CSK vs GT Match Prediction: With both teams winning their respective first game in IPL 2024, the aim will be to keep the momentum going. But only one team can come out victor from MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday night. Chennai Super Kings are the home team here and the over-familiarity with the conditions certainly gives them an upper hand over the visitors.
That said, Gujarat Titans have their own demons to exorcise. Despite being the best team during the league stage in IPL 2023, GT eventually ended up losing the final to CSK. That’s motivation enough for Shubman Gill and Co to hurt the home team and silence the vociferous MA Chidambaram Stadium.
CSK vs GT Match Details
MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report
Historically the pitch at MA Chidambaram Stadium has been on the slow side. But pitch was at its absolute best in the opening IPL 2024 match, where the bat and the ball had an even content. In fact, CSK made the mockery of RCB’s 175+ score, winning quite easily in the end. Since the IPL 2024 is still in its infancy, expect the pitch here to produce an even contest for the 2nd game running.
CSK vs GT Head-To-Head Record
This will be the sixth meeting between these two IPL teams. Gujarat Titans set the marker down for this new-age rivalry, after winning twice in the first three meetings against MS Dhoni’s team. But CSK won the last two-head-to-head encounter, including the big IPL 2023 final.

CSK vs GT Match Prediction: Probable Best Players
GT Probable highest scorer: Shubman Gill
The current Orange Cap holder is someone who is always hungry for runs. Gill will be even more desperate to score big here after managing only 31 runs in the last match against Mumbai Indians. In fact, Gill is super important for GT’s cause. Not only he is their captain but the batting revolves around him as well. If he departs early, the chances are GT could struggle for runs.
CSK Probable Highest Scorer: Ruturaj Gaikwad
Ruturaj got off to a slow start in the new IPL season after scoring just 15 runs against RCB. The 26-year-old should come good here considering Gujarat Titans are amongst his favorite teams. He has scored 304 runs against GT with 92 runs being his highest score against the same opponent, which happened to come last season.
GT Probable Best Bowler: Rashid Khan
In 15 games against CSK, Rashid Khan has picked up 14 wickets. He bowled a total of 354 balls in those games and gave away 442 runs. These stats are below his entire IPL average which suggests Rashid hasn’t had his own way against the 5-time IPL champions. That said, this record is still good enough for most bowlers in the world. What we are suggesting is CSK are one of Rashid’s least favorable opponents.
CSK Probable Best Bowler: Ravindra Jadeja
The versatile Ravindra Jadeja is a jack of all trades. He is one of the best all-rounders in the history of the game. On a deck which tends to offer support for slow and spin bowlers, the 35-year-old holds the key for CSK.
