On Monday, Gujarat Titans will cross swords against Kolkata Knight Riders in match 63 of the ongoing Indian Premier League season. 

Led by Shreyas Iyer, the Knight Riders have had an extraordinary campaign, making it into the playoffs with nine victories in 12 matches. 

Recently, they secured an emphatic win over Mumbai Indians, riding on bowlers' stupendous performance. 

On the other hand, the Titans have been miserable in the competition, placed eighth in the standings with five wins under their belt. So, given they are still alive in the playoffs race, GT would be desperate for a win heading to this clash. 

Meanwhile, there are several on-field contests that might decide this game's outcome. So, as both teams gear up for a fascinating battle, let's analyse and find out the top four player battles to watch out for. 

Andre Russell vs Rashid Khan

Veteran West Indies cricketer Andre Russell has emerged as KKR's go-to man this season, courtesy of his incredible all-round attributes. 

However, ace GT spinner Rashid Khan could emerge as his nemesis as he has dismissed him four times in the shortest format.

Shreyas Iyer vs Kartik Tyagi

Despite being impressive with his tactical nuances, Shreyas Iyer has blown hot and cold with the bat in the IPL 2024. The gutsy Mumbai batter doesn't enjoy facing Kartik Tyagi, who could test him with his body-line bowling in this game.
