Kolkata Knight Riders are all set to face off against Gujarat Titans today at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. KKR became the first team to be selected for the playoffs this season after their match against Mumbai IndiansÂ
KKR holds the top spot at the points table with 18 points while GT is at the third last spot on the table with 10 points to their name.
Toss delayed in KKR vs GT
The toss of the mega clash between the two teams has been delayed due to heavy rain in Ahmedabad. The match is GT’s final home-match for the season after which they will be playing in other grounds.
Hosted team KKR is on cloud nine for being able to secure a seat in the IPL playoffs for the first time in three years as they gear up to face the struggling Gujarat Titans.
The Knights faced downpour in their last match too
The rainfall seems to be destined for Kolkata, as it is their second consecutive match whose toss has been delayed due to the natural process.
Kolkata had played against Mumbai Indians last week, at Eden Gardens and the match had to be cut short to 16 overs because the toss could only take place at 9:00 pm due to the delay.
KKR won that match to get the earliest ticket for the playoffs of IPL 2024, attaining 18 points on the way.
