In the IPL 2026 match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Gujarat Titans' (GT) skipper Shubman Gill has won the toss and elected to bowl first at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

After winning the toss, GT's skipper Gill said, "We're gonna bowl first. Yeah, it does look like that (pitch having moisture), there was a little bit of rain around yesterday and it looks a little bit sticky, we are hoping that it's going to get better in the second innings. (On GT's bowlers dominating and winning five on the trot) Yeah, definitely, we believe that, batsmen do win you matches, but if you want to win championships, your bowling unit has to be in form and luckily for us, they are firing all cylinders".
