IPL 2026: KKR vs GT playing 11, live toss and match time, streaming

KKR will need a win over GT on Saturday to keep their playoff chances alive

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 is heading towards its business end and in a crucial clash on the road to the playoffs, three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are hosting high-flying Gujarat Titans (GT) in match 60 of the season at Eden Gardens in Kolkata today. GT skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and invited Ajinkya Rahane-led KKR to bat first.

 

The game is once again important for both sides as a win for GT will take them one step closer to a top-two finish on the points table. On the other hand, KKR desperately need a win to stay alive in the tournament for the time being.

 

 

In terms of team combination, GT are still following the same formula they have been using since last season. One of their top three — Sai, Gill and Buttler — will play a long innings and the others will support them. In bowling, GT have been exceptional, with Siraj, Holder and Rabada consistently taking wickets in the powerplay. Meanwhile, Rashid is dominating the middle overs, giving GT a five-game winning streak ahead of the KKR clash.

 

On the other hand, KKR are still banking on their batting prowess to get the job done. Angkrish, Allen and Rinku are playing good cricket. However, the form of skipper Rahane will be a concern for them.

 

In bowling, they are still not using their Rs 18 crore buy, Pathirana, and are struggling. Varun and Narine have been exceptional in the spin department, but the pacers still lack consistency.

 

On paper, GT look favourites to win but whether they can extend their winning streak to seven games, only time can tell.
