GT vs KKR Who Won the Toss Today? – Match 25 IPL 2026 Toss Update

Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments & Reasoning

“We just want our batters to play freely, with freedom. In this tournament so far, we have tried everything, chasing targets and batting first. I felt letting the batters express themselves and then defending the total would be the right approach. You do not always need to rely on stats or data; it is about how the team feels and what we want to achieve. T20 cricket is about momentum and winning small moments. Today, we aim to play fearless cricket and stay focused. We have made one change. Tim Seifert comes in for Finn Allen,” Ajinkya Rahane said.

“ Honestly, we would have bowled first. I feel the weather is getting hotter, so there could be some dew. We haven’t seen much of it in our last three or four matches, but as the tournament progresses, dew might become a factor. In the previous game, our batting collapsed in the middle overs, losing five wickets between overs 11 and 15. You do not need to overcomplicate things in such a technical game. The more you do, the harder it gets. We are going with the same team today,” Shubman Gill said.
