Four-time champions Chennai Super Kings and defending champions Gujarat Titans will lock horns in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2023 at Chennai's Chepauk stadium on Tuesday
While GT finished as table toppers, winning 10 of the 14 league matches, CSK won 8 of the 14 matches they played
CSK is yet to register a win against the Hardik Pandya-led side in IPL after playing three matches.
CSK will hope its star opener Ruturaj Gaikwad will roar with the bat once more this season. Gaikwad has scored 504 runs so far this season. Against GT, Gaikwad has scored 218 runs in three matches at an average of 72.66 runs. He scored 92 off 50 in the last encounter
Conway and Gaikwad have been one of the prolific opening pairs of IPL 2023 and CSK management will hope this pair rises to the occasion once more in Chennai on Tuesday
Jadeja has been touted as one of the most dependable players for CSK this season. He has taken 17 wickets for 375 runs with an economy of 7 and has also been among quick runs when the team needed them the most. His all-round abilities will be under focus on Tuesday
The CSK pacer has secured 20 wickets for 465 runs so far and has provided MS Dhoni with a stable bowling front. His death bowling will be crucial for CSK to restrict the famed GT batsmen
The Afghanistan bowler had a phenomenal year with 24 wickets for 438 runs and against Mumbai Indians he showed he can bat too. His beguiling spin bowling will be key for GT to keep CSK batsmen under check
To add extra edge, GT skipper Hardik Pandya may bowl in the upcoming match against CSK. It must be noted here that Pandya did not bowl in the last three games
Mohammad Shami, with 23 wickets so far, will be crucial for GT to keep the destructive CSK openers under check. In IPL 2023, Shami has taken Conway's wicket in two matches, while he has effectively contained Gaikwad in his overs
The young batter has scored 680 runs so far in the IPL 2023. If he repeats his performance against RCB on Tuesday, CSK bowlers might not have a place to hide
