GT vs KKR IPL 2024 Match Washed Out Due to Rain; Gujarat Titans Officially Knocked Out of Race to Enter IPL 2024 Playoffs, Kolkata Knight Riders Seal Top-Two Spot

That's it then! After a lot of deliberation between the officials and umpires, the match has officially been called off with several parts of the ground still having thick puddles of water. Gujarat Titans would have wanted this game to happen real bad but unfortunately, the weather gods had other ideas. Gujarat Titans bid adieu to their hopes of making it to the IPL 2024 playoffs with a washout as now the best they can get to, is 13 points, which is not enough. It has been a disappointing season so far from them and they will need to look back and hope to correct the wrongs. On the flip side, Kolkata Knight Riders would not complain much about this result as they already have booked a place in the top-two on the points table. KKR can now have two shots at making it to the final.

High-flying Kolkata Knight Riders will look to aim at securing a spot in the top two on the IPL 2024 points table when they take on Gujarat Titans on Monday, May 13. The Shreyas Iyer-led side have been in superb form this season and they became the first team to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs with a win over Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens in what was a rain-truncated match few days ago. The return of Gautam Gambhir has clearly made a difference to the Kolkata Knight Riders' setup and the two-time champions are looking good as they gun for a third IPL trophy. The batting as well as bowling have complemented each other wonderfully and they start as favourites to win all two points in this match. Last season, it was at this very clash in this venue that saw Rinku Singh smash Yash Dayal for five sixes in one over as he snatched a victory for KKR from the jaws of defeat. IPL 2024 Gujarat Titans vs Kolkata Knight Riders Free Live Streaming Online on JioCinema: Get TV Channel Telecast Details of GT vs KKR T20 Cricket Match on Star Sports.

Gujarat Titans meanwhile, have not had a memorable IPL 2024 campaign. Although they are not technically out of the IPL 2024 playoff race, a defeat today might seal that fate for Shubman Gill and co. Gill has had a turbulent start to his life as Gujarat Titans captain and he will look to learn from the experiences of this campaign and grow into a better leader. The 2022 champions had a series of bad results before they bounced back with a victory over defending champions Chennai Super Kings at home. The win has given Gujarat Titans a lot of momentum as they hope to keep their slender IPL 2024 playoff hopes alive with a win in this match. For Gill, it will be a clash against his former team, and fans would look forward to seeing how he fares against the likes of Mitchell Starc, Sunil Narine and co.  IPL 2024: When Rinku Singh's Five Sixes in Last Over Helped Kolkata Knight Riders Beat Gujarat Titans Last Time These Two Teams Met in Ahmedabad (Watch Video).
