The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will host the Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 60 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on May 16.

The Knight Riders faced a heavy defeat against the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their last game, and will enter this encounter under immense pressure. If they lose, they will get eliminated from the competition.

GT, on the other hand, are an in-form side, having won five of their last five matches. So, with things at stake for both the sides, this promises to be a cracking encounter.

The most expensive overseas player in IPL history, Cameron Green, will go up against one of IPL’s greatest players, Rashid Khan, in this intriguing faceoff. Green will come in at number 4 for KKR, and this is the exact phase when Rashid operates for GT with the ball in hand.

The Afghan spinner is finally delivering with the ball after a few quiet seasons for GT. He has picked up 16 wickets so far, and can pose a great challenge against Green. The Aussie, on the other hand, has scored 264 runs.
