GT vs KKR IPL 2024 Match Highlights: Gujarat Titans eliminated from playoffs after washout, Kolkata Knight Riders secure spot in first qualifier
GT vs KKR IPL 2024 Match Highlights: Gujarat Titans were officially eliminated from the tournament after a washout in Ahmedabad, while Kolkata Knight Riders have booked their spot in the first Qualifier.
In a touching moment, the two captains exchanged ribbons as part of Titans' breast cancer awareness initiative, followed by a handshake to mark the end of the match.
Fireworks illuminated the sky, signaling the conclusion of Titans' home leg, while the players embarked on a lap around the ground to express gratitude to the crowd.
Despite the rain, numerous fans remained, eagerly anticipating some action.
The season has been a letdown for Gujarat Titans. Despite winning the title in their debut and finishing runners-up in the second season, they struggled to find form this time.
Heavy rain delays match again. Ground needs 40-45 minutes to prep after rain stops. 10:56 PM cut-off for a 5-over game. Stands emptying as fans lose hope.
Heavy rain disrupts preparations at tonight's event. A sizable crowd waits under cover as remaining floodlights remain off. Earlier drizzle caused decorative flags to snag on floodlights, delaying repairs. Despite these setbacks, a section of the stadium has been partially illuminated by some functioning floodlights.
Shubman Gill's recent century has been pivotal in rejuvenating his form after being left out of the T20 World Cup squad. As captain of the Gujarat Titans (GT), he is set to lead his team against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Narendra Modi Stadium. GT, with a negative net run-rate, faces an uphill battle in their bid for a playoff spot, requiring significant victories to keep their hopes alive. On the other hand, KKR has already secured a place in the playoffs but aims for a top-two finish with just one win needed from their remaining two games. Despite recent successes, KKR remains cautious, mindful of past defeats such as Rinku Singh's memorable onslaught.
KKR's resurgence this season stems from their formidable batting lineup, with all top four batsmen scoring over 300 runs at a rate exceeding 10 per over, a milestone in IPL history. Notably, openers Sunil Narine and Phil Salt have formed consistent partnerships, although Salt's departure presents a challenge. Moreover, KKR's bowling unit has been impressive, with four bowlers claiming 15 or more wickets at averages below 21, setting new IPL standards.
In preparation for the upcoming match, GT may rely on Rashid Khan to counter KKR's batting prowess, while Rahmanullah Gurbaz could emerge as a wildcard, especially given Salt's absence. Despite GT's current position at eighth on the table, their playoff aspirations persist, albeit slim.
