I didn’t read anything about his injury. In case he is not available, we will know about it at toss

The points table of the Indian Premier is going to be in for early season as Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans feature tonight in a repeat of last IPL's final. With a win each, both GT and CSK began their campaign by ticking a lot of boxes. Mustafizur Rahman's four-wicket-burst. Shivam Dube's promising rise, MS Dhoni looking more active than ever, and Umesh Yadav and Mohit Sharma turning back the clock. But the biggest takeaway was the captaincy debuts of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shubman Gill kicking off their respective stints with a much-needed win.

Interestingly, both Gaikwad is also a competition to Gill's opening position in India's T20I set-up. Sure, Gill is clearly ahead of his GT counterpart when it comes to Tests and ODIs, pretty much having cemented his place in the XI, T20Is is where the position is still open. And with a T20 World Cup, both youngsters are aware of what needs to be done. Two young promising talents, one big tournament and a place in the T20 World Cup up for gras. Oh, bring it on.

GT are still just three seasons into the tournament but they have won as many titles as CSK, but while the rivalry between these two teams isn't as intense as the 'El Clasico' of IPL, it sure has shown signs of becoming a potent feud going forward. Last IPL, CSK nosed ahead of GT to deny them a second straight title and ensure their fifth. You never know. Gujarat may still be feeling the sting of it, but they have to build on their upper hand over Chennai. In a pretty telling trivia, CSK have never beaten GT in a league game, but have won twice in the Playoffs – once in Qualifier 1 and the other time in final.

Gujarat's Chennai boys

CSK vs GT IPL Live Score 2024, Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans: The Titans are playing in CSK's home but for many of the players in their squad, this might feel like a homecoming. Titans have as many as five Tamil Nadu players in their side - Sai Sudharsan, Sai Kishore, Vijay Shankar, Shahrukh Khan and Sandeep Warrier.

Thanks for the tag

CSK should win🤞

The last match between these two sides

CSK vs GT IPL Live Score 2024, Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans: Well what can we say about the last time these two sides played. Well, it decided the 2023 IPL title, to put it mildly. It was a two-day match, first of all, with rains in Ahmedabad forcing the match into the reserve day. Sai Sudharsan scored 96 in 47 balls while Wriddhiman Saha scored 54 in 39 as GT scored 214/4 batting first. Then came the rain, and it didn't go away any time soon. The problem was that there was no reserve day, because that WAS the reserve day, the game had been postponed the previous day due to incessant rains. Finally, at around 11.30pm, it was declared that the match had been reduced to 15 overs a side and CSK needed 171 to win. The chase eventually started at 12.05am, which meant that the match technically went into a third day. It all boiled down to CSK needing 10 to win off the last two with Mohit Sharma having given away just three runs of the first four balls of the last over. Jadeja ended up smashing the fifth ball for a six and the sixth for a four and CSK won their fifth title in the most utterly ridiculously dramatic fashion.

The face-off between two potent bowling attack

CSK vs GT IPL Live Score 2024, Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans: Both teams have a quality bowling attack which was very well on display during their first matches of the season. Chennai have found a new weapon in Mustafizur Rahman who picked a four-fer against RCB. Meanwhile, they also have the likes of Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande and Maheesh Theekshana in the supporting cast. While Gujarat Titans have the best spinner in the world - Rashid Khan. The newly recruits Umesh Yadav and Spencer Johnson also did well against MI alongside experienced Mohit Sharma.

Sai Sudharsan - The rising star

CSK vs GT IPL Live Score 2024, Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans: Gujarat Titans have found a dependable batter in the middle-order - Sai Sudharsan. The southpaw rescued the Titans in the final of last season with a ferocious 96-run knock which many forgot as the result went in Chennai's favour. However, Sudharsan kept growing after that knock and performed exceedingly well in domestic and India-A cricket. His consistent performances opened doors for international cricket, as he made his India debut on the South Africa tour last year. He was impressive on the tour, scoring a couple of half-centuries in three matches.
