Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans LIVE Score | IPL 2025 LIVE: Mohammed Siraj On The Money In 1st Over, KKR’s Opening Troubles Continue

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4, 6 Narine!

Sunil Narine to the party! Mohammed Siraj misses his mark on the first ball, full toss is dispatched through mid-wicket for 4. Next delivery, Narine gives himself room and heaves it over cover for a 6!

KKR 39/1 (4.2)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Rahane again!

Ajinkya Rahane is giving KKR momentum! Sunil Narine is yet to get going, so it is the KKR captain keeping the run rate up with a series of boundaries. 4 more to end Prasidh’s over, this one over covers. Mohammed Siraj, meanwhile, will be bowling a third over in a row.

KKR 29/1 (4)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4 more

Slapped down the ground for 4 by Ajinkya Rahane. Flat bat, one bounce and into the boundary. Prasidh Krishna started the over very well against Narine, but Rahane is keeping the KKR momentum going in the powerplay here.

KKR 25/1 (3.4)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4, Rahane!

Mohammed Siraj is bowling a great opening spell, and his second over was going to be a superb one too. But Rahane times the upper cut really well on the final ball of the over, and gets 4. 7 off the over, KKR not going fast early on.

KKR 20/1 (3)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4, Rahane!

Ajinkya Rahane, that is class! On the pads from Ishant, and Rahane flicks it away with grace. First boundary for him. Rahane has been in superb touch in IPL 2025, and with his team one wicket down, he needs to take responsibility in the chase.

KKR 13/1 (2)

KKR vs GT LIVE: FOUR!

First boundary for KKR, comes off the blade of Sunil Narine. He won’t hold back, he only has one gear! Ishant Sharma enters the attack and Narine slams him over mid-on first ball of the second over.

KKR 6/1 (1.1)

KKR vs GT LIVE: OUT!

Gurbaz is gone! Mohammed Siraj traps Gurbaz on the pads, and the umpire raises his finger straight away. Gurbaz has gone up with a DRS review, but it’s a waste! Three reds shows hawkeye, and KKR’s decision to bring in Gurbaz has gone wrong horribly.

KKR 2/1 (0.5)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Close, Siraj!

Rahmanullah Gurbaz comes down the track trying to hit it hard, but takes a big inside edge and he’s so lucky to not play it onto his stumps! Siraj has taken 11 wickets so far this season, and he’ll be a handful early on.

KKR 1/0 (0.3)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Narine-Gurbaz open for KKR

Kolkata Knight Riders are opening with Sunil Narine and Rahmanullah Gurbaz. KKR will hope that Narine give them a flier, but a lot of responsibility on Gurbaz, who has been brought in for an out-of-form Quinton de Kock.

GT bring on Ishant Sharma as the impact player, sub out Sherfane Rutherford.

Full Episode:

KKR vs GT LIVE: What a knock, Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill shows exactly why he’s regarded as one of the premier batting talents in the world. 90 runs off 55 balls against his former side KKR. A huge opening stand with Sai Sudharsan, as they negated the KKR spinners very well. How often do you see Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine go wicketless!

IPL 2025 LIVE: Big total for GT

Gujarat Titans will be really happy with this total. Sai Sudharsan admits as much, and says that they have given the GT bowlers a “very good score” to defend. KKR will need to bat out of their skin to successfully chase this down on a tricky Eden wicket.

KKR vs GT LIVE: SIX!

Poor ball by Vaibhav Arora, no control on it. High full toss and whacked away with ease by Shahrukh Khan, all the way for six over mid-wicket. Final ball of the innings, GT run two! 18 off the final over. 198 the total!

GT 198/3 (20 overs)

KKR Target: 199

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4, 4!

Vaibhav Arora misses his yorker by a small margin and Buttler plays a terrific shot to get 4! Digs it out of the blockhole and slams it through gully for 4. Next ball, same ball by Vaibhav, same shot by Buttler, same result!

GT 189/3 (19.3)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Great over by Harshit!

After being hit for 4 on the first ball, Harshit Rana comes back brilliantly. All in all, quite expensive today, but he has delivered a crucial over at the death. Vaibhav will bowl the final over of the innings. Can GT get 200?

GT 180/3 (19)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Harshit strikes!

A third wicket for KKR! Harshit Rana gets his first of the night. Slower ball by Rana, Tewatia comes down the track and tries to go big over the covers, just picks out Ramandeep Singh in the deep. GT have 9 balls to try and post 200+!

GT 177//3 (18.3)

IPL 2025 LIVE: GILL OUT!

Shubman Gill misses out on his century! By just 10 runs! Goes for the big shot, unselfish cricket, but a good sharp catch by Rinku Singh at deep mid-wicket. A knock to mark his return to form. The GT captain has shown his class against his former team.

GT 172/2 (17.5)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Gill in the 90s!

Shubman Gill enters the 90s! First a flat six between square leg and mid-wicket, and then slaps it through point for yet another boundary. 90 off 54 for Gill, GT are motoring towards a score of 200+!

GT 172/1 (17.4)

KKR vs GT LIVE: SIX!

Shubman Gill will not hold back any longer! Four in the previous over, now a maximum. Second of the evening for him, this one comes off Sunil Narine who is bowling his final over. Gill up to 79 now, and a century is definitely on the cards.

GT 160/1 (16.3)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 150 up for Gujarat Titans

4 overs to go, many misfields by KKR, and now GT have reached 150. Shubman Gill must be eyeing up a century now, he’s on 70. Chakravarthy goes wicketless today, 0/33 in 4 overs. He has been let down by his fielders too.

GT 151/1 (16)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Buttler dropped again!

