KKR vs GT, IPL 2025: Both teams just going through the motions at the end there. A couple of nice hits from Angkrish Raghuvanshi but far, far too late to cause any real damage.

GT go to 12 points and extend their lead at the top of the table, keeping their NRR healthy. A lot left to do for KKR in the remainder of their season, and a lot of questions to answer.

KKR vs GT, IPL 2025: The Purple Cap leader continues to build! First it's Ramandeep, as he smashes it right back at Prasidh, who manages to hold on to the hotshot. Complete nonchalance is his reaction. Two balls later, a slower ball flummoxes Moeen Ali, who chips it straight to long-on.

119-7 now, this could be an ugly loss for KKR at home.

KKR vs GT, IPL 2025: Russell looked all at see against Rashid, and sensing blood in the water, Rashid has capitalised. The fourth time in 9 IPL innings that he has dismissed the big Jamaican.

118-5 now, 81 needed in 25.

KKR vs GT, IPL 2025: Even with Russell and Rinku at the crease, you have to think GT have done enough to seal the win. This is a team that has seen the Rinku Singh Special, though, and will know not to write KKR off. But sixes needed every over.

KKR vs GT, IPL 2025: GT all over KKR at the moment, as Washington sees Rahane walking at him and floats it wide of off stump. Good stumping by Jos Buttler.

108 needed off 55, but Andre Russell to the crease.

KKR vs GT, IPL 2025: Venkatesh Iyer with a pretty turgid innings that KKR won't be happy with at all. A 14(19) that sucked all the momentum out of this chase, and it's all left to do. Tries to slog Sai Kishore, can't evade deep midwicket.

Rinku Singh in, and he needs to get going immediately.

KKR vs GT, IPL 2025: First boundary in 35 deliveries, and a six a couple of balls after that. Rahane starting to see the need for urgency, but he needs help from Venkatesh Iyer. Iyer struggling on 12*(17).

KKR vs GT, IPL 2025: 131 needed off the back half of this innings. They have a lot of power in the tank, but KKR is flatlining with this partnership right now. No boundaries for a good long while. Time to hit out or get out for one of this duo.

KKR vs GT, IPL 2025: GT have dragged it back supremely well after that Narine wicket, and the required rate has mounted up to over 12 already.

53-2 after 8, KKR need runs quickly.

KKR vs GT, IPL 2025: Wicket out of nothing! Rashid on, and he's still struggling. This ball is a half-tracker, pulled by Narine but with no elevation. Backward square leg inside the circle, and straight to him.

Big for Rashid's confidence, big wicket.

KKR vs GT, IPL 2025: Sunil Narine finding his range 4 overs in. First gets a juicy fulltoss that he swings away nicely, and then just backs away and plays a remarkable backfoot punch that flies over cover all the way. What a shot that is.

42-1 after 5.

KKR vs GT, IPL 2025: The odd boundary here and there but not much rotation of strike. Rahane once again looking good.

Prasidh Krishna on to try and get another early wicket.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Gurbaz lucky on his second ball not to chop on, but it doesn't last long. Caught right in front by Siraj, and he burns a review too. GT on fire, the replacement doesn't work.

2-1.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: So here we go with the chase! Mohammed Siraj unsurprisingly with the first over, to Rahmanullah Gurbaz. KKR will be looking for a big start.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: 18 off that final Vaibhav over, a couple of boundaries from Buttler and a big six from Shahrukh off a juicy full toss.

199 the target, a daunting one at that on a pitch that definitely has something for the bowlers. Sai Sudharshan receives that Orange Cap again, and we will be back soon for the home team's chase.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Tewatia doesn't last long, out for a two-ball duck. It's not a great delivery, but Tewatia is always just stretching for a wide half-volley from Harshit. Easy catch at deep extra-cover.

Buttler will want most of the strike from here.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Anticlimactic for Gill! Two delciously hit boundaries to reach 90, and then gets a knee-high full toss. He hits it well, but right to Rinku Singh at deep midwicket. The catching is good this time, low and fast at him but Rinku grabs on.

