However, their confidence took a massive hit when they were beaten by seven wickets at the hands of Gujarat.

Despite the efforts of Andre Russell, who scored a quickfire 34 off 19 balls, it was Rahmanullah Gurbaz who stole the show with a brilliant knock of 81 runs off just 39 deliveries.

Despite the impressive partnership between Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Andre Russell, who together scored 115 runs off 58 balls, Kolkata Knight Riders struggled to find other batsmen who could step up in their match against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023.

As a result, they were only able to muster a total of 179/7, which was a disappointing outcome for captain Nitish Rana, who expressed his frustration after the defeat.

During the post-match presentation ceremony, Nitish Rana, the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2023, expressed his disappointment with his team’s performance against Gujarat Titans.

He believed that his team fell short of 20-25 runs in their batting innings, and their inability to build partnerships was a crucial factor in their defeat.

Rana also emphasized the importance of not dropping catches against top teams, as it can significantly impact the outcome of the match.

In his view, only Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Andre Russell were able to make significant contributions, and the lack of support from other batsmen ultimately cost them the game.

Despite Kolkata Knight Riders’ efforts to defend their total of 179/6, they were unable to restrict Gujarat Titans, who chased down the target with ease, winning by seven wickets in IPL 2023.

Kolkata had managed to keep Gujarat quiet in the middle overs, restricting them to 98/3 in 12 overs.

However, Vijay Shankar played a crucial knock of 51 runs off just 24 balls, supported by David Miller, who was dropped on 26, to guide Gujarat to victory with 13 balls to spare.

Nitish Rana admitted that his team missed opportunities in the game, and emphasized the importance of taking their chances against top teams.

He also called on his team to seize the small moments in the game, as they could prove to be decisive.

Nitish Rana emphasized the importance of paying attention to the small details in cricket and said that Kolkata Knight Riders need to focus on them to increase their chances of winning matches in IPL 2023.
