KKR vs GT Dream11 Prediction – Match 39, IPL 2025: Key Picks, Stats & Tips to Win Big

Match: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans

Venue: Eden Gardens, Kolkata

Date & Time: April 21, 2025 | 7:45 PM IST

The Kolkata Knight Riders host the Gujarat Titans in an IPL 2025 game at Eden Gardens, which promises to be a high-scoring game with many points in store for the fantasy managers. KKR and GT both were brilliant and, at the same time, poor in their respective outings, and for this reason, it is a very tough game to call from a fantasy perspective.

Key performances, recent trends, and injury insights were broken down for you to get to the top of your Dream11 or Team11 lineups.

Recent form

KKR (Last 5): ❌ ✅ ❌ ✅ ❌

GT (Last 5): ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ ✅

While KKR’s form has been patchy, GT comes to this contest with 4 wins in their previous 5. The only thing that should be noted by the fantasy players is that momentum and adaptability have always been team-specific when it comes to Eden Gardens.

🏟️ Venue Insights: Eden Gardens, Kolkata

It’s a high-scoring ground historically, with dew becoming a factor in night games. Pacers generally get a lot of support up front during the early overs, and the middle-overs phase witnesses the spinners taking control.

🔥 Batters to Watch

✅ Sai Sudharsan (GT)

🔹 10 M • 558 Runs • Avg 62 • SR 158.52

Most consistent batter for the GT. He is very good against spin; an important point considering the nature of the wicket at Eden Gardens.

✅ Venkatesh Iyer (KKR)

🔹 10 M • 224 Runs • Avg 44.8 • SR 169.69

Iyer has the game to make an impact against GT, who is over-dependable on their pacers, since he himself finds his very best form at home.

⚠️ Shubman Gill (GT) – Underperformer

Though he has put up 337 runs, this has been very off-color at Eden. Up against the pair of KKR’s ace wrist spinners, he might struggle.

💥 Bowlers to Watch

✅ Varun Chakravarthy (KKR)

🔹 13 Wkts • Econ 6.15 • SR 15.23

He is going to be the make-or-break, despite everything, for KKR in breaking through the middle order of GT, more so with Gill and Sudharsan inclined to face pace.

✅ Prasidh Krishna (GT)

🔹 14 Wkts • Econ 7.44 • SR 11.57

This will be the death-overs stuff for GT – cent percent material while you think of setting up your pace-bowling move for fantasy contests.

⚠️ Avoid—Mohammed Siraj (GT)

It is because, although he has 14 wickets, his economy has been leaked on the Eden surface, which can make him especially vulnerable in the powerplay.

🩹 Injury Watch

No major injury updates from both sides. Final XI updates will be very crucial, 15 minutes before the toss, especially for fantasy deadline swaps.

🧠 Fantasy Captain & Vice-Captain Picks

🏆 Top Captain Picks:

Sai Sudharsan is consistent, and it seems that presently even the Eden track is in his favor.

Varun Chakravarthy (High wicket-impact)

🎯 Vice-Captain Options:

Venkatesh Iyer (Home advantage + some very good striking)

Prasidh Krishna (Mostly, the death-overs bowlers who pick wickets turn out to be gold in fantasy)

💡 Lineup Tips:

💡 Lineup Tips:

Top Order: Stack your innings with the top-order batters from in-form sides, who can maximize Powerplay and benefit from the fielding restrictions.

Include Spin: Varun + Narine, if the latter is playing, should give away a few surprise points.

Budget: Use your budget with a balance; go for one differential pick like Harshit Rana, who has done wonders at a lesser credit value this season with 13 wickets.

🧨 Grand League Differentials

Harshit Rana (KKR) – 13 wickets in 9 games, probably the find of this season.

Ajinkya Rahane (KKR): Calm, Composed, and striking at 148.32. Rahane may come in handy up top, most possibly facing a slide at the top of the order.

🏁 Last Word

Form-wise, GT may be a little ahead, but KKR has Eden and spin at its command. Continuing the trusted old guns—Sudharsan, Chakravarthy, with a sprinkle of Harshit Rana, or Venkatesh Iyer.
