League: Indian Premier League 2024
Match: Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings
Date: 10th May, 2024
Time: 7:30 PM
Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
Gujarat Titans are having a season to forget so far. They are languishing at the bottom of the points table with just four wins in eleven matches so far. Their batting relies heavily on Shubman Gill and if he fails to score big, the team tends to struggle. Sai Sudharsan has been scoring runs consistently so far. Shahrukh Khan has shown good form in the last couple of games but they need runs from experienced batters like Wriddhiman Saha and David Miller. The bowling was their stronghold before the start of the tournament but the bowlers have let the Titans down. Rashid Khan has struggled following his back surgery while Mohit Sharma hasn’t been as penetrative as he was in the last season.
Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings will be looking for a final push into the playoffs. They will be confident after a win in the last game. Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad has been in excellent form after a slow start to the season. He will be looking to add some more runs to his tally. Shivam Dube, Daryl Mitchell, Moeen Ali, and Ravindra Jadeja form a strong middle order but they will Ajinkya Rahane’s form is a concern for CSK. On the bowling front, Chennai have been hit by several injury issues. The onus will be on Tushar Deshpande and Richard Gleeson to lead the attack with the new ball. Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner bowled well in the last game and are likely to be the frontline spinners for this game.
Mohit Sharma is likely to come as the impact player when Gujarat Titans are bowling.
Chennai Super Kings are likely to bring in Simarjeet Singh as the impact player when they are bowling.
The match will be played at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. The pitch is expected to favour the spinners and it might not be a high-scoring contest.
The weather will be clear with no chance of rain. The temperature will be around 32 degrees and humidity will be around 40 degrees.
Sai Sudharsan – The left-hander is the highest run-getter for Titans so far. He is a batter who is capable of scoring runs consistently. Sudharsan has scored 424 runs in 11 matches so far at an average of 42.40 and a strike rate of 131.67.
Ruturaj Gaikwad – Gaikwad is in excellent form and is the second highest run-scorer of the season currently. The opener is capable of scoring big runs and is a safe option to choose. He has scored 541 runs in 11 matches so far at an average of 60.11 and a strike rate of 147.01.
Shivam Dube – Shivam Dube is in top form in IPL 2024. He has been a game-changer for CSK with the bat. His ability to hit the spinners stands out and it will be interesting to see how he tackles Gujarat’s spin threat. He has scored 350 runs in 11 matches so far at an average of 43.75 and a strike rate of 170.73.
Shubman Gill – Gill is having a below par season according to his standards. After crossing 900 runs in the last year, he has scored just 322 runs in 11 matches so far at an average of 32.20. He will be eager to improve his numbers against a depleted Chennai bowling attack.
Ravindra Jadeja – Jadeja was excellent in the last match with both bat and ball where he scored 43 runs off 26 balls and took 3-20. The allrounder can win the game for his side on his day. He has scored 202 runs in 8 innings so far. With the ball, he has picked up 8 wickets at an economy rate of 7.26.
Vijay Shankar – With Shahrukh Khan showing signs of good form, Shankar is likely to bat lower down the order and might not face enough balls to make a significant impact. He can be avoided for this game as he might not fetch many points.
Mitchell Santner – Santner is an economical bowler and the pitch at Ahmedabad might not get him many wickets. He is slotted to bat lower down the order which may not allow him to make much impact with the bat. He might not fetch many points and can be avoided for this game.
