GT vs KKR Dream11 Prediction, IPL 2024, Match 63: Gujarat Titans vs Kolkata Knight Riders playing XI, fantasy team and squads

The table toppers Kolkata Knight Riders will take on the ‘struggling’ and ‘number 8’ Gujarat Titans in an almost ‘dead rubber’ in the 63rd match of the ongoing IPL 2024. KKR has already qualified for the playoff stage of the tournament with a win against Mumbai Indians in the 60th game of the tournament.

KKR are in the first spot of the points table with 9 wins and 3 defeats in the 12 matches they have played so far, registering 18 points to their name. On the other hand, GT is in the 8th spot with only 5 wins and 7 defeats in the 12 matches they have played.

Pitch Report

The surface at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has been very supportive for the batters so far in the Indian Premier League, especially in the second innings. The team batting first has won 15 matches here in comparison to the 18 matches won by the team batting second.

Talking about the toss, it might not have much significance on the result of the match as the toss-winning team has won 16 matches while the toss-losing team has won 17 matches, just a game more than the team winning the toss here. The captain winning the toss might opt to bowl first to chase down the target comfortably in the second innings.

Top Players for GT vs KKR Dream11 Match

Top Players – Gujarat Titans

Sai Sudharsan – The star batter has been in sensational form for GT in the ongoing IPL 2024 so far; he is also the leading run-scorer for his side in the tournament, scoring 527 runs in 12 innings, with 1 not-out, having an average of 47.90 and a strike rate of 141.28, hitting a century and 2 half-centuries.

Shubman Gill – The in-form opener and young GT skipper has been in brilliant form of late in the last couple of matches. He was one of the two centurions in GT’s last game, alongside his opening partner Sai Sudharsan. He has scored 426 runs in 12 innings in the 12 matches he has played so far for his side in IPL 2024, hitting a century and half-centuries.

Top Players – Kolkata Knight Riders

Sunil Narine – The only consistent performer for KKR both with the bat and the ball in the ongoing IPL 2024 has impressed everyone with his sensational outings in the tournament so far. However, he had a rare golden duck in the last game against MI but still, he is one of the top players to watch out for in the game against GT. Narine has scored 461 runs in 12 innings with the bat, having an average of 38.41 and a strike rate of 182.93 while he has also scalped 15 wickets with the ball in 12 innings.

Varun Chakravarthy – The star spinner has been very impressive with the ball in the 12 innings he has played so far, scalping 18 wickets, with an economy rate of 8.34 and a strike rate of 14.66, including the best performance of 3 wickets at the cost just 16 runs in a match.

GT vs KKR Must Picks for Dream11 Cricket

Sai Sudharsan – GT’s in-form top-order batter could be one of the impactful performers with the bat in the GT vs KKR clash. Considering his current batting form and a century in the last game against MI, Sudharsan could be one of the must-picks in the fantasy team for the GT vs KKR match.

Sunil Narine – Be it batting or bowling, Sunil Narine has left his impact in both the departments for GT in the ongoing IPL 2024 so far. So, even if he fails in any one department, Narine can be picked in the fantasy team to perform in both batting and bowling departments.

Suggested Playing XI No. 1 for GT vs KKR Dream11 Cricket Fantasy

Sunil Narine (C), Mohit Sharma (VC), Phil Salt, Rinku Singh, Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Andre Russell, Rashid Khan, Varun Chakravarthy, Noor Ahmad, and Harshit Rana.

Suggested Playing XI No. 2 for GT vs KKR Dream11 Cricket Fantasy

Andre Russell (C), Rashid Khan (VC), Phil Salt, Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Sunil Narine, Mohit Sharma, Varun Chakravarthy, and Noor Ahmad.

GT vs KKR Risky Captaincy Choices

Rinku Singh – The young KKR middle-order batter can be picked in the fantasy team owing to his brilliant hitting abilities. But it will not be a wise move to pick him as the captain of the fantasy team considering his ‘average’ batting outings in the tournament so far as he has scored 168 runs in 11 innings with a ‘below-par’ average of 18.66.

Mohit Sharma – The star GT pacer has been the leading wicket-taker for his side in the ongoing IPL 2024 so he can be a good choice as a bowler in the fantasy team. But on the other hand, considering his economy rate of 10.89, it might not be preferable to make him the captain of the fantasy team.
