KKR vs GT: Team Preview for Match 39 Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) KKR currently sit in the 6th spot in the points table, and it has been a mixed season so far for the defending champions. In their last three matches, they had lost to LSG by four runs, won by eight wickets against CSK and failed to chase down 111 against PBKS in their most recent contest. While the bowlers have been contributing better, they will need something special from their top order, especially after their 16-run loss against PBKS. Ajinkya Rahane will hold the key in the batting order, while Varun Chakravarthy is the bowler to watch out for here. Key Players of KKR: Varun Chakravarthy, Vaibhav Arora, Quinton de Kock Gujarat Titans (GT) Gujarat Titans had bounced back well from their loss against LSG recently to win their previous game against Delhi Capitals. The team has been performing well as a unit so far, with Sai Sudharsan leading from the front with the bat and Prasidh Krishna topping the bowling charts currently. Apart from Prasidh Krishna, GT also have Sai Kishore, Mohammad Siraj and Rashid Khan to dominate in the bowling department.

However, with this being an afternoon fixture, the pitch is expected to dry up faster, which could tilt the balance slightly in favour of the spinners as the game progresses. Weather Report Expect a hot and humid afternoon at Eden Gardens, with temperatures soaring to around 42°C and humidity levels between 37% and 65%. While no rain is forecasted, the intense heat may challenge players and could influence pitch conditions as the match progresses. Conclusion GT will enter their upcoming match against KKR as favourites. The spotlight will be on their bowling attack, led by Prasidh Krishna, to restrict KKR to a total below 180. If they succeed, GT will have a strong chance of winning this game with ease.
