Kolkata Knight Riders will take on the Gujarat Titans in Match 35 of IPL 2022 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. The Shreyas Iyer-led side is coming off a loss against Rajasthan Royals in a close encounter and has lost all their three previous games. The bowling lineup needs to be reassessed as they have been conceding plenty in the last few games, however, they are likely to go in with the same playing XI.

On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have been the best team so far in the first half of the season and they have excelled in all three departments. Each player has stepped up in different games and David Miller’s form has solved a lot of issues for the Hardik Pandya-led side this season in the batting department. Vijay Shankar will need some runs under his belt while the skipper is set to be back in the playing XI at the expense of Yash Dayal.

Pitch Report

In the previous game at this venue, CSK managed to chase down the score of 156 on the last ball of the game and there has been enough help for the bowlers. Any score above 180 is going to be relatively difficult to chase down. However, the skipper that wins the toss is likely to go with the decision of bowling first as the wickets have been unpredictable.

Probable Playing XIs for KKR vs GT

Kolkata Knight Riders

Venkatesh Iyer, Aaron Finch, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Sheldon Jackson (wk), Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins, Shivam Mavi, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy.

Gujarat Titans

Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill, Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya (c), David Miller, Abhinav Manohar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Alzarri Joseph, Lockie Ferguson, Mohammed Shami.

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the Match: Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill missed out in the last game as he was dismissed for a golden duck against CSK and he will be looking to make up for the failure. The right-hander has been in good touch every time he has batted and he has already piled up 200 runs in six games this season. The 22-year-old has added a lot of shots to his armory and he is expected to continue his merry run with the bat at the top.

Probable best bowler of the Match: Lockie Ferguson

Lockie Ferguson had a rare off day in the previous game as he conceded 46 runs in his four overs at 11.5 runs per over. The New Zealand speedster can clock high speeds continuously and he can change a game on its head in a quick time. He has picked up eight wickets in six games already and Gujarat will expect him to add more wickets to his tally even if he goes for runs.
