Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans LIVE Score | IPL 2025 LIVE: Ajinkya Rahane Departs, Eden Gardens Hopes For Rinku Singh-Andre Russell Miracle | Cricket News

KKR vs GT LIVE: RAHANE OUT!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. It goes from bad to worse for KKR. Washington tricks the KKR captain with a wide delivery, Rahane misses and gets stumped. KKR are 4-down. A big cheer from the Eden crowd as Andre Russell walks in, but he’ll have to play one of his superhuman knocks today.

KKR 91/4 (12.3)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 50 for Rahane!

Ajinkya Rahane gets to 50! Comes off 36 balls. He has been the sole warrior for KKR today in what has been a disappointing batting display around him. Can Rahane now switch gears and take KKR towards a miraculous victory?

KKR 89/3 (12.2)

KKR vs GT LIVE: GT extend chokehold

Gujarat Titans are now in an even stronger position. The required run-rate for KKR is over 14 now, and apart from Rahane, the KKR batters are barely able to time their shots and find the gaps. Rinku Singh is alongside him now.

KKR 86/3 (12)

KKR vs GT LIVE: OUT!

Venkatesh Iyer is out! That marks the end of a knock where Venkatesh looked completely out of sorts. 14 runs off 19 balls. Tries to go big off Sai Kishore, sends it straight to Washington Sundar who takes the catch. KKR in trouble.

KKR 84/3 (11.3)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 13 off the over

Rahane’s boundaries have ensured that this is KKR’s first over in a long time that is as per the required run rate. 13 off the over, Rahane is up to 45. KKR’s batting is struggling as a whole, but their captain continues to be a dependable run-scorer.

KKR 81/2 (11)

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans LIVE: FOUR! SIX!

Ajinkya Rahane picks Washington Sundar over the covers, nearly gets a six, but it is one bounce and into the boundary ropes. Venkatesh Iyer continues to struggle. And now SIX! Ajinkya Rahane enters the 40s. Slammed over mid-wicket for a maximum, sweet sound off the bat.

KKR 80/2 (10.5)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Iyer really struggling

Venkatesh Iyer is struggling massively against the Gujarat Titans spinners. He is on 11 off 15 balls, and is yet to pick up a boundary. KKR are losing track of the run chase bit by bit, with the asking rate now over 13.

KKR 68/2 (10)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 8 runs off the over

Washington Sundar brought into the attack by Shubman Gill, and bowls a tidy over. Rahane and Venkatesh had placed a shot each well, but both times GT stopped the boundary with some excellent fielding in the deep.

KKR 61/2 (9)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Rashid, wow

Is this Rashid Khan’s day? This man has an IPL hattrick against KKR, and right now, he is choking the KKR batting lineup. One wicket and just 5 runs conceded in his two overs. Asking rate for KKR now above 12.

KKR 53/2 (8)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Venkatesh Iyer survives!

A long DRS check for Venkatesh Iyer, but he survives! Trapped on the pads, umpire gave not out, Rashid Khan urged Shubman Gill to go up for the review. Hawkeye says umpire’s call, and Venkatesh survives by the skin of his teeth.

KKR 51/2 (7.2)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Another excellent over

Prasidh Krishna continues the good momentum for the table-toppers. Only 5 runs come off the 7th over. Rahane’s big shots aren’t clicking and Venkatesh Iyer is looking a little out of touch. Required run-rate is creeping up towards 12 now.

KKR 50/2 (7)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Powerplay ends

Gujarat Titans firmly on the front foot at the end of the powerplay. Two wickets down, both KKR openers back in the hut. The men in purple are not even going at 8 runs an over, and required run-rate has climbed up to almost 11.

Onus now on Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer. Can the Rs 23.75 crore man deliver?

KKR 45/2 (6)

KKR vs GT LIVE: OUT!

Rashid Khan delivers! Sunil Narine is gone! Poor ball, but Narine was cramped on his crease. Went for a whip, sends it straight to Rahul Tewatia at square leg. Big wicket for GT, KKR on the back foot now.

KKR 43/2 (5.3)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Siraj ends well

Mohammed Siraj completes the over well. Gives a sharp bouncer to Sunil Narine, and then one swinging away. Two dots to finish. 1/21 in three overs, he’ll come back later for one more. KKR now need more than 10 runs an over.

KKR 42/1 (5)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4, 6 Narine!

Sunil Narine to the party! Mohammed Siraj misses his mark on the first ball, full toss is dispatched through mid-wicket for 4. Next delivery, Narine gives himself room and heaves it over cover for a 6! 

KKR 39/1 (4.2)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Rahane again!

Ajinkya Rahane is giving KKR momentum! Sunil Narine is yet to get going, so it is the KKR captain keeping the run rate up with a series of boundaries. 4 more to end Prasidh’s over, this one over covers. Mohammed Siraj, meanwhile, will be bowling a third over in a row.

KKR 29/1 (4)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4 more

Slapped down the ground for 4 by Ajinkya Rahane. Flat bat, one bounce and into the boundary. Prasidh Krishna started the over very well against Narine, but Rahane is keeping the KKR momentum going in the powerplay here.

KKR 25/1 (3.4)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4, Rahane!

Mohammed Siraj is bowling a great opening spell, and his second over was going to be a superb one too. But Rahane times the upper cut really well on the final ball of the over, and gets 4. 7 off the over, KKR not going fast early on.

KKR 20/1 (3)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4, Rahane!

Ajinkya Rahane, that is class! On the pads from Ishant, and Rahane flicks it away with grace. First boundary for him. Rahane has been in superb touch in IPL 2025, and with his team one wicket down, he needs to take responsibility in the chase.

KKR 13/1 (2)

KKR vs GT LIVE: FOUR!

