KKR vs GT Highlights, IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 39 runs

April 21, 2025· 23:55 IST

IPL 2025 Match, KKR vs GT Highlights: GT captain Shubman Gill’s classy 90 off 55 balls on a testing Eden Gardens surface set the tone for Gujarat Titans' comprehensive 39-run victory over defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in an IPL clash on Monday. Gill’s fluent knock, featuring 10 boundaries and three sixes, was supported by Sai Sudharsan, who scored a steady 52 off 36 balls. Their partnership powered GT to a commanding total of 198 for 3 after KKR chose to bowl first on a sluggish pitch. The target proved too steep for KKR, as Gujarat’s bowlers, spearheaded by Rashid Khan and Prasidh Krishna (both returning figures of 2/25), kept a firm grip on the game, limiting the hosts to 159 for 8.

The KKR batting lineup has once again crumbled under pressure; a serious concern they need to address urgently. Gujarat Titans, meanwhile, have been clinical with their strategies, and their bowlers have executed the plans to perfection. Concerns around Rashid Khan's form seem to have vanished as he's snagged two crucial wickets, breathing a sigh of relief into the GT camp!

Strategic timeout. Gujarat Titans have truly tightened the screws! Kolkata Knight Riders haven't found the boundary since over 4.1, a veritable desert of singles and doubles. Rahane looks comfortable at the crease, but Iyer has been decidedly unconvincing. This partnership is lagging behind the required rate, and one of them needs to ignite some fireworks soon! The Titans' fielding has been electric, keeping the KKR batsmen chained down. To further crank up the pressure, Gill has unleashed Sai Kishore, replacing the wizard Rashid Khan in the attack. A tactical masterstroke perhaps?

SIX! THE KKR CAPTAIN FINDING HIS RHYTHM! Sundar floats it up, right in the hitting zone around middle stump. Ajinkya Rahane gets down on one knee and absolutely smashes it with a slog sweep over the deep mid-wicket boundary for a colossal maximum!

OH, BEAUTY! Short and around off, that one zipped off the surface with some turn! Venkatesh Iyer was completely bamboozled, squared up as he attempted a block. Quality stuff!

ℹ️MATCH INFO

Strategic Timeout. Gujarat Titans have really tightened the screws! It's been a fantastic passage of play for them. Kolkata Knight Riders haven't found the ropes since over 4.2, a period dominated by ones and twos. Ajinkya Rahane looks comfortable, but Venkatesh Iyer is struggling to find his rhythm, looking decidedly unconvincing. One of them needs to ignite this innings and accelerate, as this partnership is currently lagging behind the required run rate. Gujarat Titans have been electric in the field, keeping the KKR batsmen under immense pressure. To further choke the scoring, Shubman Gill is bringing Sai Kishore into the attack, replacing Rashid Khan. A tactical masterstroke!

4️⃣FOUR!Over 10.1Kolkata 72/2

FOUR! A boundary at last for KKR! Much-needed runs! Sundar errs with a slightly short delivery outside off, and Ajinkya Rahane stands tall, nonchalantly lofting it inside-out over cover. No footwork required, pure timing and placement for a valuable boundary!

Another brilliant effort in the deep from a GT fielder! Shortish again, around off, Venkatesh Iyer gets inside the line and flicks it with his wrists towards mid-wicket. Shahrukh Khan sprints to his left and puts in a full-stretch dive, saving two crucial runs for his team. Excellent commitment!
