In their last encounter at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Rinku Singh’s five consecutive sixes led KKR to an unexpected win, fueling hope for the Titans for a similar twist of fate. Umesh expressed optimism, aiming for victories in both games to secure a playoff spot. With a maximum of 14 points, the Titans need luck from other matches to align in their favor.
Although KKR has already qualified, they seek to bolster their position in the top two. Despite the Titans’ edge in head-to-head matches, KKR’s surprising performance this season has been fueled by their dynamic openers and consistent bowlers. The Titans, rejuvenated with their captain and key players in form, anticipate a close battle against the resurgent side.
