Match 39 of the IPL 2025 has the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) taking on the Gujarat Titans (GT) at the legendary Eden Gardens in Kolkata tonight. KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and decided to bowl first on the night. 
 
KKR head into this encounter after a disappointing loss to the Punjab Kings. Chasing a modest total of 112, they were bowled out for just 95 despite being in a strong position at 62/2. A sudden collapse, triggered by standout spells from Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, and Marco Jansen, exposed Kolkata's batting frailties under pressure. While their batting remains a concern, their bowling unit—featuring Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine, and Harshit Rana—has been a bright spot, especially during the middle overs. Currently led by Ajinkya Rahane, KKR sit sixth on the points table with three wins in seven matches.
 
Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans are enjoying a strong campaign, largely thanks to their formidable batting line-up. In their previous outing, GT successfully chased down a massive 204-run target against Delhi Capitals. Jos Buttler was the star of the show, anchoring the chase with a stunning 97* off 51 balls. Key contributions from **Sai Sudharsan** and Sherfane Rutherford stabilized the innings, while Rahul Tewatia finished the game with his trademark flair. On the bowling front, Prasidh Krishna and Sai Kishore have been vital in controlling the flow of runs during crunch moments.
