Top artists predicted

Kolkata Knight Riders

• Sunil Narin: A game-shineer with both bat and ball, their ability to control middle overs may be important.
• Andre Russell: A powerhouse hitter, capable of turning the game in a few overs.

Gujarat Titans

• Shubman Gill: The captain has been in a stellar form, which is a leader from the front with a continuous batting performance.
• Prasad Krishna: Pace Spearhead of Gujarat, which is known for his ability to deliver under pressure.

Match prediction

Given the batting -friendly situations in the Eden Gardens, the match is expected to have a high scoring thriller. This may be a decisive factor if they manage to include GT’s aggressive batting lineup, led by KKR’s spin-urge attacks, Narin and Chakraborty. However, Shubman Gill’s leadership and Gujarat’s explosive batting depth makes him a malignant rival. If GT quickly capitalizes the strength of his batting, they can exclude KKR in a close competition.
