The clash gains significance with KKR desperate to bounce back from a shock defeat in their previous game, where they were bundled out for 95 while chasing a modest target of 112 against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur.
The return of Abhishek Nayar to the KKR dugout as part of the support staff is expected to lift team morale. However, they face a stern test against table-toppers Gujarat Titans, who have registered five wins in seven games so far. With Prasidh Krishna and R Sai Kishore leading a disciplined bowling unit, GT have looked balanced and in control across venues.
