GT vs KKR predictions [Source: AFP]

The Gujarat Titans face the three-time IPL winners, Kolkata Knight Riders, at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, on April 17 at 7:30 PM (IST) with a previous record of 3 wins to 1 in GT’s favour.

The start of the IPL 2026 has been topsy-turvy for GT with two wins and two losses, as they sit 6th on the points table. On the other hand, KKR have been getting battered every game, as they sit at the rock-bottom with 4 losses and a no result in 5 matches.

As the teams face off for the first time in IPL 2026, we explore what to expect from the match in Ahmedabad.

GT vs KKR current form (last 5 matches)

GT vs KKR player battles

Sunil Narine vs Mohammed Siraj

Sunil Narine recently returned to the top of the order for KKR to create an impact with the bat, as he has done for many years. He has scored over 1100 runs in the powerplay at 170.14 for KKR and can swiftly put the opposition on the backfoot.

However, he could be susceptible to the 4th or 5th stump line, where he has previously been dismissed in the powerplay. Mohammed Siraj will be important for GT to play this role and get Narine out early.

Jos Buttler vs Sunil Narine

Jos Buttler has regained his form with 52 and 60 in the last two matches. He has a tendency to bat long when he gets in, obliterating the bowling units at will. In his previous battles with Sunil Narine, he has scored 90 runs in 79 balls at 113.90 in T20s, while getting out twice. This middle-overs battle will be very important for both teams and could determine the result.

Shubman Gill vs Cameron Green

Shubman Gill is GT’s most important batter, who does the bulk of the scoring, with a considerably bleak middle-order in the back of his mind. He has 109 runs in 2 innings at 151.38 this season.

Hence, he will need to be dismissed early, and with Blessing Muzarabani on the bench in recent games, the onus will be on Cam Green to get one ball nip back in and find Gill’s pads or the gap between the bat and pads while the ball still moves a bit.

GT vs KKR toss prediction

The Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, has hosted only one match in IPL 2026 so far, where the first innings score was 210, and it ended in a final-ball thriller for the team defending the target. It is a high-scoring venue, which has all sorts of pitches, so the toss decision will heavily depend on the surface used.

However, going by the general trend in Ahmedabad, the toss winning will bat first and look to post a score over 220-225 and defend it.

In IPL 2026, both GT and KKR haven’t been in high-flying form, but from GT’s perspective, their key overseas stars, Jos Buttler and Rashid Khan, have found their better version in the last few games. KKR are still looking out for their best combinations and looking at the squad dynamics and momentum, GT are likely to win the clash.
