We have two teams who are really strong on paper, one firing and one not so much. We’re talking about Match 35 of IPL 2022 and the first of today’s double header where Gujarat Titans will be in action, currently near the top of the IPL 2022 points table because of their 5 wins in 6 games. They’re coming into this game also with two successive victories and they’ll be looking to capture the top spot with another win now!
On the other hand is one of the pre-tournament favourites in Kolkata Knight Riders who have only 3 wins in their 7 games and have been having a tough time putting together a string of wins. In fact, they’ve come into this game here with a hat-trick of losses and they’ll need a win in order to get their campaign back on track.

Kolkata Knight Riders
With his amazing knock in the last game, Aussie opener Aaron Finch has cemented his side in the place and we’re picking him in our KOL vs GT fantasy team, which means Sam Billings won’t be getting a chance soon. They made the right move of sending Sunil Narine to the top of the order as Venkatesh Iyer has been misfiring. Though Narine was run out early, we think they need to continue that approach in this game.
Umesh Yadav began sensationally but he hasn’t picked a single powerplay wicket in the last three games so we’re leaving him out of our KOL vs GT Dream11 team today, picking Shivam Mavi instead who hasn’t had too many games and won’t be too popular among fantasy teams. We’re picking captain Shreyas Iyer with the bat and for an additional bowling option, we’re going with Pat Cummins though he’s been expensive in the last couple of games.
Gujarat Titans
Captain Hardik Pandya missed the last game due to groin stiffness but is likely to be back after a 5-day break since their last game. He’s batting up the order so we’re picking him, especially since he’s bowling now too. Also batting higher up the order has been Vijay Shankar but after so many failures this season, we’d think Sai Sudharsan will be given a chance and David Miller is also likely to get an elevated spot in the batting lineup.

Since IPL 2019, Shreyas Iyer has fallen to leg-spin 14 times which means Rashid Khan will have a big role to play against him while we may even see Rahul Tewatia be thrown the ball in this game. Another person we definitely want in our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) KOL vs GT fantasy team today is pacer Lockie Ferguson who has a 3-fer and a 4-fer in this IPL 2022 season already!
