Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be desperate for a win as they take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 60 of the Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL 2026) on Saturday, May 16, at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. KKR lost their last fixture against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and are on the brink of elimination from the competition.

The Ajinkya Rahane-led side must win the upcoming game to stay alive in the playoffs race. On the other hand, Gujarat are riding high on momentum, having won their last five fixtures on the trot. The Shubman Gill-led side has one foot firmly placed in the playoffs, and another victory will seal their spot in the final four. Moreover, the victory will also catapult them to the top of the IPL 2026 points table.
