IPL 2026 Live: Rahane opts to bat as KKR look to set the tone vs GT -- GT vs KKR Live Score, IPL 2026: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of KKR vs GT live on Timesofindia.com. The spotlight firmly rests on Kolkata Knight Riders as they head into a must-win clash against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium. With just one point from five games, KKR are staring at an early exit unless a dramatic turnaround begins immediately.

Their struggles have largely stemmed from a disjointed batting unit. The decision to promote Sunil Narine as an opener while pushing Ajinkya Rahane into unfamiliar roles highlights a lack of clarity. The absence of reliable spin-hitters has further exposed their vulnerabilities, especially on slower surfaces. Youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been a rare bright spot, but overall contributions have been inconsistent.

On the other hand, GT are beginning to click. Jos Buttler's aggressive starts at the top alongside Shubman Gill have strengthened their batting core, while Rashid Khan continues to be a key weapon with the ball. The Titans will also look to exploit KKR's right-heavy lineup through favourable matchups, particularly targeting players like Rovman Powell.

Despite their upward trajectory, GT are not without flaws. A fragile middle order means early wickets could expose them under pressure. For KKR, this presents an opportunity, albeit a narrow one.

With conditions expected to favour batting, another run-fest could be on the cards. For KKR, it is about survival. For GT, it is about momentum.
