IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans, match 35
The Gujarat Titans will face the Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2022 Match 35 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. The Shreyas Iyer-led team is coming off a close loss to Rajasthan Royals and has lost all three of their previous games. The bowling lineup needs to be re-evaluated after conceding a lot of runs in the last few games, but the playing XI is likely to remain the same.
Gujarat Titans, on the other side, have been the best team in the first half of the season, excelling in all three sectors. Each player has stepped up in different games, and David Miller's form has helped the Hardik Pandya-led team address a lot of batting concerns this season. While the skipper is likely to return to the playing XI at the cost of Yash Dayal, Vijay Shankar will undoubtedly require some runs.
