag with a match-defining contribution for KKR. The team aims to rediscover its spin chokehold to counter the hosts' dominant top order.
  • Titans arrive with wind in their sails, while Kolkata Knight Riders finds itself searching for direction. Success for the visitors hinges on disrupting an opponent that currently looks well-balanced.