Great innings from Gill, 90(55), now 172-2 with 2.1 overs left.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Well set and with the license to hunt for boundaries now. Gill with a handful of boundaries against the spinners and he's suddenly on 79*(49). 200+ in their eyes now with powerful batters still to come.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Buttler giving chances here as he looks to attack. Tries to loft Chakravarthy over cover, but just slices it. Always just out of range for Manish Pandey, who does well to cover the ground but is always moving forward, ultimately having to put in a dive. Can't quite hold on.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Fast start from Buttler, knows he has the license to go for it today. A couple of scoops for boundaries, but he nearly throws it away as he pops it into the air. Vaibhav Arora running back to try and catch it, but is never set, and he fumbles it! Make matters worse, runs away for another four.

KKR shooting themselves in the foot.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Crucial wicket for KKR! These two were going strong, and Russell's introduction does the trick. Gets one to just climb up a touch, and Sudharsan feathers it through to Gurbaz.

114-1 after 12.2 overs. No respite - Jos Buttler in, and starts with a 4.

KKR vs GT IPL Live Score 2025, Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans: These two are so adept at picking the gaps even when the field is set. 79-0 after 9, breakthrough integral, and one must bring two, you feel.

KKR vs GT IPL Live Score 2025, Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill takes the charge against Moeen! The first six over midwkicket after stepping out, and couple more boundaries right after that. Important rate-upping over.

KKR vs GT IPL Live Score 2025, Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans: not all-guns-blazing by any means, but these two quickly and quietly putting on another strong partnership, matching each other's pace thus far. Spinners in operation.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Sudharsan picking up where he left off. Just feels impossible to crack his defence early in the innings. A lovely cover drive for four, smooth as you like.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Just like that, Sudharsan back with the orange cap with a gentle nudge for one. Next ball he faces, easily controlled through the offside gap against Moeen for four.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Vaibhav keeping it tight. Only concedes four off the first, a wide and three singles.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: One of the most intimidating sights in this IPL, two openers bang in form. Sudharsan to take strike and Gill opposite him. Vaibhav Arora with the new pill.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: QDK axed from the team after a string of disastrous performances. Nortje also sacrificed to bring in Moeen, extra spin and extra bat.

KKR playing XI: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Moeen Ali, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakravarthy

Bench: Manish Pandey, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Anukul Roy, Rovman Powell, Luvnith Sisodia

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Washington Sundar back in for GT to offer an extra spin option.

GT's playing XI: Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Jos Buttler, Sherfane Rutherford, Washington Sundar, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Sai Kishore, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj

Bench: Ishant Sharma, Karim Janat, Mahipal Lomror, Anuj Rawat, Arshad Khan

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Ajinkya Rahane wins the toss to the great pleasure of the Eden Gardens crowd, and opts to chase, but a couple of big decisions from them. Quinton de Kock sees himself dropped after a strange start, Rahmanullah Gurbaz coming in, and Moeen Ali to boost the batting and spin as well.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Another issue for KKR has been an inability to settle on an overseas combination, with Spencer Johnson, Moeen Ali, and latest Anrich Nortje shuttling in and out of that fourth overseas player role. Today, do they want to extra batting boost of Moeen, the seam of Nortje, or the leftyness of Johnson to target Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan early?

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Not too far away from the toss in Kolkata now. A brief weather report: it's expected to be pretty warm for most of the evening, around 35 degrees at start, and humidity above 75% for much of the night. As sticky as can get.

The pitch itself is expected to be high-scoring and pretty flat, with the team defending winning twice in three matches in IPL 2025 so far. Nevertheless, teams do prefer to chase at this venue, and it will likely be more of the same for two teams whose strengths lie in that department.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Questions have begun to emerge about whether Rashid Khan is just going through an extended rough patch, or if he is just in decline after close to a decade of top-level cricket. He doesn't have the same zip and persistent ability to hit a spot that he used to, nor the same bravado and confidence that had the ability to elevate his game even further. The latter just comes with momentum from performances, but Rashid is struggling to find that.

He was used as GT's sole spinner against DC, with Sai Kishore only bowling a solitary over. Is it time for a role shift in which Rashid plays more of a supporting role, until he can find his best again with rhythm? A head-scratcher for analysts and GT management.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Fresh off a four-fer where he snapped up KL Rahul, Axar Patel and Karun Nair, Prasidh Krishna has hit a real peak int erms of his performances. He is looking fast, accurate, and nearly impossible to deal with, consistently hitting that back-of-a-length mark that with his height and tall action has gotten 14 different batters in a tangle and out.

