Fantasy XI Tips: Gujarat Titans (GT) vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Match 13, IPL 2023

Fantasy XI tips and guide for all the fans for the 13th match of IPL 2023 between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

The defending champions, Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on 9th April in match no. 13 of IPL 2023 at the iconic stadium of Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Hardik Pandya's Gujarat Titans have continued this season from where they left last year. They have won two out of two and will be gunning for their third win when they take the field against KKR on their home turf. The Titans have found new heroes in new games, their story since 2022. If in the first game, it was the skillsets of Rashid Khan that came to the fore once again, it was Sai Sudharsan's ability to sustain at the top level that took the Titans home.

On the other hand, the KKR setup under the new leadership of Nitish Rana had a shaky start to their IPL 2023 season. Shreyas Iyer and Shakib Al Hasan, two of their key members in the squad went missing from this year's campaign. After a defeat in their first game against Punjab Kings, the Knights bounced back against RCB to get their maiden win of the season, courtesy of Shardul Thakur's batting mayhem and spinners, Varun Chakaravarthy, Sunil Narine, and Suyash Sharma's guile.

The wicket at the Narendra Modi Stadium has some good pace and bounce in it. The new ball might nip around a bit, so the opening batters will have a little bit of work cut out.
