Gujarat Titans will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 25 of IPL 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 17. GT are in good form and will look to continue winning, while KKR are still searching for their first win this season. This match is important for both teams.

Gujarat Titans have made a strong comeback after losing their first two matches. They have now won two games in a row and are currently in 6th place with 4 points. In their last match, they defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 7 wickets. Prasidh Krishna was excellent with the ball, taking 4 wickets. With the bat, Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler scored half-centuries. Both players have been in good form this season. GT will look to continue this momentum.

Their last match ended in a loss while chasing 193, as they could only score 160. Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been their best batter so far.
