Gujarat Titans have been the successful team in this IPL 2023, winning two out of two games. And they are all set to take on KKR at their home, Ahmedabad, in the 13th game of this IPL. KKR didn’t get the start they expected, but what they did against RCB in their last game was dominating. All three spinners of KKR did their part in a terrific way to register their first win of this tournament. This clash against the mighty GT will be a great test of character for KKR.

Pitch Report
A good batting wicket. But it will also have good support for pacers as the home side GT is filled with good pace bowlers.
What to Expect?
Since it is going to be pacer friendly pitch, GT will obviously have the advantage to dominate the KKR batters. On the other side, KKR’s fast bowlers needs to be too accurate to get the batters of GT.

Fantasy Picks for the GT vs KKR Match
Captain : S Gill
S Gill’s current form is playing a main role for GT in capitalising their champions tag. Because this young Indian opener is too strong in his technique and it is paying off right now.
Vice captain : Rashid Khan
R Khan is doing what he usually does. And it is far enough to make a huge impact gor his team.
Batsmen : S Gill, S Sudharsan
S Sudharsan is the man in form. Do not miss him.
Wicketkeepers: W Saha, R Gurbaz
Both these wicket keepers open the innings for their respective sides. And they have the huge opportunity to make it big.
All rounders : A Russell, V Shankar, H Pandya
A Russell and H Pandya are equally important for their sides, for the kind of innings they build with the bat.
V Shankar seems to be in great touch and he is definitely going to continue his form.
Bowlers : S Thakur, M Shami, R Khan, V Chakravarthi
S Thakur’s unbelievable performance in the last game gives him an obvious chance.
Shami is a kind of bowler who can bowl well at any dead wicket with his seam presentation and speed. This time the wicket supports pace bowling and we can’t think of anyone better than Shami.
V Chakravarthi has come back from the odds that he went through. His last two games looked so promising.

Key Players
Gurbaz, the KKR opener, is easily the key player for his side and has been the consistent batter. If he can get the right support from the other top-order batters around him, he can play his natural game and score big.
With GT concerned, Mohammed Shami has consistently picked wickets at the beginning overs. If the opposition batters can see him through and, in the best cases, score runs against him, it will be a different challenge for Hardik Pandya.
