GT vs KKR IPL Prediction: Gujarat Titans vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 13th Match OF IPL 2023
GT vs KKR IPL Prediction: Gujarat Titans will host Kolkata Knight Riders in their 3rd match of the IPL 2023 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, on April 9th, 2023. The match will start at 3:30 PM/IST afternoon, and it will be the 2nd home match of Gujarat Titans.
Gujarat Titans started off their title-defending season with confidence and performance as they won both matches. The first match was against the title contention team Chennai Super Kings, in which they showed that last season was not just a joke and won the match by five wickets.
The second match was against the Delhi Capital, in which they easily won the match by six wickets. Though the team’s opening stand got into trouble when Anrich Nortje bowled both openers in his two overs. Sai Sudharsan played a match-defining inning scoring 62 runs in 48 balls, making the situation calm. Vijay Shankar again shut his haters mouth up as he scored 29 runs off 23 balls.
Kolkata Knight Riders did not have a great start to the season as they lost their first match against the Punjab Kings by 7 runs in a rain-affected match. The absence of Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy was clearly shown as Nitish Rana finds it hard to make better decisions with bowling options and batting order. Nitish Rana, from the start, has never been a good choice for captaincy as he lacks playing at the international level, which is one of the keys to being a successful captain. Maybe after a few matches, if Nitish Rana still failed to show impact as captain, then Sunil Narine or Andre Russell should be given a chance to be the captain.

From the Kolkata Knight Riders side, Andre Russell played an amazing inning of 48 runs and took four wickets, but that was not enough to make his team win as other players did not give him a hand in the match.

GT vs KKR: Team Preview of Kolkata Knight Riders
They need to come together as a team and back each other in their next match against the defending champion Gujarat Titans, who will welcome them on their home turf after winning the two matches in Indian Premier League 2023. Kolkata Knight Riders signed Jason Roy after Shakib Al Hasan refused to play in the IPL, as he right now playing in the test match against Ireland.
Nitish Rana needs to be more confident and clear about his decisions and ideas because he lacked that in his first match. Mandeep Singh needs to show his skill which he mostly showed in the domestic and in the practice in which he was smashing down bowlers. Their bowling unit needs to be more economical, as they leaked many runs against the Punjab King’s side.
