GT vs KKR: Current Form and Team Standings
The last year hasn’t been kind to KKR as they sit in eighth place in the IPL 2026 table after winning just four out of eleven games. KKR was further hurt by their recent loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Gujarat Titans, however, have had a very successful year as well, currently placing second in the league with eight wins out of twelve matches, and also riding a five game winning streak. A victory against KKR would guarantee GT’s playoff spot and be the first team to do so this year.
