As we await a sensational cricketing season, the IPL is back with thrilling encounters and deadly finishes daily. The defending champions made a remarkable start to their 2nd campaign in the history of the IPL, post their mesmerising performance in 2022 and this Sunday we are set to encounter a vital game between the Knight Riders from Kolkata and Pandya's Gujarat Titans.

Let's take a look at the 3 most debatable contests between the players from both sides :

#1 Shubman Gill vs Varun Chakravarthy

Gill marched into the IPL, continuing his stunning form from international limited-overs cricket and is expected to deliver performances of equal class and proficiency as he is GT's most reliable batter in the lineup. KKR would look to hunt his wicket in the initial overs of the game, and this huge responsibility would be cast on the shoulders of their mystery spinner Chakravarthy who has shown some return to form especially after producing a remarkable performance last night.

#2 David Miller vs Sunil Narine

The Protea batter is known for playing mostly in the role of a finisher, and he has nailed his part since he donned the Titans jersey. After marking his return to IPL even this year Miller delivered a breathtaking performance in GT's win against the Capitals. Miller is a resisting force down the order for the Titans and KKR would hold back their ace spinner Narine and would plan to use him against the hard-hitting protea as Narine is proficient while bowling against left-handers. 

#3 Rahmanullah Gurbaz vs Rashid Khan

This is the most obvious rivalry of the match as the inform Afghan Gurbaz would look to show his irresistible power during the initial overs and the Titans would be ready with an apt reply, as they have the T20 veteran spinner Rashid who will produce something special against the big hitter. Gurbaz who is mostly seen creating a platform for the later hitters is an obvious threat to any team and who would know him more than the Afghan skipper himself.
