Gujarat Titans have been a progressive franchise in IPL so far. The team has had four wins in five games and are at the top of the points table. Hardik Pandya was brilliant in all the departments and is doing a spectacular job as a leader. On the other side, CSK won their first game against RCB in IPL 2022. CSK has to improve their bowling department and the batting is balanced in most of the games. GT’s performance is better in this season and has a better chance to win this game.
