KKR vs GT Head-To-Head IPL 2025: Reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will hope that their strife-ridden batting unit will tighten its act against in-form table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) in the IPL match here on Monday.
The Knight Riders suffered an inexplicable meltdown in their previous match, getting bowled out for 95 while chasing 112 against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur, and that collapse was just a reflection of the overall rot that has set among their batters.
The reigning IPL champions have roped in Abhishek Nayar, who was recently sacked by the BCCI from the post of India's assistant coach, even before his exit from the national setup was made official.
The Titans, led by Shubman Gill, have lost only twice this season. Their bowling attack has been a major strength with pacer Prasidh Krishna leading their charge with 14 wickets at an average of 14.35 from seven games.
