KKR vs GT toss prediction FAQ

Who won the KKR vs GT toss?

Gujarat Titans won the KKR vs GT toss and chose to field first.

What did the toss winner choose in KKR vs GT?

Gujarat Titans chose to field first. Our pre-toss call was field first — the captain did what we predicted.

How does the toss affect the KKR vs GT match odds?

Meaningfully. Eden Gardens favours chasing (teams batting second win 59% here), so our model shifts the match win probability by about 6 percentage points depending on which side ends up chasing — with evening dew adding to the chase advantage under lights. A pre-toss match price averages both branches, so the toss result itself can create or kill value on the match market.
