Gujarat Titans will be knocked out if they lose this match.
Preview
Gujarat Titans (GT) will be taking on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 59th match of the IPL 2024. It will be a must-win game for GT to stay alive in the tournament. Their current chances of making it to the playoffs are slim, and they would be nil if they fail in this game. On the other hand, the defending champions need to claim a win to ensure they are actively ahead of other teams in the race for the playoffs. Many teams that are placed below them in the table are still alive in the race.
The likes of DC, LSG, RCB, and PBKS can make it to the playoffs with certain results going their way. Hence, CSK needs to win by a big margin to maintain a consistent run in the league. The match between GT and CSK is set to take place at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 10 at 7:30 PM (IST). CSK will be the favorites to win the match, given the composition of their team. GT has one of the poorest teams on paper and needs inspiring performances from the individuals to claim a win.
The last time these two sides met each other, CSK registered a massive win in Chepauk. The knocks of Shivam Dube and Rachin Ravindra helped CSK beat GT by over 60 runs. The defending champions need a similar performance from the team, as they will be up against GT in their own backyard. At the same venue, both teams played the final of the IPL 2023. CSK won the thrilling final on the last delivery to claim their fifth IPL title. GT needs to step up and provide a good fight to CSK.

Pitch Report
Captains
Ruturaj Gaikwad CSK | bat– 9
Ruturaj Gaikwad has been in sublime form in the last few games. The star batter has three fifties to his name in the last 4 matches. The SK skipper anchors the innings and bats deep to score a lot of runs. Even as a fielder, he is good and takes brilliant catches.
Shivam Dubey CSK | all- 9
Shivam Dube has registered back-to-back golden ducks in his last two innings. The Southpaw needs to return to form ahead of the big matches for CSK. Even ahead of the T20 WC 2024, he must be in good form as there is a good chance of him being in the starting XI.
Noor Ahmad GT | bowl- 7
Noor Ahmad is a wicket-taking bowler. Additionally, he does not concede a lot of runs. He is one of the best bowlers since 2023. The chinaman spinner can claim the wickets of some of the best batters in the world. Even as a fielder, he is very safe.
Top
Tushar Deshpande CSK | BOWL– 6.5
Tushar Deshpande has been one of the best bowlers for CSK this season. The emerging pacer has been delivering the goods for CSK. In the absence of Matheesha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman, he will have an additional responsibility in bowling.
Rashid Khan GT | BOWL- 9
Rashid Khan is not at his best as a bowler this season. However, as this is a must-win game for GT, he will be pumped to perform for his side. The key for him would be to contain runs against Shivam Dube. Additionally, he can win matches for the side as a batter.
Shubman Gill GT | BAT- 8.5
Shubman Gill has not been able to bat well in the last few matches. However, it will be a good opportunity for him to perform well as a batter. The star batter needs to bat aggressively and not worry about the results. He has a good record at home.
Budget
Simarjeet Singh CSK | bowl- 8.5
Simarjeet Singh is a useful bowler. In the absence of Matheesha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman, he will play a crucial role for CSK. The right-arm medium pacer can take wickets from his end and be economical at the same time.
Joshua Little GT | bowl- 8.5
Joshua Little had a good game against RCB. After getting smashed for 21 runs in the first over, the left-arm pacer claimed 4 wickets to keep GT alive in the game. He is a wicket taker and can deliver the goods at home where his style of bowling is suitable.
Richard Gleeson CSK | bowl- 8
Richard Gleeson has bowled well in the two games for CSK. The pace bowler has a big role ahead of him in the rest of the tournament. As he is a fairly fresh face in the league, the teams do not have as much idea about his style of bowling compared to others.
