Pitch Report

Knight reckons "Defending champions are back on their turf, they are desperate for a win." Morgan says, "There's a magnificent covering of grass, nice shine to it. The ball will show consistent bounce, bit of a swing too, probably in the powerplay. If you take a step back, if you don't see a covering of grass, there'll be turn on it, may be not tonight. It's going to be a high run scoring. KKR might have to play Moeen just purely as a batter. Early wickets is key for KKR, utilize the swing, the likes of Rana, Arora, pitch it up and let the ball do the talking. Top three for GT have done well, if they are pushed back, then it's going to be different for them."

Commentary

11:45 PM IST: That brings us to the end of our coverage from Match No 39 of the 18th edition of IPL and the Gujarat Titans continue their dream run in the competition and inch one step closer from booking their place in the playoffs. They were thoroughly professional and read the surface perfectly and ensured they reached a sizeable score of 198 which proved to be a bit too much for KKR in the end. Shubman Gill reflected it's all about finding ways to win games without having a perfect game and that is exactly what they are doing. It's been a brilliant start to their campaign but needs to keep up their consistency as we have seen teams falter at the back end and miss out on playoff berths. On the other hand, KKR has looked timid for the majority of the season and have lacked the killer instinct which made them the champions in 2024. They have a lot to ponder on but they still have time to make a comeback which they have done before. The IPL carnival continues tomorrow with the Lucknow Supergiants hosting the Delhi Capitals in the 40th match of the competition. Up until then, it's goodbye and goodnight from Sportskeeda's comm box featuring Arya Sekhar Chakraborty and Pradeep. Adios!

Shubman Gill is the Gujarat Titans captain and also the Player of the match, here is what he had to say: Very pleased, we were talking about these two matches and where will it put us in the table. Very happy to win these two back to back matches. Not really, there is no such conversation. We just want to play our natural game and take it as deep as possible. It's all about scoring runs. It's one thing to be ahead in the game and close the game, so some of the emotions came out after Venkatesh Iyer’s dismissal. It's very difficult to have a perfect game. Today as well, ten runs more even in bowling there were a couple of unforced errors. But it's all about winning the game without having a perfect game and that is what we are doing at the moment.

Mohammad Siraj gets the award for bowling most dot deliveries (13).

Shubman Gill bags the award for hitting most fours (10) in the match.

Shubman Gill also get the award for hitting most sixes (3) in the match.

Shubman Gill wins the award for acquiring most fantasy points.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi gets the award for scoring at the highest strike rate in the match.

Time for the post match presentation ceremony with Murali Kartik.

Sai Kishore [Gujarat Titans]: "There was enough purchase on that wicket, when we bowled in second innings, there was more purchase, good performance with the ball. Just tried to change the angles, so that the deviations are different every time, just wanted to slow through the air, induce the top edge. Rashid is the best T20 bowler in the world, he's getting his wicket taking knack back, we all believe in him. The talk has been about playing good cricket, not about the results. Our fielding has been good, addressing them where we lack."

Ajinkya Rahane [Kolkata Knight Riders captain]: "First of all I thought, 199 was chaseable, we came back with the ball really well. Chasing 199, we didn't get off to a good start, it was very much chaseable, we faltered as a batting unit, need to keep going. It was little slow, when we were bowling, if we could keep them below 200, would've been good. We need to bat well, doesn't matter what the score is. No complaints about the bowlers. Fielding has been a bit of concern, it's something in our control, if we can save 10-15 runs, that'll be brilliant, we lack that at the moment. The guys are working hard, just need to bring in that intensity and attitude. This format is all about being brave, you can't keep delve on the past, when you do well, keep improving, if you don't you still need to do that same. It's just a matter we turn things around with the bat, I back them completely. Good to see Angkrish, he's been batting really well, today was the situation to push him."
