Sunil Narine has scored 22 runs from 22 balls against Mohammed Siraj. He got out twice and hit 2 fours and a six. Most of the damage came in 2024 with 20 runs.
Jos Buttler has made 57 runs from 30 balls against Varun Chakravarthy. He got out twice and hit 7 fours and 2 sixes. His best knock was 29 runs in 2024.
Quinton de Kock has scored 80 runs from 70 balls against Rashid Khan. He got out 3 times and hit 7 fours and 3 sixes. His highest was 31 runs in 2023.
Narine has been a game-changer for KKR with both bat and ball. He has recently started performing this season. He was struggling with bowling in a few seasons but he has bounced back strongly. He picked 3/13 against CSK and followed it up with 2/14 vs PBKS. He is also playing good cameos with his batting ability at the top order.
Varun has found great rhythm in the last two games. His mystery spin is hard for the batter to read early which has helped him a lot in recent years. He grabbed 2/22 against Chennai Super Kings and 2 for 22 against Punjab Kings.
Gill has been good at the top for GT but not great performing in alternative matches. He has to be consistent from now on as the playoffs are nearing. He has played good knocks of 61* vs SRH and 60 against LSG. He is the captain and backbone in Gujarat Titans batting lineup.
Siraj was fiery with the ball earlier in the season, taking 4/17 against SRH and 3/19 vs RCB. Though his last two games were expensive, especially the last match against Delhi Capitals. He was not able to pick up wickets in the power-play against Delhi which has happened very rarely. Siraj has the highest number of wickets in powerplay in T20s since 2021.
Sai Kishore has quietly become a key figure in GT’s bowling unit. He has done well in every situation and has taken wickets in almost every match he gets to ball in. He has taken 7 wickets in his last 3 matches. He took 2/20 against RR and 2/24 against SRH. He gives nothing to the batters to work against, making him economical as well.
The young opener has been a fresh spark for KKR. He smashed a fifty vs SRH and scored a fluent 37 against PBKS. His fearless approach at the top has been helping KKR since last season. He is a good budget pick in this match.
You can avoid Manish Pandey and Mahipal Lomror in your Dream11 team for this match. Both players have not made an impact so far and are unlikely to feature in the playing XI. KKR are using Angkrish Raghuvanshi as their impact player while Gujarat Titans are using Sherfane Rutherford as their Impact player in place of Mahipal Lomror.
