Pitch Report
Analysis
Throughout the 2024 season, Kolkata Knight Riders have stuck to their free-flowing aggressive style and are poised to make the final. West Indian great Sunil Narine has been the MVP as he has scored over 400 runs at a strike rate close to 200 and ensured KKR have the perfect start. Following Narine, the batting has scored quick runs and dominated so far. Similarly in the bowling department, the West Indian has perfectly led the spin attack while the fast bowlers have made gradual improvements through the season.
Talking about the Gujarat Titans, the 2022 IPL champions have seemingly struggled throughout the 2024 season, but their previous result showcased their potential. The GT batting has struggled to score runs, barring Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan. Similarly, the bowling has also struggled but still has shown a lot of promise with their spinners like Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad, who have consistently performed for the Titans.
