Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on defending IPL champions, Gujarat Titans (GT) in match number 39 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, at the Eden Gardens Cricket Stadium in Kolkata on April 29, 2023, Saturday. With half of the tournament-matches completed, the race for the IPL 2023 playoff qualification gets started. Gujarat’s IPL campaign is on the right path after having registered five wins out of the first seven matches. Except a few games, the Hardik Pandya-unit has performed as a unit. Their batters are in sublime form while their bowlers are serving their natural duties perfectly. On the other hand, Kolkata are struggling. The Nitish Rana-led team has managed to register just two wins out of the first eight games. The only talking point about Kolkata is the resurgence of batter, Rinku Singh. However, in the last game, England’s Jason Roy did provide some useful contributions with the bat. In addition to Rinku’s resurgence, we also saw their bowlers finally finding their rhythm and form. For Kolkata, this game is a must-win if they are to stay alive in the race for top-four finish. MS Dhoni Hits 'Bullseye' As He Runs Out Dhruv Jurel With Direct Hit During RR vs CSK IPL 2023 Match.
