The Verdict — KKR or GT?

Gujarat Titans have the better all-time IPL record. They lead the head-to-head 5-2, have a stronger long-term win rate, and have generally been the more consistent franchise across IPL history.

That does not mean Kolkata Knight Riders are without their own claim. Narine-led mystery spin gives them upside in any single matchup. But across all available IPL data, the Gujarat edge is real.
