Gujarat Titans delivered an impressive performance to secure a 39-run victory against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their IPL 2025 match held on April 22 at Eden Gardens. Setting a challenging target of 199, Gujarat Titans showcased a strong batting lineup that led them to a decisive win.

The star of the match was Shubman Gill, who contributed significantly with a stellar knock of 90 runs off 55 balls, including 10 fours and three sixes. His innings set the foundation for a formidable total. Supporting Gill at the crease was Sai Sudharsan, who scored a well-crafted 52 off 36 deliveries, further strengthening the Titans’ position. Adding to the team’s robust score, Jos Buttler played an unbeaten innings, scoring 41 runs from just 23 balls.

As the innings concluded, Gujarat Titans had posted a formidable total of 198 for 3 in their 20 overs. KKR bowlers found occasional breakthroughs with Russell, Arora, and Rana each claiming a wicket. However, they were unable to contain the explosive batting display by Gujarat.

In response, KKR’s chase faltered as they managed to score only 159 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs. Ajinkya Rahane stood out with a fighting 50 off 36 balls, but his efforts were not enough to steer his team to victory. Gujarat Titans’ bowling attack was spearheaded by Rashid Khan, who delivered a critical spell, taking 2 wickets for just 25 runs.

Additionally, Prasidh Krishna’s quick wickets of Moeen Ali and Ramandeep Singh added pressure on KKR, making it difficult for them to keep up with the required run rate.

This comprehensive victory not only highlights the strength of Gujarat Titans as a team but also sets a high benchmark for their future performances in the IPL 2025 season.
