IPL 2024 CSK vs GT: Playing 11 prediction, pitch report, head-to-head stats, and more

The 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is all set for an electrifying Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Gujarat Titans (GT) face-off. This game is a replay of the IPL 2023 finals, where CSK claimed the victory. Both teams have kicked off their respective campaigns with a win.

Team Breakdown

Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

Under the leadership of Ruturaj Gaikwad, the Chennai Super Kings have begun their season on a positive note by triumphing over the Royal Challengers Bangalore. As the current champions of the tournament, they are a team to be reckoned with. The presence of MS Dhoni provides strong leadership, and their robust batting and bowling lineup makes CSK a formidable team. The team’s strength is further enhanced by Ravindra Jadeja, a deadly all-rounder.

Gujarat Titans (GT)

The Gujarat Titans, with Shubman Gill at the helm, started their season with a victory against the Mumbai Indians. This marks Gill’s debut as a captain in an IPL team, signifying a fresh chapter for the franchise. GT features a strong top-order and middle-order batting lineup and an impressive spin attack led by Rashid Khan. However, the absence of Mohammad Shami has slightly weakened their pace attack, necessitating other players to step up their game.
