KKR vs GT Predicted XI: Tonight, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be hosting the Gujarat Titans (GT) at Eden Gardens in match no. 60 of the IPL 2026.
Shubman Gill’s GT are perched comfortably on the second spot in the points table, having the joint-most points (16), tied with the table leaders RCB. A victory today will seal GT’s place in the playoffs and will bring them closer to guaranteeing a top-two spot.
On the other hand, KKR are fighting for survival. They have nine points in 11 matches and are the immediate team above the two eliminated franchises, MI and LSG. A victory is a must for KKR tonight, or else they will join MI and LSG as the teams knocked out of the playoffs race.
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans: What happened the last time these two teams met in IPL 2026?

Captain Shubman Gill played a match-winning hand of 86 runs off 50 balls to guide the chase after Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada had combined to take five wickets.
KKR vs GT contests to watch out for today: Fire meets Fire
While the defining state of play in this KKR vs GT contest would be the period how GT’s top order deals with KKR’s spinners, arguably the more compelling contest would be Finn Allen vs Rabada-Siraj.
The GT new-ball bowlers have debatably been the best bowling pair in the season so far and have taken 34 wickets combined. They will be up against Allen, the powerful basher who a game ago hammered a blistering century against Delhi Capitals.
KKR vs GT: Injury news
