Gurbaz hit seven sixes and five fours in his scintillating knock while 'birthday boy' Andre Russell (34 off 19 balls) also used long handle to good effect towards the end. GT chased down the target with 13 balls to spare, reaching 180 for 3 in 17.5 overs. Vijay Shankar remained not out on 51 while Shubman Gill and David Miller contributed 49 and 32 not out respectively.

TOSS REPORT: Gujarat Titans opt to bowl against Kolkata Knight Riders
TOSS REPORT: Gujarat Titans opt to bowl against Kolkata Knight Riders

Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya opted to bowl after winning the toss in their IPL match against Kolkata Knight Riders. It was a no-brainer for Pandya as there was a rain and thunderstorm forecast for the match and the floodlights were put on with dark clouds hovering. It began to drizzle immediately after the toss, as the ground was put under cover. There will be no loss of over if the match start within one hour. Pandya retained the same XI, while KKR skipper Nitish Rana was forced to ring in two changes because of injury issues. Down with a back niggle, opener Jason Roy missed out as Rahmanullah Gurbaz was recalled. Veteran India pacer Umesh Yadav also pulled out after tweaking a hamstring as Harshit Rana was brought in.

We would have batted first, DLS could come into the equation, but we would still have batted first. There are always areas where we can improve, we have had some forced changes - Jason Roy has a back issue, he's replaced by Gurbaz

Nitish Rana

15:03 (IST) Apr 29

We will bowl first. Just because of the weather, it was bright and we thought we should bat, but it has changed now. I'm pretty happy with where we are, 7 games gone, 7 more to come, we need to play good cricket and qualify for the playoffs. We are playing the same team

India allrounder Thakur, however, has a match winning knock to his name and KKR might recall him for the tie
14:45 (IST) Apr 29
But none of them, including the veteran Indian pacer Yadav, has impressed
14:45 (IST) Apr 29
They have handed debuts to Vaibhav Arora, Kulwant Khejroliya and David Wiese, while the likes of Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson and Shardul Thakur have all played musical chair
14:45 (IST) Apr 29
Pace bowling department too does not inspire much confidence as KKR are still searching for a perfect combination with only Umesh Yadav being the regular in all their eight matches
14:44 (IST) Apr 29
Varun Chakravarthy and rookie legspinner Suyash Sharma, who formed a winning combination against RCB, have been sharing the spin workload with veteran Narine going wicketless in five matches
14:43 (IST) Apr 29
It remains to be seen how the KKR spin force cope with the challenge of bowling to the Titans, who will also have 'home boy' Wriddhiman Saha looking to fire at the top with Gill
