Both the teams earned the luxury to play the game after topping the points table with Gujarat Titans finishing ahead of the MS Dhoni-led side. Gujarat, in fact, have enjoyed dominance over CSK in head-to-head too with a 3-0 lead. Their last encounter was at the end of the last month in Ahmedabad, which GT won by five wickets.
GT vs CHE injury update and key players
CHE injury update MS Dhoni is reported to be doubtful for the game as he has played the entire IPL with bad knee but has managed with limited batting action. Ben Stokes, meanwhile, has left the squad for international commitments. Pacers Simarjeet Singh and Sisanda Magala have missed opportunities too due to injuries.
CHE key players The Super Kings top-order has been key to their success with Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway firing runs. Their top shows have often led to Ajinkya Rahane’s demotion down the order as the likes of Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja are promoted ahead to finish things off. Rahane has been in good form this season too. Jadeja has been important on Chidambaram’s surface with his spin bowling as he took 17 wickets so far.
Matheesha Pathirana has been the key bowler in the death over as he bowls his quota of over in the last 10 overs while Deepak Chahar has been doing the job well with the new ball with 10 wickets in the last four games. Tushar Deshpande has 20 wickets to his name this IPL but his wicket-taking form has dipped off late.
Out of form Ambati Rayudu is having tough time in the twilight of his career while Moeen Ali has gone wicketless in the last three games.
GT injury update Sai Sudharsan has returned to the side after missing five games on the trot while Irish pacer Joshua Little is back in the squad as well after going away on international duty.
GT key players Gujarat Titans batting continues to do the heavy lifting with Shubman Gill in top form with 576 runs this IPL, including a century in the last game. Wriddhiman Saha has been in good form of late as well but has failed to maintain consistency.
Sai Sudharsan return to the side with an innings of 47 against Sunrisers Hyderabad while the likes of Hardik Pandya, Vijay Shankar, and David Miller have been scoring runs as well. Down the order, Abhinav Manohar, Rahul Tewatia, and Rashid Khan have played the role of finishers well.
The Afghan spinner is leading the purple cap race with 23 wickets while pace Mohammad Shami has been locked on as many wickets. Mohit Sharma has been in top form as well with nine wickets in the last three games, including two four-wicket spells in the period. Leg spinner Noor Ahmad went wicketless in the last two games but could be crucial in the big encounter.
