Having won nine games out of 12, KKR are currently leading the IPL 2024 standings. On the other hand, GT are reeling at the eighth position in the IPL 2024 standings with ten points on the board after winning five out of 12 matches. Ahead of another exciting clash between these teams, we look at the predicted XIs of both sides.

GT Predicted XI

Shubman Gill (captain)

Shubman Gill’s performance with the bat will be crucial in driving the Gujarat Titans to a rapid start against KKR. The GT captain has amassed 426 runs in 12 matches, scoring a magnificent hundred in the last match against CSK. He will be eager to deliver again on Monday.

Sai Sudharsan

Sai Sudharsan has been the standout performer in the batting lineup of Gujarat Titans. With an average of 47.91, the top-order batter has amassed 527 runs in 12 matches. Sudharsan’s performance will be crucial in guiding GT to a formidable score against KKR.

Matthew Wade (wicketkeeper)

Matthew Wade will take on the wicketkeeping responsibility for GT in the absence of Wriddhiman Saha. Due to limited opportunities, Wade has not performed well this season. The wicketkeeper batter will be determined to find his form and hammer KKR’s bowlers at home.

Shahrukh Khan

Shahrukh Khan could prove to be a key middle-order batter for GT. Due to limited game time, he has scored 127 runs in just seven matches. His impressive strike rate of 169.33 indicates that the all-rounder could deliver an exceptional knock soon.

David Miller

The inclusion of David Miller in the playing XI will provide valuable support to GT’s top-order batters. The South African batter possesses a healthy strike rate of 151.08 and has scored 210 runs in nine matches. A crucial player for GT, Miller will aim to make a significant contribution against KKR on Monday.

Rahul Tewatia

Rahul Tewatia played a quick-fire 35 against RCB. He has scored 188 runs in 12 matches this season with a strike rate of 145.74. The southpaw will aim to produce another important knock for GT in the upcoming fixture.

Rashid Khan

Afghan leg-break bowler Rashid Khan will be key in the spin department for GT. Rashid hasn’t had the biggest impact with the ball during IPL 2024, having taken ten wickets in 12 matches, but he has chipped in with the bat with his 102 runs at a strike rate of 143.66.

Noor Ahmad

Noor Ahmad is in great form this season and will look to bamboozle KKR with his spin variations. With eight wickets in ten matches and an economy rate of 8.32, the young chinaman bowler will be primed to provide vital breakthroughs and restrict KKR’s formidable batting lineup to a lesser total.

Mohit Sharma

Mohit Sharma brings a wealth of experience in high-pressure situations for GT. The leading wicket-taker for Gujarat this season, Mohit has taken 13 wickets in 12 matches and will be keen to be among the wickets against KKR

Umesh Yadav

Umesh Yadav will lead the pace attack of GT against KKR. Umesh has taken eight wickets in just seven matches. He will try to produce early breakthroughs for his team on Monday.

Kartik Tyagi

Kartik Tyagi played his first match of this IPL season against Chennai. He was a bit expensive and could not contribute more. The youngster will try to prove his worth on Monday against KKR.

KKR Predicted XI

Phil Salt

Englishman Phil Salt has been in spectacular form for KKR this season and has provided them with blitzkrieg starts as an opener. A destructive batter, Salt has made 435 runs in 12 IPL 2024 games with an average of 39.55 and a strike rate of 182.01.

Sunil Narine

After a few lean IPL seasons with the bat, Sunil Narine has looked in splendid touch as a batter. Averaging 38.42, he has smashed 461 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 182.94 this year. He’s also claimed 15 wickets and is one of KKR’s go-to players this season.

Shreyas Iyer

KKR captain Shreyas Iyer has had a topsy-turvy season but remains a crucial player for the team in the middle order. Iyer has scored 287 runs in 12 games at an average of 31.89 and will be raring to go against GT.

Venkatesh Iyer

Even though he’s had limited time with the bat in the middle, Venkatesh Iyer has still managed to make two fifties this season. The southpaw has scored 267 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 149.16. Iyer’s match-winning 42 in just 21 balls against Mumbai prevented KKR from a sudden collapse. He will try to replicate the same form again in Ahmedabad.

Nitish Rana

Nitish Rana’s comeback will be a huge boost for KKR. The southpaw played just his second match of this season against Mumbai and scored a crucial 33-run knock, including four boundaries and one six. He will be eager to contribute more on Monday against GT.

Rinku Singh

While Rinku Singh hasn’t set this IPL season alight like he has done in the past, the hard-hitting left-hander has managed to produce a few impactful cameos for the team. He has made 168 runs at a strike rate of 148.67 and will have a role to play as a finisher against GT.

Andre Russell

A match-winner with both bat and ball, Andre Russell has produced impressive performances, having led KKR to multiple wins already this season. He has scored 222 runs at an average of 31.71 and a brilliant strike rate of 185. Russell has also taken 15 wickets, making him one of KKR’s most important players.

Ramandeep Singh

All-rounder Ramandeep Singh has done well in his limited time at the crease. He’s scored his runs at a strike rate of 201.61 and is capable of chipping in with the ball as well, making him an integral member of the team.

Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc hasn’t been at his best in IPL 2024 and has conceded quite a few runs in 11 games so far. His 12 wickets have come at a price, but the fact that he has bowled in pressure circumstances cannot be overlooked. His match-defining four-wicket haul against MI was crucial for KKR, and he will try to do that again in front on Monday against GT.

Varun Chakravarthy

Spinner Varun Chakravarthy has taken 18 wickets in IPL 2024, the most by any KKR bowler this season. He will strive to increase his purple cap race tally and expect to outperform GT batters on Monday.

Harshit Rana

Fast bowler Harshit Rana seems to be having a decent IPL season so far. The right-arm pacer has taken 16 wickets in ten matches and will be hoping to be at his best against GT.
