Poor form alert (GT)
Wriddhiman Saha’s highest score in the last 5 games is 18 runs.
Poor form alert (CSK)
Ajinkya Rahane’s highest score in the last 5 games is 21 runs.
Wriddhiman Saha will be against Deepak Chahar and he has an average record against CSK. You can take the risk and drop him.
CSK’s middle order is vulnerable to wrist spin which makes Noor Ahmad an appealing fantasy option.
Maheesh Theekshana will be an excellent differential pick.
Hardik Pandya bowled 2 overs in the last game. He will bat at number 4 and may struggle against the Chennai spinners. Dropping him will be worth the risk.
Ajinkya Rahane and Moeen Ali (If Chennai bats first) will be excellent differential picks in this game.
You can also take the risk on Tushar Deshpande
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana
Probable Impact Sub: Ambati Rayudu
Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan, Hardik Pandya (c), Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma
Probable Impact Sub: Joshua Little
High risk to avoid players with high ownership (try to fit in most players with more than 60% ownership with not more than 2 differentials)

Highest ownerships from the outside base team: Saha, Dube, Sudarshan and Mohit
Shivam Dube will be against Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad. Gujarat will target him with the pace and bounce of Shami and Joshua Little. You can drop him.
Said Sudarshan will be a good choice if GT is batting first.
Mohit Sharma is a good pick as well, especially when GT is bowling first.
