00:02Welcome to an electrifying IPL 2026 clash at the magnificent Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
00:12The Gujarat Titans, riding high on momentum, faced the struggling Kolkata Knight Riders in what promised to be a high
00:20-scoring encounter.
00:21The atmosphere was electric, fans packed the stands, the floodlights were blazing, and cricket lovers knew they were in for
00:30something special.
00:31In a match that had everything from explosive batting to brilliant bowling, it was the Titans who emerged victorious, continuing
00:39their winning streak and climbing the IPL 2026 points table.
00:51Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and made the decision to bat first, hoping to post a massive total on
00:59their home away ground.
01:00The move backfired almost immediately as Gujarat Titans' bowling attack struck with precision.
01:07Opening the batting were Tim Seifert and Ajinkya Rahane for KKR.
01:12But Rahane, the experienced veteran, couldn't get off the mark.
01:16Mohamed Siraj produced a brilliant over, dismissing him for a golden duck.
01:21The early loss sent shockwaves through the KKR camp.
01:25Young and Krish Raghuvanshi, full of confidence, walked in but lasted just eight runs before Kagiso Rabada's exceptional bowling did
01:34the trick.
01:35The South African pacer was unplayable, and Kolkata found themselves in deep trouble at 37-for-3.
01:42Then came the Cameron Green show.
01:45The Australian all-rounder, playing his first IPL 2026 match, looked completely different from the start.
01:53He attacked from ball one, finding the gaps and timing the ball perfectly.
01:58Green was absolutely venomous against GT's bowlers.
02:01He smashed Prasid Krishna in the 12th over for 6-4, then continued the assault on Ashok Sharma, hitting two
02:09massive sixes to bring up his maiden half-century of IPL 2026.
02:15The partnership with Robman Powell was the highlight.
02:18Both players kept finding boundaries, with Powell particularly destructive.
02:23He hit two massive sixes off consecutive balls, one off Krishna and one off Sharma.
02:29Green finished with a magnificent 79 off 55 balls, showcasing his power hitting and timing.
02:36His second-highest IPL score, after his unbeaten 100 in 2023, showed why he's one of the most destructive batsmen
02:45in world cricket.
02:46With the ball, Kagiso Rabada was the star.
02:50He finished with three wickets, including key breakthroughs.
02:53Suraj and Sharma both got two wickets each, while Prasid Krishna and Rashid Khan chipped in with one each.
03:08Gujarat Titans began their chase with intent.
03:11Shubman Gill and Sai Sudarsan opened the innings, and they showed no fear against the KKR attack.
03:17The opening partnership was crucial.
03:20They took KKR completely out of the game.
03:23GT made a solid start, picking up nine runs off Vaibhav Aurora's opening over.
03:29They continued the momentum with 11 runs off Kartik Tiagi's next over.
03:34The partnership was flowing beautifully, with both batsmen looking comfortable.
03:38The third over was explosive.
03:41Gill and Sudarsan attacked Anukul Roy, smashing 20 runs in a single over.
03:46The KKR bowler had no answers, as the Titans batsmen took complete control of the game.
03:53Veteran spinner Sunil Narain brought things back in the fourth over, bowling economically and conceding just five runs.
04:00But the damage was already done.
04:03GT were in complete control.
04:05The power play was a master class from GT.
04:09They reached 71 for one in just six overs, with Gill looking particularly menacing.
04:14They ended the power play on 71 for one, putting KKR completely on the back foot.
04:22Sudarsan fell for 22, but Joss Butler walked in and immediately made an impact.
04:27The Englishman attacked Narain, smacking him for fours in a six, showing why he's such a valuable T20 player.
04:35Butler played a crucial cameo of 25 runs, but his dismissal changed the game slightly.
04:43Chakuravarthi got the better of him, dismissing him in the 10th over.
04:47It was the seventh time he had dismissed Butler in T20 cricket.
04:51And then came the showstopper, Shubman Gill's innings.
04:55He reached his 50 in just 27 balls, showcasing why he's called one of the best young batsmen in world
05:03cricket.
05:03Gill continued to dominate.
05:05He hit sixes off Chakuravarthi in the 12th over, then faced a tight over from Narain, who finished with figures
05:12of 1 for 28 in four overs.
05:15Gill was the only threat at this point.
05:17The 15th over saw some resistance from GT's lower order, with Sundar scoring 13 before being dismissed by Chakuravarthi, who
05:26also completed 100 IPL wickets for KKR.
05:30Only the third player to achieve this milestone, after Narain and Russell.
05:36Gill was eventually dismissed for 86 off 50 balls in the 17th over.
05:41Viber Aurora struck with a cracking delivery, and the GT captain couldn't get the big hit off the bat.
05:48The crowd fell silent.
05:50But Glenn Phillips wasn't done.
05:52He tried to finish the match in the final over, looking for a six to win the game.
05:57He played a brilliant cameo of 19 runs, keeping GT in the hunt until the very end.
06:03Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan then sealed the victory in the final over, with GT winning by five wickets and
06:11four overs to spare.
06:13What a match!
06:14Gujarat Titans continued their brilliant form with their third straight victory in IPL 2026,
06:20moving to six points from five games, and climbing to fourth position in the points table.
