Kolkata Knight Riders are set to play the table-toppers, Gujarat Titans, at home at Eden Gardens on 21st April, 2025. Kolkata Knight Riders have lost 4 of the first 7 games in IPL 2025 with just 6 points and a net run rate of 0.547. The Knight Riders are currently placed 6th among the 10 teams.
KKR started the season with a big loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore. After scoring a below-par 174 batting first, KKR could not defend against RCB and lost the game by 7 wickets with about 4 overs to spare. In the next game, KKR got their first win against RR by a comprehensive margin of 8 wickets with 15 balls remaining. Chasing a low score of 152, KKR got there easily thanks to Quinton De Kock's innings of 97 off just 61 deliveries.
The sequence of winning and losing continued as KKR lost the next game against MI by a comprehensive margin of 8 wickets, followed by a comprehensive win against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Against SRH, Kolkata Knight Riders scored 200 and restricted the opponents to just 120. KKR never got into any winning momentum as they lost the next game against LSG by 4 runs, chasing a huge total of 239. They won their next win against CSK by 8 wickets, followed by a loss to PBKS by 16 runs.
Ajinkya Rahane, with 221 runs in 7 innings, is the top scorer for KKR, followed by Raghuvanshi, who has 170 runs in 6 innings. Lack of from other batters has been a concern for captain Ajinkya Rahane. In bowling, the mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy has 10 wickets and so has Harshit Rana, who has been in good form with the ball. It's a tough game for KKR as they are up against the table-toppers Gujarat Titans. KKR need to find some form with the bat and hope that their mystery spinners make an impact on the match day.
Key players: Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane, Harshit Rana, Angkrish Raghuvanshi
Rahane has scored 61, 38 & 56 runs in the three matches played at Kolkata this season. He is in fine touch and averages close to 30 in the 14 IPL matches played at Kolkata. Having fumbled in the run-chase against Punjab Kings, expect Rahane to be more focused and play an impactful knock.

This is turning out to be an excellent season for Gujarat Titans, especially when not many gave them a chance to be at the top of the table midway through the league stage of IPL 2025. They are up against Kolkata Knight Riders who have not done so well so far this season. With 5 wins in 7 games and the best net run rate of 0.984. Gujarat titans are currently at the top of the table with 10 points.
Despite starting the season with a loss against Punjab Kings by 11 runs, Gujarat Titans won the next four games against Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Rajasthan Royals. All four wins were comprehensive victories. The biggest of them came against the Rajasthan Royals in their fifth game when the Gujarat Titans scored 217 thanks to Sai Sudarshan's innings of 82 off just 53 balls. In defence, they restricted the Rajasthan Royals to just 159 runs, winning the game by 58 runs. Prasit Krishna took three wickets for 24 runs in that game.
Gujarat's second defeat came against LSG where they failed to defend a decent total of 180. However, the Titans came back strongly in the next game against Delhi Capitals to dethrone them with a 7-wicket victory. The Titans conceded 203 on a good batting track and chased it down with 4 balls and 7 wickets to spare. Jos Buttler played a super winnings of 97 runs while Prasidh Krishna took 4 wickets for 41 runs to help Titans get to the top of the table.
Sai Kishore and Jos Buttler are in superb form with the bat, while Prasidh Krishna and Mohammad Siraj have handled the bowling responsibility quite well this season. The Titans would like to continue the winning run and retain the top spot against underperforming KKR in this game.
Key players: Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj
Shubman Gill has smashed a total of 6 sixes in 7 matches this season. He has been inconsistent, but has a very good record at Kolkata, where he smashed 13 sixes, averaging close to one six per match. We back Gill to deposit one into the stands against his former team in today's match.
Sai Sudharsan has scores of 36, 56, 82, 5, 49, 63, 74 this season. He has had a single failure this season and in 6 of the 7 matches he has crossed the 35 run mark. Given his phenomenal consistency and ability to score runs opening the innings, we back him to score over 32 runs.
Buttler played a phenomenal knock (97*) against Delhi Capitals and has climbed up the top-scorer leaderboard and is at 5th place with 315 runs in 7 matches. At Kolkata in 5 matches, Buttler has scored 276 runs and has a staggering average of 69. Given his current form, we back Buttler to score over 28 runs against KKR.

We back the home team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to win the coin toss in match 39 of Tata IPL 2025.
Out of the 3 matches played here in this season, the team batting first have won against 1 win by the team bowling first. This is a high scoring venue where teams batting first have scored 200 or more twice, both times in wins. This looks like a good batting wicket. The team winning the toss should bat first here.
This is a game against Gujarat Titans who dethroned Reddy Capitals to gain the top spot in the points table after 7 games, against KK,R who have just 3 wins to show in the 7 games so far in IPL 2025. GT are hunting as a unit while KKR have been utterly inconsistent. We believe the Gujarat Titans have a superb chance to get 2 more points in this game against KKR.
We predict that Gujarat Titans will defeat Kolkata Knight Riders.
