Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders will be eager to regroup and address their faltering batting performances as they take on table-toppers Gujarat Titans at Eden Gardens on Monday. After opting to field first at their home ground, KKR will hope to contain the in-form Titans to a manageable total.

Their previous outing ended in embarrassment, with Knight Riders collapsing for a mere 95 runs while chasing 112 against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur. The defeat laid bare the persistent struggles plaguing their batting order, prompting urgent introspection within the camp.