First boundary for KKR, comes off the blade of Sunil Narine. He won’t hold back, he only has one gear! Ishant Sharma enters the attack and Narine slams him over mid-on first ball of the second over. 

KKR 6/1 (1.1)

KKR vs GT LIVE: OUT!

Gurbaz is gone! Mohammed Siraj traps Gurbaz on the pads, and the umpire raises his finger straight away. Gurbaz has gone up with a DRS review, but it’s a waste! Three reds shows hawkeye, and KKR’s decision to bring in Gurbaz has gone wrong horribly.

KKR 2/1 (0.5)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Close, Siraj!

Rahmanullah Gurbaz comes down the track trying to hit it hard, but takes a big inside edge and he’s so lucky to not play it onto his stumps! Siraj has taken 11 wickets so far this season, and he’ll be a handful early on.

KKR 1/0 (0.3)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Narine-Gurbaz open for KKR

Kolkata Knight Riders are opening with Sunil Narine and Rahmanullah Gurbaz. KKR will hope that Narine give them a flier, but a lot of responsibility on Gurbaz, who has been brought in for an out-of-form Quinton de Kock. 

GT bring on Ishant Sharma as the impact player, sub out Sherfane Rutherford.

Full Episode: 

KKR vs GT LIVE: What a knock, Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill shows exactly why he’s regarded as one of the premier batting talents in the world. 90 runs off 55 balls against his former side KKR. A huge opening stand with Sai Sudharsan, as they negated the KKR spinners very well. How often do you see Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine go wicketless!

IPL 2025 LIVE: Big total for GT

Gujarat Titans will be really happy with this total. Sai Sudharsan admits as much, and says that they have given the GT bowlers a “very good score” to defend. KKR will need to bat out of their skin to successfully chase this down on a tricky Eden wicket.

KKR vs GT LIVE: SIX!

Poor ball by Vaibhav Arora, no control on it. High full toss and whacked away with ease by Shahrukh Khan, all the way for six over mid-wicket. Final ball of the innings, GT run two! 18 off the final over. 198 the total!

GT 198/3 (20 overs)

KKR Target: 199

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4, 4!

Vaibhav Arora misses his yorker by a small margin and Buttler plays a terrific shot to get 4! Digs it out of the blockhole and slams it through gully for 4. Next ball, same ball by Vaibhav, same shot by Buttler, same result!

GT 189/3 (19.3)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Great over by Harshit!

After being hit for 4 on the first ball, Harshit Rana comes back brilliantly. All in all, quite expensive today, but he has delivered a crucial over at the death. Vaibhav will bowl the final over of the innings. Can GT get 200?

GT 180/3 (19)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Harshit strikes!

A third wicket for KKR! Harshit Rana gets his first of the night. Slower ball by Rana, Tewatia comes down the track and tries to go big over the covers, just picks out Ramandeep Singh in the deep. GT have 9 balls to try and post 200+!

GT 177//3 (18.3)

IPL 2025 LIVE: GILL OUT!

Shubman Gill misses out on his century! By just 10 runs! Goes for the big shot, unselfish cricket, but a good sharp catch by Rinku Singh at deep mid-wicket. A knock to mark his return to form. The GT captain has shown his class against his former team.

GT 172/2 (17.5)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Gill in the 90s!

Shubman Gill enters the 90s! First a flat six between square leg and mid-wicket, and then slaps it through point for yet another boundary. 90 off 54 for Gill, GT are motoring towards a score of 200+! 

GT 172/1 (17.4)

KKR vs GT LIVE: SIX!

Shubman Gill will not hold back any longer! Four in the previous over, now a maximum. Second of the evening for him, this one comes off Sunil Narine who is bowling his final over. Gill up to 79 now, and a century is definitely on the cards.

GT 160/1 (16.3)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 150 up for Gujarat Titans

4 overs to go, many misfields by KKR, and now GT have reached 150. Shubman Gill must be eyeing up a century now, he’s on 70. Chakravarthy goes wicketless today, 0/33 in 4 overs. He has been let down by his fielders too.

GT 151/1 (16)

IPL 2025 LIVE: Buttler dropped again!

Another one put down! This one was more difficult, Manish Pandey needed to time his dive well, but couldn’t hold on. Tough catch, but Buttler has been dropped yet again. Two lives for the Englishman. Ajinkya Rahane is stunned.

GT 141/2 (15.2)

KKR vs GT LIVE: 5 overs to go

Five overs to go for Gujarat Titans, as they aim for a total of 200 or above. Two batters are well-set, many wickets in hand. This is the perfect platform for GT to go berserk in the final 5 overs. 

GT 139/1 (15)

KKR vs GT LIVE: DROPPED!

Big chance put down! Buttler goes for the big shot, completely mistimes it. Vaibhav Arora should’ve taken an easy catch at mid-off, had enough time to settle himself, but it pops out of his hands and into the fence for a 4. Huge let-off for Buttler. This could cost KKR big.

KKR vs GT LIVE: 4, Buttler

Slightly lucky here! Buttler mistimes yet another ramp, it comes off the back of the bat, but just clears Gurbaz and runs away for a boundary behind the keeper. Rana mixing things up with cutters and slower ones here. 

GT 134/1 (14.3)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Good over by Varun

Varun Chakravarthy bowls a really tidy over, cools down the aggressive Jos Buttler. Only 3 runs come off it. Andre Russell has not been given another over, with Harshit Rana being given his third over by Rahane.

GT 129/1 (14)

KKR vs GT LIVE: Make that three in a row!

Jos Buttler goes for the ramp, mistimes it, but the top edge still runs away behind for 4. The over started off really well for KKR, but now Russell has leaked three fours in succession. Great start for Buttler, he’s set in immediately.

GT 126/1 (13)
