IPL 2026, Match 37: Predicted GT XI vs CSK

Chennai Super Kings will look to continue their winning momentum and solidify their position in the points table as they host Gujarat Titans in Match 37 of IPL 2026 at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium.

CSK head into this home fixture riding high on confidence after a dominant 103-run victory over arch-rivals Mumbai Indians. With Sanju Samson in stunning form following a recent century, the Super Kings’ batting unit looks formidable.

In contrast, the Gujarat Titans find themselves struggling, needing a win to end a two-match losing streak and keep their playoff hopes alive. While Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have provided solid starts, the Titans have struggled for acceleration and bowling discipline in high-pressure moments.

GT Predicted XI vs CSK

Top-order: Shubman Gill (c), B Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk)

The top-three of Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler is the biggest strength of Gujarat Titans. Captain Gill has been among the leading run-scorers this season, showing consistency at the top. Sai Sudharsan is coming off a sensational century and will look to carry forward that form. Buttler, batting at No.3, adds immense firepower and will also handle wicketkeeping duties.

Middle-order: Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia

The middle-order remains a concern for the IPL 2022 champions. Washington Sundar has contributed useful runs but is yet to find consistency. Jason Holder, who replaced Glenn Phillips in the previous game, made a handy contribution and adds balance with his all-round abilities. Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia continue to be trusted finishers, but they will need to step up in crunch situations.

Bowlers: Rashid Khan, Manav Suthar, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj

The bowling attack will be led by the pace duo of Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj, who have been effective with the new ball. Rashid Khan appears to have rediscovered his rhythm and will be key in the middle overs. Manav Suthar provides an additional spin option, adding variety to the attack on a surface that traditionally assists slower bowlers.

GT Predicted Playing XI:

Shubman Gill (c), B Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Manav Suthar, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj
