GT vs CSK Dream11 Prediction: In a rematch of last year’s final, Chennai Super Kings will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday evening (IST). This IPL match number 59 is scheduled to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday, May 10, 2024.
With just one win in their last five games, GT has slipped to the bottom of the IPL power rankings, while CSK currently holds the 4th position heading into this match.
Gujarat Titans‘ primary issue this season has been the form of their key players. While there’s an argument for the big hole left in the squad by the departure of Hardik Pandya, the underlying inconsistency across the GT‘s entire squad, except a few players like Sai Sudarshan and Shahrukh Khan, can’t be overlooked and overstated enough. There’s no other excuse for Gujarat’s struggles.
At the heart of GT‘s disappointing season are two big-name players who were expected to lead the team. Though they have done so in the past, such as in 2022, but this season was a test of their leadership, and unfortunately, it has been a major letdown. The players are captain Shubman Gill himself and Afghanistan superstar spinner Rashid Khan.

Gill has only managed two 50+ scores this season and is not even among the top 20 highest scorers in IPL 2024. This marks a significant drop in form for a player who scored 890 runs in IPL 2023.
Rashid Khan‘s recent performances have been disappointing as well. The 25-year-old has conceded a combined total of 76 runs in just 34 balls across the last two games. This level of performance is below average for the former Sunrisers Hyderabad spinner.
CSK beat GT by 63 runs earlier in the season
Gujarat’s season is nearing its end, with little to no chance of finishing in the top four. Their best hope now lies in starting a winning streak, beginning with the upcoming match against CSK.
However, for Chennai Super Kings, the season is just starting. They are in the middle of an intense top-four race. With 12 points in 11 games, the reigning champion are sitting at 4th and two points behind 3rd placed Sunrisers Hyderabad. The stakes are high in this game as a win would take CSK up to 3rd on the points table, putting them in a commanding position in race for the playoffs.
On the form side, CSK have won twice in the last three games, while GT have lost four times in the last five matches.
GT vs CSK Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: The Narendra Modi Stadium offers a balanced pitch where the batters and bowlers can dominate proceedings. It’s all about the intent. The game between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is a perfect example. The pitch looked entirely different when SRH came out to bat.
This holds true for this match as well. Since this is a balanced pitch, anything can happen here. The team batting first can shoot past 200-run mark with ease, and in other case, even touching the 170-run mark might be difficult. But in any case, the first innings score should be above 180-run mark.
Weather Report: With each passing day, the temperature is soaring and shooting above 40°C in most part of India. The Friday is no exception as the maximum temperature is likely to range between 41°C-42°C. That said, since this is an evening game, the weather conditions should cool down by few degrees. There’s 3% chance of ran on Friday, but we should see out a full 40-over match. The humidity level is likely to remain around 20%.

GT vs CSK Dream11 Prediction Injury and availability News
Gujarat Titans
- Wriddhiman Saha is not in good form but Gujarat Titans don’t have much options in the wicket-keeping department either. Expect Saha to start this game.
- Joshua Little starred with four wickets against RCB and should be named in GT Playing XI.
- David Miller, Noor Ahmad and Rashid Khan should be the other three overseas players in Gujarat’s Playing 11.
- GT were forced to use Vijay Shankar as an Impact batter in the last game due to a precarious situation. Expect either Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore or Sandeep Warrier to play as Impact Player against CSK.
- The rest of the squad should be more or less the same. Shubamn Gill will lead the team and should open alongside Saha, with Sai Sudarshan batting at no-3, followed by Shahrukh Khan at no-4.
Pathirana (L) Mustafizur (R) both are out of IPL 2024
Chennai Super Kings
- For the unversed, Mustafizur Rahman and Matheesha Pathirana are out of IPL 2024. The former has joined Bangladesh squad to play in the T20I series against Zimbabwe, while the Sri Lankan is recovering from an injury.
- Expect CSK to remain changed from the last game.
- That means, another chance for Richard Gleeson in CSK’s Playing XI.
- Mitchell Santner was terrific against PBKS, with the New Zealander giving away just 10 runs in 3 overs, including one prized wicket of Shashank Singh.
- Based on the performance in the last match, Simarjeet Singh is a guaranteed starter in Chennai’s Playing 11. The 26-year-old picked up two wickets in just 3 overs, giving away a meagre 16 runs in the process.