Another one put down! This one was more difficult, Manish Pandey needed to time his dive well, but couldn’t hold on. Tough catch, but Buttler has been dropped yet again. Two lives for the Englishman. Ajinkya Rahane is stunned.

GT 141/2 (15.2)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 5 overs to go

Five overs to go for Gujarat Titans, as they aim for a total of 200 or above. Two batters are well-set, many wickets in hand. This is the perfect platform for GT to go berserk in the final 5 overs.

GT 139/1 (15)

KKR vs GT LIVE: DROPPED!

Big chance put down! Buttler goes for the big shot, completely mistimes it. Vaibhav Arora should’ve taken an easy catch at mid-off, had enough time to settle himself, but it pops out of his hands and into the fence for a 4. Huge let-off for Buttler. This could cost KKR big.

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4, Buttler

Slightly lucky here! Buttler mistimes yet another ramp, it comes off the back of the bat, but just clears Gurbaz and runs away for a boundary behind the keeper. Rana mixing things up with cutters and slower ones here.

GT 134/1 (14.3)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Good over by Varun

Varun Chakravarthy bowls a really tidy over, cools down the aggressive Jos Buttler. Only 3 runs come off it. Andre Russell has not been given another over, with Harshit Rana being given his third over by Rahane.

GT 129/1 (14)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Make that three in a row!

Jos Buttler goes for the ramp, mistimes it, but the top edge still runs away behind for 4. The over started off really well for KKR, but now Russell has leaked three fours in succession. Great start for Buttler, he’s set in immediately.

GT 126/1 (13)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4, 4 Buttler!

A man in form, a man with an excellent record against KKR, Jos Buttler is up and running with a boundary! Pulled through mid-wicket with authority, past the fielder in the circle. Next ball, dispatched through extra cover! Dancing down the track, one bounce into the fence.

GT 122/1 (12.5)

IPL 2025 LIVE: OUT!

Andre Russell strikes! Sai Sudhjarsan departs, caught behind! KKR’s gamble has worked, giving the ball to their X-factor Russell, who delivers yet again. The partnership has been broken at long last by the home side. Sai Sudharsan departs for 52.

GT 114/1 (12.2)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Fielding errors!

Kolkata Knight Riders are looking increasingly sloppy in the outfield. Gujarat Titans openers have posted a total more than CSK and PBKS managed in KKR’s previous two games. Both batters look well set to score big here.

GT 113/0 (12)

KKR vs GT LIVE: SIX! 50 for Sai Sudharsan

Sai Sudharsan gets to his half-century now. In 33 balls, this one. Harshit aims one on the leg-side and it’s picked up over fine-leg for six by Sai Sudharsan. Next ball, they run two and the southpaw gets to his landmark.

GT 104/0 (11)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 50 for Gill!

Fifty for Shubman Gill! The Gujarat Titans captain gets to the milestone in 34 balls. Nearly chops a slower ball by Rana onto his stumps, but survives. Takes a single, gets to his half-century. Good knock. Third fifty of IPL 2025 for Gill.

GT 96/0 (10.4)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4 more!

Sai Sudharsan into the 40s now! Bit of width offered, slower ball by Harshit Rana, too full and into the hitting arc of Sai Sudharsan. Both openers are motoring along really nicely here, and KKR seem a little short of answers.

GT 93/0 (10.1)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Gill up to 49

Shubman Gill is up to 49. Sunil Narine concedes 10 runs, with a no-ball at the end that Sai Sudharsan is unable to take advantage of. Gujarat Titans have laid the perfect foundation for a big total here. Jos Buttler and co. still to come!

GT 89/0 (10)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 11 off the over

11 runs off Varun Chakravarthy’s second over. Sai Sudharsan also gets a boundary after a long time. Gujarat Titans going at nearly 9 runs an over, and are yet to loose a wicket. The two openers are doing a fabulous job here.

GT 79/0 (9)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4 more!

Shubman Gill is going from strength to strength against his former side. Is unable to read a delivery by Varun, but then responds with a good shot slammed through square-leg for 4. Gill takes a single off the next ball, and is up to 46 now.

GT 74/0 (8.4)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Good over by Narine

Sunil Narine was brought into the attack by Ajinkya Rahane to put a brake on proceedings, and he delivers just that. Six singles in the over as Gill and Sai Sudharsan play it safe against Narine. Chakravarthy from the other end now.

GT 68/0 (8)

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans LIVE: Big milestone for Gill

Big milestone for Shubman Gill in that over! That six was Gill’s 150th in T20 cricket. Still growing into a better batter day-by-day, and expected to be India’s talisman for the future. He has accelerated after a slow start today, and is now well-set on 39 off 25.

GT 62/0 (7)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 6. 4. 4. GILL.

Shubman Gill accelerates! Moeen Ali has been handed a third over by Rahane, but this isn’t working out. First ball, clears mid-wicket for a maximum. Second one, cut away late through third man. Third one, flick of the wrists, gloriously through mid-wicket for 4 more.

17 comes off Moeen’s over, and Gujarat have now taken the run rate to nearly 9.

GT 62/0 (7)

KKR vs GT LIVE: End of the powerplay!

Gujarat Titans manage 45 runs in the powerplay. Not bad going, but nothing to set the world alight. The important bit for them would be that they haven’t lost a wicket yet. KKR bowlers, however, have done a good job so far.

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4!

Great shot by Gill once again. Varun Chakravarthy into the attack, and the GT captain takes charge. Beautiful cut shot, just past a diving Ramandeep Singh at point, and into the fence. Gill increasing his scoring rate bit by bit.

GT 42/0 (5.2)
