Gujarat Titans have won 3 out of the last 5 matches but they lost their last match against Lucknow by 33 runs. In that match the top order flopped and the middle order came under pressure. Bowling was also weak. On the other hand CSK has won only 1 out of their last 5 matches. In the last match against Rajasthan Mhatre and Brevis fought a bit but the rest of the batting failed. Ashwin took 2 wickets but could not save the match.
The pitch of Narendra Modi Stadium gradually gets better as the match progresses. Teams mostly prefer to take the bowling before winning the toss. The average first innings score here is around 175. Pacers get wickets but spinners also bowl economically. Chasing team has got a good record here. GT's lowest score on this ground has also been 89 all out.
This rivalry of IPL 2023 finalists, Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans has seen a total of seven head-to-head matches. Out of those seven matches Gujarat has won 4 and Chennai has won 3.

Jos Buttler has scored 70 runs in 53 balls and got out 2 times. He has played 15 dot balls, hit 6 fours and 2 sixes. His strike rate is 132.1 and average is 35.0.
This guy has batted tremendously for GT this season. He has scored 638 runs in 13 matches, average is 53.17 and strike rate is 155.99. In the last match he scored 108* against Delhi. Before that he also scored 48 vs SRH, 39 vs RR. He is in form, has already scored 1 century and 5 fifties.
Captain Gill is also in full form. 636 runs in 13 matches, average is 57.82 and strike rate is 156.65. He scored 93* against Delhi, 76 against SRH and 84 against RR. He has already scored 6 fifties. He is the most reliable player in the top order of GT.
Sir Jadeja has done work with both bat and ball. Has taken 280 runs and 8 wickets in 13 matches. Had scored 77* against RCB. Has taken wickets against SRH, PBKS, KKR in bowling. Is an excellent utility player for Dream11.
Brewis got fewer matches but has created an impact whenever he got a chance. 168 runs in 5 matches, strike rate 164.70. Has scored 52 runs against KKR, 42-42 runs against SRH and RR. Is a player who can take quick runs.
R Sai Kishore is a spinner playing for Gujarat Titans. Although, Ahmedabad’s pitch has less support to the spinners he has taken 16 wickets in 13 matches. Took 2 wickets against MI and also got wickets against LSG and DC. Did not get much bowling in matches against SRH and RR but still his line-length remains tight. A good option in Dream11.
Ayush Mhatre is a young player but showed amazing talent. 206 runs in just 6 matches, strike rate 187.27. Played a big innings of 94 runs against RCB. Also scored 43 against RR and 30 against SRH. Bowls quick fire in the lower middle order.
Rahul Tewatia is a core finisher for Gujarat Titans, however this season he didn't have to bother much as his team’s top order is delivering well in each match. He will play in the lower middle order and will do the finishing touches for the team. His role is very important for the team but not for a fantasy user. You can avoid him in your Dream11 team.
Khaleel Ahmed is out of the form since the last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore before the break. He was very expensive in that match and Romerio Shepherd took him on pretty badly. He is finding his rhythm but it is quite hard for him to do so as seen in the last two games.