TOP Picks For GT vs CSK Dream 11 Match
Captain Options:
CSK’s leading scorer in IPL 2024
- Ruturaj Gaikwad: One of the most in-form batters in the league at the moment. The way he is batting, CSK captain is on par with most batters at the moment. As things stand, he trails Kohli in the Orange Cap race. So Gaikwad should have plenty of motivation to extend his hot-run and keep accumulating runs. The 27-year-old is a no-nonsense captain option in this GT vs CSK IPL 2024 match.
Ruturaj Gaikwad in IPL 2024: Innings: 11 | Runs: 541 | 50s: 04 | 100s: 01 | 4s: 57 | 6s: 16. - Shubman Gill: Despite the rough patch, Shubman Gill remains a premium batter who can outscore all his teammates in any match. The 24-year-old has scored 322 runs in IPL 2024, including two scores of half centuries. Gill should be considered for either captain or vice-captain role in at least two or three Fantasy Cricket Teams.
Shubman Gill in IPL 2024: Innings: 11 | Runs: 322 | 50s: 02 | 4s: 28 | 6s: 09. - Shivam Dube: With 350 runs in 11 innings, Shivam Dube has scored the second most runs for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2024. That’s impressive considering the swashbuckling left-hander got out on Golden Duck in the last two innings. That’s also the reason why Dube is a dangerous player in this game as he will be eying a sensational return to scoring runs.
Shivam Dube in IPL 2024: Innings: 11 | Runs: 350 | 50s: 03 | 4s: 24 | 6s: 26.
Sai Sudarshan in GT’s leading scorer in IPL 2024
- Sai Sudarshan: Leading scorer for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024. In a team boasting players like Shubman Gill, David Miller and Wriddhiman Saha, to achieve this feat requires an immense skills-set, which Sudarshan has. He has scored 424 runs in 11 innings in IPL 2024.
Sai Sudarshan in IPL 2024: Innings: 11 | Runs: 424 | 50s: 02 | 4s: 43 | 6s: 09. - Ravindra Jadeja: A premium all-rounder who can win games on his own. He has been in fine form with both bat and ball. The 35-year-old has scored 202 runs in 8 innings and has so far claimed 8 wickets, including a 3-fer against Punjab Kings in the last match. His two-way skills make him a solid option in Today IPL teams.
Ravindra Jadeja in IPL 2024: Runs: 202 | Wickets: 08 | 3 wickets in the last match.
Vice-Captain Options:
- Rashid Khan: Yes, he is out of form, and yes, he is leaking runs at an alarming rate. But count Rashid out at your your own risk. He is a proven match-winner and doesn’t need to prove anything at all. The 25-year-old remains one of the best white-ball bowlers and can win games with his batting as well.
Rashid Khan in IPL 2024: Matches: 11 | Wickets: 08.
Santner gave away just 10 runs in 3 overs against PBKS
- Mitchell Santner: Scored 11 crucial runs and gave away just 10 runs in 3 overs, while also picking up a wicket. Santner has always been a good all-rounder in white-ball, who can contribute with both bat and ball. He shouldn’t be overlooked at all.
Mitchell Santner in last IPL 2024 match: 3-0-10-01 | Runs Scored: 11.
- Tushar Deshpande: Among the active players on CSK’s squad, Deshpande is the leading wicket-taker having claimed 12 wickets in 10 innings. The 28-year-old bowled the dangerous Jonny Bairstow as well as Rilee Rossouw in the last match. He can make the difference in GT vs CSK Dream11 Today Teams.
Tushar Deshpande in last IPL 2024 match: 4-0-35-02. - Shahrukh Khan: He has come alive in the last two games. After playing a terrific 58-run 30-ball innings against Royal Challengers Bangalore, the 28-year-old played another quick innings, this time scoring 37 runs off 20 balls against the same opponent. He can be an x-factor here.
Shahrukh Khan in last IPL 2024 match: Runs: 37 | 4s: 05 | 6s: 01.
Players Worth Considering
- Joshua Little: Picked up four wickets against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
- Daryl Mitchell: The New Zealander has scored 229 runs in 10 innings in IPL 2024.
