KKR vs GT Live Scorecard: Match Summary 📖

At the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, the visiting Gujarat Titans side started off brilliantly. Openers Sai Sudharssan and Shubman Gill started off with a 114-run stand for the first wicket, where Sudharsan scored a brilliant 52, while Gill was magnificent with 90 (off 55 balls). They were very well supported by the one-down batter, Jos Buttler, with his 23-ball 41*. The Titans ended up scoring 198 after the end of their 20 overs. They were brilliant right from the start and didn't give Kolkata many chances, as the target of 199 looked way too big after the end of their first innings.



The Kolkata side started off rather poorly, as they lost Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the very first over, courtesy of Mohammed Siraj, who trapped him in front. Sunil Narine could only muster 17. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane fought back with a brilliant 50 but was soon dismissed, as the rest of the batting lineup faltered. Kolkata could only get to 159 by the end of their 20 overs. Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan picked two wickets each, while giving away 25 runs apiece in their four overs. In the end, the Titans won the game comfortably by 39 runs, as Kolkata gave up too easily and early.

KKR vs GT Scorecard: Venketesh Iyer Survives Close Call 🙀😱

That was as close as it gets. Rashid was this 🤏🏻close to getting another wicket. Loud appeal for LBW but the umpire shakes his head. It's was in line but height was the main question! It was indeed what saved him. Minute difference as ball was just clipping the top of middle stump!! Extremely close call! And he survives!! Also, 50 up on the board!


KKR 50/2 (7.1)


22:00 (GMT) Apr 21

KKR vs GT Score Update: Rashid The Man As Kolkata Lose Narine 🫢

Sunil Narine pulls it away straight to backward square leg. The magician 🪄Rashid Khan strikes third ball and it's Narine who is walking back to the pavilion. Not a wicket-taking delivery by any means but Rashid and the Titans will take it.


End of the powerplay. Better start for the Gujarat Titans in defence of 198 as they get rid of both the attacking KKR openers inside the first six. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane looks settled on the crease and needs to change gears alongside his deputy Venkatesh Iyer.


KKR: 45/2 (6)

Whoof!! Gujarat Titans ended their innings on a high with 198/3 in 20 overs against Kolkata Knight Riders, thanks to a brilliant captain’s knock by Shubman Gill. The opener scored 90 off 55 balls, hitting 10 fours and 3 sixes, and shared a 114-run opening stand with B Sai Sudharsan, who contributed a valuable 52 from 36 deliveries. 


Jos Buttler added the late spark with a quickfire 41* off 23 balls. KKR bowlers struggled to contain the run flow, with only Harshit Rana, Vaibhav Arora, and Andre Russell managing a wicket each. 


Despite Rahul Tewatia and Sudharsan falling in the death overs, GT maintained momentum through powerful hitting from Buttler and Shahrukh Khan, who finished unbeaten on 11 off 5. The Titans’ strong batting display has set KKR a stiff target of 199. 🔥



21:08 (GMT) Apr 21

WICKET!! Andre Russell finds one for the purple camp!! Russell has done it! It's the golden arm of Russell like someone said recently. He bangs the ball short with seam up outside off, Sai Sudharsan cuts and only gets a faint edge for a regulation catch for the keeper...

Nevertheless, Buttler came in and picked the pace in no time! 4,4,4 to Russell! What nerve! Top Counterattacking skills as Russell concedes 13 runs from the over despite bagging the breakthrough wicket!

KKR vs GT Match Updates: Pitch Report 🏟️

The pitch at Eden Gardens in Kolkata has heavily favoured the batters, as evidenced by the average run rate of 10.11 at this venue in IPL 2025.


The fast bowlers might get a hint of movement and extra bounce of the deck initially with the new ball; however, the batters will likely enjoy their time in the middle after negotiating the first few deliveries.


The spinners haven't found significant assistance in Kolkata this season. However, it's the fourth game at this venue, the track could offer some turn as the game progresses. Considering the pitch won't likely change its behaviour with time, the toss-winner might opt to chase.

KKR vs GT Live Score: Fantasy Predictions 💵

Ajinkya Rahane

IPL 2025 Form: 221 Runs in 7 Matches

The KKR skipper has been in a good touch with the bat in the tournament. Ajinkya Rahane has seemingly found his touch and could be an important pick for the fantasy contests of the match.


Quinton de Kock

IPL 2025 Form: 143 Runs in 7 Matches

The South African keeper batter has played only one innings of substance in the tournament. Barring the single knock, Quinton de Kock has failed to deliver with the bat. However. QDK is a class act and could be a crucial choice for the fantasy contests.


Varun Chakaravarthy

IPL 2025 Form: 10 Wickets in 7 Matches

The Indian mystery spinner has been in a good form with the ball. Even though, Varun Chakaravarthy has not delivered a standout performance with the ball, he has been consistent so far. Given the rhythm he has found, Chakaravrthy could be a crucial pick for the fantasy contests.

KKR vs GT Live: Preview Time 📖

Kolkata Knight Riders will be up against Gujarat Titans in the upcoming 39th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday, April 21st. The enthralling encounter will take place at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.


Kolkata Knight Riders have been highly inconsistent as they have managed only 3 wins in 7 matches, and currently sit sixth on the table. The defending champions will be desperate to find consistency and build a winning streak to secure a top-four finish.


In contrast, Gujarat Titans have dominated the first half of the tournament, claiming 5 wins from 7 games to lead the standings at the halfway mark of the tournament. They will now look to maintain their strong form and further solidify their position at the top of the standings.
