Miller is on the move and Hardik is well set on 63. Titans are 127/2 after 15 overs and they could easily target 60 runs in these last five overs. At least one of these two will have to bat till the end though.


50 for the skipper


Third fifty in a row. Hardik Pandya is really delivering with the bat for the Titans as he brings up another half-century. This is the best he has batted in his IPL career. The promotion has helped his side and will definitely now help him regain his spot in the Indian side one would imagine.

Hardik in good touch


He is resuming from where he left and today, he has an opportunity to really make it count as he gets to bat at 3. Hardik Pandya is the key for Titans and alongside Saha, he has guided GT to a safe position after the powerplay. Will be interesting to see how he handles the spinners now.

Early strike


Gill's struggles continue. What a turnaround this is for him after almost scoring back-to-back centuries. And he will be kicking himself today for this dismissal. This was down the leg side and he nudged it behind to the keeper. Should have just left it alone. Early strike for KKR.


Toss - Titans opt to bat


Hardik Pandya returns and he wins the toss. Gujarat Titans want to put up a score on the board in a day game and that does make sense. He replaces Vijay Shankar in the Titans' XI. As far as KKR are concerned, there are multiple changes there. Sam Billings is back and so is Tim Southee. Aaron Finch and Pat Cummins are out of the XI. That's a big call but Shreyas Iyer did mention that they have a few niggles. Rinku Singh gets a game too in place of Sheldon Jackson.


Teams:


Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): Venkatesh Iyer, Sunil Narine, Shreyas Iyer(c), Nitish Rana, Sam Billings(w), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Tim Southee, Shivam Mavi, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy


Gujarat Titans (Playing XI): Wriddhiman Saha(w), Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya(c), Abhinav Manohar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Alzarri Joseph, Lockie Ferguson, Yash Dayal, Mohammed Shami
