The 13th match of IPL 2023 will be played today between Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders. This match between the two teams will be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Meanwhile, KKR has given good news for its fans. Jason Roy is all set to make his debut for KKR in the match to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium against Gujarat Titans.
However, the question arises– Will the Bangladeshi opener, Litton Das, play in today’s match?
Litton Das will miss the match against Gujarat Titans. He has not reached India yet. Das was busy with the cricket series against Ireland, due to which, he was not able to play the opening match for KKR. He will join the team in Kolkata only after the match against Gujarat Titans. He will be available for the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on 14 April.
The start of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2023 was not good as it had to face defeat against Punjab Kings in the opener. But returning to the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, KKR registered a massive win. Nitish Rana’s team would like to maintain its winning streak in the match against Gujarat Titans as well. On the other hand, Hardik’s team is still invincible in IPL 2023. In such a situation, there will be a fierce competition between both the teams.

Nitish Rana (c), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shardul Thakur, Lockie Ferguson, Umesh Yadav, Tim Southee, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy, Anukul Roy, Rinku Singh, N. Jagadeesan, Vaibhav Arora, Suyash Sharma, David Wiese, Kulwant Khejroliya, Litton Das, Mandeep Singh, Jason Roy (replacement).
