IPL 2024: This is the rematch of last season’s final. Gujarat Titans must still be feeling hurt after what transpired in that mega match. But this is the new season and GT have the chance to avenge that defeat by winning this encounter at MA Chidambaram Stadium.
GT captain Shubman Gill won the toss and decided to bowl first in this huge match. Gill and company started their IPL 2024 campaign with a closely-fought win over Mumbai Indians.
Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, didn’t find any difficulty in seeing off Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL 2024 opener. But their batting unit will be under microscope after all their main batsman threw away their wickets.

More Updates On CSK vs GT IPL 2024 Match
Maheesh Theekshana was dropped from CSK Playing XI. The Sri Lankan spinner had a poor outing in the opening game as he went for 36 runs in four overs.
Also, since CSK are batting 1st, they are going with an extra batsman in the shape of Shivam Dube, who is likely to be subbed off when CSK are bowling. We expect Matheesha Pathirana to take the field in place of Dube.
