IPL 2025 Points Table Orange Cap Purple Cap After KKR vs GT: Gujarat Titans Dominate with 39-Run Victory

Gujarat Titans continued their stellar run in the IPL 2025, defeating Kolkata Knight Riders by 39 runs at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on Monday. With this win, GT strengthened their position at the top of the points table.

Sai Sudharsan showcased brilliant form once again, smashing a fluent 52 off 36 balls — his fifth fifty in six matches — to become the first player this season to cross the 400-run mark, thereby reclaiming the Orange Cap. Shubman Gill’s aggressive 72, laced with 10 boundaries and three sixes, along with Sudharsan’s composed knock, helped GT post a formidable total of 198/3 on a sluggish pitch after KKR chose to bowl first.

In response, Kolkata struggled to build momentum, as Gujarat’s bowlers executed a well-planned defense. Prasidh Krishna added two more wickets to his tally, while Rashid Khan matched his figures with an equally effective 2/25. The disciplined bowling effort restricted KKR to 159/8, ensuring a comfortable victory for the Titans.

With this comprehensive win, Gujarat Titans not only maintain their lead in the standings but also dominate the individual charts — with Sudharsan wearing the Orange Cap and Prasidh Krishna emerging as a strong Purple Cap contender.

It was another dismal outing for the defending champions, following their shocking collapse for 95 while chasing 112 in the previous match. Their batting woes continued as they appeared completely out of depth, slumping to their third home defeat in four games — and fifth overall in eight matches this season.

Gujarat Titans Extend Lead at the Top, Rashid Shines as KKR Falter Again

With this commanding win, Gujarat Titans registered their sixth victory in eight matches, solidifying their position at the top of the IPL 2025 standings with 12 points — two clear of the second-placed Delhi Capitals.

Kolkata Knight Riders’ chase was derailed right from the start, as Mohammed Siraj struck in the very first over, dismissing Rahmanullah Gurbaz for just 1. Sunil Narine offered a brief spark with a 17-run cameo, but his stay was cut short by Rashid Khan, who rediscovered his rhythm after a lukewarm start to the season.

The seasoned Afghan spinner, under pressure for his recent form, bounced back in style with a clinical spell. Using the pitch conditions to his advantage, Rashid returned impressive figures of 2/25, including the crucial wicket of Andre Russell (21 off 15 balls), reaffirming his value to the Titans’ bowling attack.

Gujarat Titans further cemented their position at the top of the IPL 2025 standings with a convincing 39-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The Titans, led by a stellar performance from Sai Sudharsan and Prasidh Krishna, now stand tall with 12 points from 8 matches, two clear of Delhi Capitals.
