CSK and GT locked horns in the finals of IPL 2023, with the then Dhoni-led side emerging victorious. The two sides are set for their first meeting of IPL 2024 at MA Chidambaram Stadium at 7:30pm.
CSK, now under the leadership of Rituraj Gaikwad, brought this season to a good start with a comfortable 6-wicket win over RCB. Similarly, GT secured a 6-run victory in an interesting match against Hardik Pandya’s MI.
However, both teams will be hoping to add another entry to the wins column in the match tonight (March 26).
Two emerging young captains in the IPL, both commencing their leadership with notable victories. Ruturaj Gaikwad of Chennai Super Kings will face Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans at Chepauk tonight, with all eyes on these two leaders as they aim to maintain their winning streaks.
Gill, at the age of 24, holds the distinction of being the IPL’s youngest captain. Despite his youth, he demonstrated his leadership abilities in the match against MI. Gill benefits from having head coach Ashish Nehra, known for his strategic acumen, as well as the experienced David Miller and New Zealand captain Kane Williamson supporting him, which makes his task somewhat easier.
With that here’s a look of the probable players and the winner of the match today:
Probable XI Team for Chennai Super Kings (CSK):
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell, Ravindra Jadeja, Sameer Rizvi, MS Dhoni, Deepak Chahar, Maheesh Theekshana, Mustafizur Rahman, Tushar Deshpande
