KKR vs GT Dream 11 Prediction: Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders will aim to get back to winning ways as they face table-toppers Gujarat Titans at Eden Gardens on Monday. KKR come into the contest on the back of a disappointing defeat to Punjab Kings. Chasing a modest target of 111, they collapsed to 95, falling short by 16 runs in a match that exposed the inconsistencies in their batting lineup.
On the other hand, Gujarat Titans are riding a wave of confidence following a spectacular run-chase against Delhi Capitals. Jos Buttler’s unbeaten 97 guided GT to a successful 204-run chase, taking them to the top of the points table. With consistent performances across departments, GT look like strong contenders for a playoff spot.
Head-to-head record
KKR and GT have faced each other three times in completed IPL matches, with Gujarat leading the head-to-head 2-1. KKR’s only win came in 2023, courtesy of Rinku Singh’s legendary five consecutive sixes off Yash Dayal’s over.
How is the pitch and weather at Eden Gardens?
Eden Gardens has slowed down this season, with an average first-innings score of 192. Teams batting second average 188, suggesting batting first might be an advantage. Weather-wise, Kolkata is expected to stay dry with temperatures ranging between 27°C and 36°C.
