KKR lose four quick wickets as Gujarat Titans take control of the proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): <\/strong>Venkatesh Iyer, Sunil Narine, Shreyas Iyer(c), Nitish Rana, Sam Billings(w), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Tim Southee, Shivam Mavi, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shreyas Iyer: <\/strong>Definitely (would have batted first).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last game we played here, it was scorching hot fielding first and the wicket also looks a bit dry. The spirits are obviously high, we haven’t played really bad games, need to keep the energy and vibe high. Just a matter of one over or something brilliant coming from all individuals. We have few niggles, so few changes. Tim (Southee) comes in, Sam (Billings) comes in and Rinku is in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gujarat Titans (Playing XI): <\/strong>Wriddhiman Saha(w), Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya(c), Abhinav Manohar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Alzarri Joseph, Lockie Ferguson, Yash Dayal, Mohammed Shami<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hardik Pandya<\/strong>: We’re gonna bat first. It’s absolutely fine. The last game was a precautionary absence as we had five days break after that, so I wanted to get a week’s break. Better to bat when it’s hot and see how the surface is. Only one change – Vijay goes out and I come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nick Knight<\/strong>: We can see a lot of what we’ve seen all season, lots of grass and that should help the quicks a bit. The ball should come onto the bat nicely as it has done at this venue. Having a closer look at the track, it seems to be a bit dry and the cracks look like they could open up sooner than later. Not saying that it will be a raging turner but there should be a little something in there for the spinners. Gut feel, win the toss and bat first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans<\/p>\n\n\n\n Match No. 35 of IPL 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday, 3:30 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai<\/p>\n\n\n\n Probable XI for KKR:<\/strong> Venkatesh Iyer, Aaron Finch, Shreyas Iyer, Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Sheldon Jackson, Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins, Shivam Mavi, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Probable XI for GT:<\/strong> Wriddhiman Saha, Shubman Gill, Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya, David Miller, Abhinav Manohar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Alzarri Joseph, Lockie Ferguson, Mohammed Shami<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" KKR lose four quick wickets as Gujarat Titans take control of the proceedings.
