GT currently sits at the bottom of the standings with four wins and seven losses. Failing to win this crucial match would mean elimination for the reigning champions of the 2022 edition.

On the other hand, CSK holds the fourth position with 12 points, tied with Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants. However, they still have a game left to play. A victory would significantly enhance CSK’s chances of securing a playoff spot.

GT vs CSK: Match Preview

Chennai Super Kings have essentially transformed into the Gujarat Titans since the beginning of the season, facing significant setbacks with the loss of their entire pace attack. The absence of Matheesha Pathirana, Mustafizur Rahman, and to some extent Deepak Chahar has severely impacted their quest for a playoff berth. Despite their quicks boasting the best economy rate during the middle overs (8) and the second-best at the death (10.43) in IPL 2024, their bowling depth has taken a hit.

GT heavily relied on Mohammed Shami, who has been sidelined due to an ankle injury and subsequent surgery. In his absence, the team experimented with alternatives like Azmatullah Omarzai, Spencer Johnson, and Josh Little, but none have proven effective. Fast bowlers with unique styles or exceptional new-ball skills are pivotal assets, and their absence has left a void difficult to fill.

GT has struggled to adapt, and a defeat on Friday would spell the end of their tournament. Conversely, CSK must secure a victory to enhance their chances of making a playoff push. Their position is more favorable to mount a charge towards the playoffs and the final, coincidentally slated to occur at the very venue where a player once expressed his desire to conclude his career. Such a scenario would indeed be poetic.

GT vs CSK: Pitch Report & Conditions

In Ahmedabad, the pitch dynamics and conditions heavily favor chasing teams. In the recent encounter between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians, the team batting first managed to defend their target, but in the subsequent five games, the chasing teams emerged victorious in all instances. Therefore, winning the toss and opting to bowl first seems to be the preferred strategy, considering the ground’s expansive dimensions and the pitch becoming flatter as the day progresses into night.

As the evening progresses and dew starts to set in, batting conditions tend to improve, making chasing a more favorable option. In fact, in the last 21 IPL games at this venue, 13 have been won by teams batting second, adding pressure on Ruturaj Gaikwad, the Gujarat Titans’ captain, to reverse his fortunes with the toss. During this period, the average first-innings total has been around 188 runs.

Back in March, which feels like ages ago, the rematch of the 2023 final favored CSK. Shivam Dube’s rapid half-century and CSK’s fast bowlers’ resilience prevented GT from conjuring a surprise hero as they had done in the past. CSK’s total of 206 for 6 comfortably surpassed GT’s 143 for 8.

GT vs CSK: Team News and Impact Player Strategy

Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans have experimented with 22 players, the joint-most for the season, without finding a consistent winning combination. Their success appears to hinge on Gill’s ability to score runs at the top order and Miller’s role as a finisher.

Their impact player strategy is expected to involve a direct swap between Sai Sudharsan and either Sai Kishore or Sandeep Warrier.

GT vs CSK: Players Under The Spotlight

Gujarat Titans- Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan’s IPL economy rate stood at approximately 6.3 runs per over until IPL 2022. However, since last year, his economy rate has risen to 8.2 runs per over. Several factors contribute to this shift: his home base relocation, teams’ increased willingness to take risks against him due to the impact player rule, and more frequent appearances in the powerplay overs. Additionally, Rashid entered this season fresh off back surgery, facing formidable odds. Even amidst challenges, great players rebound and retaliate.

Chennai Super Kings- Simarjeet Singh

Simarjeet Singh has notably increased his pace, evident from just three overs’ worth of gameplay. Although he bowled against an opposition already four wickets down, he made a distinct impression, especially on Ashutosh Sharma, whom he targeted with well-directed short deliveries. While pace isn’t the sole determinant of success, particularly in a team like CSK that values intelligence in their bowlers, Simarjeet’s improvement highlights his dedication and hunger for achievement.
