---|---|
Date | April 9th, 2023 |
Time | 3.30 PM IST, 10:00 AM GMT, 3:30 PM Local Time |
Venue | Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad |
Gujarat Titans have been brilliant in the two matches they have played so far. They defeated Chennai Super Kings in their first game and then picked up a win over Delhi Capitals. The team has clicked together as a unit so far and the defending champs are already looking a force to reckon with.
Meanwhile, KKR lost to Punjab Kings in the first game but beat RCB by 81 runs in the last game. The batting for KKR is a concern with none of the top-order batters firing in two games.
The Narendra Modi Stadium offers a good pitch where batters get full value for their shots. However, it is a big ground so spinners are always in the game.
The weather will be hot and humid, with temperatures ranging between 31 and 24 degrees.

KKR have signed Jason Roy so he can replace Tim Southee and Mandeep Singh can be replaced by Suyash Sharma. However, with the impact player rule, there are plenty of possibilities. Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans have signed Dasun Shanaka as a replacement to Kane Williamson.
Gujarat Titans have won the only game played against KKR

Shubman Gill has been brilliant for Gujarat Titans. Even though he failed in the last game, he was good in the first match and scored a 50. Except him to come good against KKR.
David Miller announced his arrival at Gujarat Titans with match-winning innings of 31 off 16 against Delhi Capitals. Miller is in good form and will add a lot of stability to the Gujarat Titans’ batting order.
Gurbaz comes into the match after a match-winning 57 against RCB. Gurbaz became the first Afghan batter to hit a 50 in IPL. He will be looking to better that performance and give KKR another win.
Veteran Sunil Narine bowled a spell of 4-16 against RCB. Narine is one of the toughest bowlers to score off and is always among the wickets so he is a great pick for our team.
Shami bowled well against Delhi Capitals. He leaked a few runs but also took wickets for his team. If Shami can find his lines right, there is no better bowler than Mohammed Shami at the moment in world cricket.
