IPL 2022, KKR vs GT: Kolkata Knight Riders have task cut out against Gujarat Titans

Kolkata Knight Riders. The side that was highly spoken of by experts in the early part of the tournament after their rollicking start, is suddenly in a state of free fall, suffering a hat-trick of defeats. They will have to rectify a lot of aspects in order to bring their campaign back on track as they face the high-flying Gujarat Titans at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai in an afternoon match on Saturday. It might sound a bit strange, but the experienced two-time IPL champions will start as underdogs against the new entrants who are sitting pretty on the points table, having lost only one of their six matches. With a number of their key players failing to fire, the main challenge for the KKR management is perhaps to find able replacements, which they sadly lack. Going by present form, they could replace Pat Cummins and Varun Chakravarthy. Both their frontline bowlers have not only failed to provide breakthroughs — picking up just four wickets in seven matches — but have been leaking runs in buckets too.
