Kagiso Rabada anchors the Gujarat Titans’ attack as they face the Kolkata Knight Riders, with the hosts building momentum against a side still searching for a win.
Rabada remains central to a bowling unit that has improved after a slow start, contributing across key phases as Gujarat secured back-to-back wins. Their latest result, a controlled chase against Lucknow, highlighted a more balanced side with consistent returns from both batting and bowling.
AFRICA PICKS: Gujarat Titans vs Kolkata Knight Riders – IPL preview
Kolkata arrive without a win this season, with four defeats and a no-result leaving them at the bottom of the table. Their struggles have come from inconsistent batting and a lack of control with the ball.
Ahmedabad has produced high-scoring matches, placing pressure on bowlers to manage early overs and limit damage at the death.
Gujarat’s structure has delivered results, and Rabada’s role with the ball remains key as they look to extend their winning run.
