Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 39th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The Eden Gardens Stadium will host the game on Monday, April 21.
The two teams have locked horns four times in IPL, with the Titans leading the Knight Riders 2-1 in head-to-head clashes. One match didn't yield a result. The previous fixture between the two teams was abandoned without a ball bowled due to rain in match 63 of IPL 2024. The two teams last met in 2023.
