KKR vs GT Predicted Top Performers: 

GT have two of their top-order batters in the orange cap race. Sai Sudharsan has been consistent with 365 runs from seven games whereas Jos Buttler has scored 315 runs from as many appearances. In the previous game, Buttler's unbeaten 97 helped GT pull off a record-breaking run chase against DC. Buttler has two centuries at the venue as well. In the bowling department, their pacer Prasidh Krishna is leading the purple cap race with 14 wickets from seven matches. Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore has 11 wickets from seven games but Shubman Gill may not use him much considering the amount of left-handed batters in KKR batting lineup. In addition, Mohammed Siraj has 11 wickets from seven games as well.

KKR's big-hitters have not come to the party yet. Skipper Rahane is their top run-scorer with 221 runs from seven innings. The ploy of opening the batting with Sunil Narine has not worked for them either. There may be a shuffle in the batting order when KKR take on GT. In the bowling department, mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy and pacer Harshit Rana have 10 wickets each. They need Narine to pick crucial wickets. Rahane may look to introduce him in the powerplay overs. 

KKR vs GT Win Probability 

The two sides have gone up against each other three times. Their only clash in the previous season was abandoned due to rain in Ahmedabad. The last time GT came to the Eden Gardens, they won by seven wickets. KKR's only win in three encounters came in Ahmedabad. It was venkatesh Iyer who scored 83 runs from 40 balls and then Rinku Singh who played the role of finisher with unbeaten 21-ball 48.
