Captain Shubman Gill, a former Knight Rider himself, seeks to build on his recent century and lead his team to victory against his former franchise.
Gill, alongside B. Sai Sudharsan, will be pivotal in setting the tone for the Titans, with hopes pinned on Rashid Khan to deliver a decisive blow against the league leaders.
Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders contemplate strategic adjustments, considering pairing Rahmanullah Gurbaz, a former Titan, alongside Sunil Narine at the top order in place of England’s Phil Salt, who is poised to join his national squad after the league stage.
