Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are all set to turn their fortunes around against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 39th clash of the ongoing IPL 2025, slated to take place on Monday, April 21, at the iconic Eden Gardens. The defending champions aim to bolster their strife-ridden batting side against the table-toppers and IPL 2022 champions.

Ajinkya Rahane and his men suffered an inexplicable meltdown in their recent outing, getting bundled out for just 95 while chasing 112 against Punjab Kings at Mullanpur. Despite that, the three-time IPL champions have a ray of hope, as they have roped in Abhishek Nayar, who was recently sacked by the Indian Cricket Board. This homecoming of Nayar, who was already a former coach of the franchise, is expected to boost the KKR side, given their success last year. Notably, Kolkata needs to win five out of the remaining seven matches to stay in the playoff race.

On the other hand, the in-form and table-toppers Gujarat Titans had a blast chasing the target in their last game against the Delhi Capitals. Notably, the game was played at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. The star wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler played a magnanimous knock of an unbeaten 97* runs. As a result, GT successfully chased down the 204-run target with four balls to spare.
