Meanwhile, the defending champions CSK aim to secure a win to maintain their position ahead of other playoff contenders in the standings. Teams like DC, LSG, RCB, and PBKS are still in the race, making it imperative for CSK to secure a convincing victory. The match is scheduled for May 10 at 7:30 PM (IST) at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. CSK enters as the favorite with their strong lineup, while GT, perceived as one of the weakest teams on paper, will need outstanding performances from individuals to pull off a win.
In their previous encounter, CSK dominated GT in Chepauk, led by impressive performances from Shivam Dube and Rachin Ravindra, securing a victory by a significant margin. CSK seeks a repeat performance as they face GT on their home turf. Notably, both teams battled in the IPL 2023 final at the same venue, where CSK clinched a thrilling victory on the final delivery to claim their fifth IPL title. GT must elevate their game and put up a tough fight against CSK.
