NEW DELHI: Gujarat Titans’ resurgence in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 continued on Friday as they registered a comfortable five-wicket win over struggling Kolkata Knight Riders at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. After starting the IPL 2026 season with two defeats, Gujarat Titans have now achieved a hat-trick of wins to jump to fourth in the points table with six points from five games.
KKR, on the other hand, suffered their fifth loss of the IPL 2026 season as they remained stuck at the bottom of the standings with just one point from a rain-induced no result against table-toppers Punjab Kings earlier in the season. The Ajinkya Rahane-led side remain the only winless team of the season after 25 matches in IPL 2026.
GT chased down the 181-run target with two balls to spare against KKR and improved their net run rate (NRR) to +0.018 from -0.029 — a slight but important improvement for the Shubman Gill-led side.
The top three in the IPL 2026 standings remained unchanged, with Punjab Kings leading the pack with nine points from five games, followed by defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals — both on eight points, with RCB placed second on superior NRR.
The mid-table is tightly packed with four teams on four points at this stage, with Sunrisers Hyderabad in fifth on better NRR, followed by Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings — all level on points.
The bottom two teams are Mumbai Indians in ninth with just two points from five games, and KKR anchored at the bottom.
