IPL 2025: All-round GT Maintain Pole Position With 39-run Win Over KKR (ld)
Kolkata Knight Riders: Gujarat Titans (GT) got rewarded for sticking to their calm, low-risk approach with the bat by registering a 39-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on Monday. On a slow pitch, GT posted a competitive 198/3 and then restricted an out of sorts KKR to 159/8 and maintain their pole position in the points table.
Captain Shubman Gill’s excellent 90 off 55 balls spearheaded GT’s batting efforts. He shared a 114-run opening partnership with B Sai Sudharsan, who hit 52 off 36 balls and became the tournament’s new leading run-getter. Jos Buttler provided for finishing touches with his unbeaten 41 off 23 balls.
Despite concerns about GT’s score and lack of risk taking, their relentless bowling attack, led by Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan taking two wickets each, proved to be decisive for the visitors’ to secure a clinical win – their sixth victory of the ongoing season.
