IPL 2022: Picks for the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans

 

Kolkata Knight Riders will go head to head against table-toppers Gujarat Titans in the 35th match of the Indian Premier League at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai on Saturday. KKR are in need of a win as they have lost their last three matches whereas Gujarat Titans have gone from strength to strength in their maiden season of the IPL.

We take a look at Picks for the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans. We will look at head-to-head records, stats, and players to look out for in the upcoming match.

Current form for KKR: W W L L L

KKR had got off to a good start in the ongoing season as they had won three out of their first four matches. But they have veered off the track in the last three matches. Their bowling unit hasn’t been able to stem the flow of runs except for Sunil Narine and the batting hasn’t been consistent apart from one or two batters.

Current form for GT: W W L W W

Gujarat Titans have ticked the right boxes as a unit and they would look to continue the good show. The Hardik Pandya-led currently has the best record so far in the ongoing season. Despite missing the services of Hardik Pandya in their last game, they were able to get over the line against CSK.

Head to Head: This will be the first time when these two teams will take on each other in the IPL.

Players to look out for: Shreyas Iyer, Varun Chakravarthy, Umesh Yadav, Sunil Narine, and Andre Russell will be the crucial players for KKR.

Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, Mohammed Shami, Rashid Khan, and Lockie Ferguson will hold the key for GT.

Kolkata Knight Riders Probable Playing XI: Aaron Finch, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Sheldon Jackson (wk), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shivam Mavi, Pat Cummins, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy.

Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya, Abhinav Manohar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Shami, Lockie Ferguson, Yash Dayal.
