The three-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Kolkata Knight Riders will aim to come back to winning ways as they take on 2022 IPL champions Gujarat Titans in the match 60 of the IPL 2026 at the iconic Eden Gardens, Kolkata on May 16.
After a horrific start to their season, the Ajinkya Rahane-led side have recovered well, winning four of their last five matches. After losing a closely fought contest against their arch-rivals RCB, they will be looking to come back to winning ways.
GT, on the other hand, are one of the most in-form teams in IPL 2026 currently. They are on a five-match winning streak, and would want to book their place in the playoffs with a win here at Kolkata.
Here is Kolkata Knight Riders’ strongest predicted XI vs Gujarat Titans:
Top-order: Ajinkya Rahane (C), Finn Allen, Angkrish Raghuvanshi
The KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane will continue to open the innings along with Finn Allen. The Kiwi batter is known for his power-hitting ability, and is one of KKR’s biggest strengths with the bat in the powerplay overs. He can take away the game with his breathtaking powerhitting.
Rahane, on the other hand, is struggling for form, and would want to score a few valuable runs at the top. Angkrish Raghuvanshi finally found his lost touch against RCB, scoring brilliant 71 runs.
