Following a five-wicket triumph over the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the Gujarat Titans have moved closer to the peak of the IPL 2026 points table. Led by an authoritative 86 runs off 50 balls from captain Shubman Gill, GT successfully pursued a 181 run target, sealing the win with only two deliveries remaining. In contrast, the outcome highlighted a season where nothing has gone according to plan for the Kolkata Knight Riders.
Gujarat Titans have secured victories in three of their five appearances this season. Meanwhile, Kolkata remains the sole winless franchise in IPL 2026, having suffered five defeats in six matches, with their remaining fixture resulting in a washout. This victory marked a third straight win for Gujarat, while Kolkata’s difficult winless run has now reached six games.