Now with the Purple Cap and supported remarkably well by Mohammed Siraj and Sai Kishore, Prasidh goes back to an old hunting ground, and will be trying to leave a mark of his own. He knows all about Eden Gardens from his years in Kolkata, and given the bowling form he is in, is one the KKR batters will need to be very wary of.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: KKR won't be competitive until their batting really comes to the party. Sunil Narine has always been a hit-or-miss opener, but with Quinton de Kock having no scores of substance outside his 97*, KKR have had poor starts across most of their games. Captain Rahane has led from the front with a few solid performances, but he hasn't been able to inspire the same from the batters around him.

Players such as Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, and Andre Russell really need to step up and carry some of the burden, with KKR really not doing the heavy lifting that will allow them to find those consistent wins. If they continue to fail at that, a bowling unit the quality of GT’s will have very little trouble.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: By the same measure, attacking and putting this GT big three under pressure is the name of the game for KKR. Thankfully for them, they know they have the resources to turn to, with 8 overs of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy up Ajinkya Rahane's sleeves.

While all three of these batters are very confident agaisnt spin, they aren't necessarily the fastest scorers agaisnt the wicket-taking ones. Can KKR take advantage of that by piling the pressure on through the middle?

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: In seven matches thus far, there hasn't been a single game in which at least one of Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, or Jos Buttler haven't fired. Buttler was on it with a masterful 97* against a great bowling attack last time out, while Sai Sudharsan continues to fight for the Orange Cap.

This trio is essential to GT's hopes of success, but there is such quality and reliability across them that GT have found it to be a pretty safe bet to expect production out of them thus far. Can KKR challenge the middle order a touch more?

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: KKR have had nearly an entire week to stew in their disappointment of losing to Punjab Kings after failing to chase down 112, the record lowest total defended in IPL history. Usually players want to get back out there as soon as possible after such a loss, but KKR didn't have that luxury.

What would the mood have been like in the KKR camp in the following week? What are the things they would have tried to figure out to set their campaign back on track? There are more questions than answers at the minute, and that needs to change quickly.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: GT ran into their toughest competitors in this IPL season so far, as DC visisted Ahmedabad. It was a clinical and impressive performance across the board from GT to pull off the win in the last over, helped largely by Prasidh Krishna's 4-fer and Jos Buttler's 97*. However, it was the all-round gameplan coming to fruition that would have been the biggest tick mark for the GT team, as they always stayed one step ahead of DC on a tactical standpoint.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: It's certainly been a while. These two teams look very different to what they did in 2023, as is to be expected. Two years go to the week, GT chased down a target of 180 at Eden Gardens, a Rahmanullah Gurbaz 81(39) not being enough. Three wickets for Mohammed Shami and a quickfire half-century for Vijay Shankar helped Gujarat to a win inside 18 overs.

Can't read too much into it, this is back when Hardik Pandya and Nitish Rana were captaining the two teams. They start fresh.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Since GT's inception in 2022, these two teams have only faced off thrice - once in the inaugural year, twice in 2023, with their 2024 tie being abandoned without a ball bowled.

There's very little history to go on for these two teams from that perspective, but GT do have a slender lead in their head to head, having won two games and lost one. KKR looking to pull level today.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: One of the main storylines of this match will be Shubman Gill returning to Eden Gardens, this time as a captain of an opposing franchise. Released into the pre-auction draft for GT to snap up in their inaugural 2022 season, Gill and KKR have both seen trophy success in the three following years. Nevertheless, there is always the competitive incline at the highest level of the sport that will see Gill want to prove himself against a team that opted against retaining him. Can he show the fans at the Gardens what they will be missing out on, up close and personal?

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: It hasn't been a start to remember for the defending champions despite retaining much of their 2024 core. They have lost four matches and won only three thus far, leaving them on 6 points and a fair ways away from the top-half logjam in the IPL table. With several teams racking up the wins, this is already a must-win game for KKR. At least their pattern of results suggests a win.

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: Having beaten Delhi Capitals in what was a straight shootout for the top spot of the IPL table, GT are now looking nice and comfortable on 10 points and with a healthy NRR. Can they keep building on the momentum they have generated to become the first team to 12 in 2025?

IPL 2025, KKR vs GT Live Score: The IPL travels back to Kolkata and the Eden Gardens for a high-profile game, as the table topping Gujarat Titans try to extend their lead at the top of the table against the defending champions. It's not all smell-the-roses season for a KKR team struggling to find any consistency, but looking to bounce back from a humiliating loss.
