Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans Playing 11, IPL 2024: The finalists of the last season will lock horns for the first time since that last ball finish well beyond midnight saw the Chennai Super Kings inch past Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium. This time though, the meeting would take place at the defending champions’ home den, MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Both teams come into the game on the back of wins in their opening fixture. While CSK got the better of the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Chepauk by six wickets, GT beat Mumbai Indians by six runs in a last over finish.
Here is the CSK vs GT playing 11 prediction
On the eve of the fixture, The Indian Express has learnt that Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana who picked up a hamstring injury is available for their next fixture. In his stead, it was the Bangladeshi left-armer Mustafizur Rahman, who had been given a start against RCB and snapped four wickets in his first outing for the franchise. Given his instant impact and CSK’s reputation to not make a change unless necessary, it is unlikely that Pathirana starts come Tuesday.
Even though they ended up winning their first game, on another night, it could’ve as easily ended in the other side’s favor. Of the few points to mull over for Gujarat were the bowling figures of Spencer Johnson, who conceded as many as 25 runs from his two overs quota. Compound that with the fact that GT may as well need the surfaces of another spinner at the Chepauk turf and Noor Ahmad makes for a good pick instead of the 28-year-old Australian pacer.
CSK predicted XI vs GT: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell, Ravindra Jadeja, Sameer Rizvi , MS Dhoni (wk), Deepak Chahar, Maheesh Theekshana, Mustafizur Rahman, Tushar Deshpande
