In today’s match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Gujarat Titans (GT) will host Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The latter phase of Chennai’s campaign will be hit by the absence of key bowlers due to injuries as well as international commitments.
Caught in a mid-table logjam with 12 points from 11 games, the away match against Gujarat will be very important for Ruturaj Gaikwad’s men as they are still not assured of a play-off berth and a defeat could really dent their chances.
With Deepak Chahar and Matheesha Pathirana out of the tournament due to injuries and Mustafizur Rahman back on national duty, CSK’s bowling attack sans Ravindra Jadeja and Tushar Deshpande can at best be termed second string.
A lot will depend on how the three CSK spinners — Ravindra Jadeja, Mitchell Santner and Moeen Ali bowl on a two-paced track.
Yet, the manner in which CSK defended a total of 167 in Dharamsala against Gujarat Titans will give their fans hope of upping the ante against Titans, who have already lost seven in the tournament so far.
A win will take them to third place in the standings, ahead of Sunrisers Hyderbad by virtue of a better net run-rate. Among the three teams stuck on 12 points, only CSK (+0.700) enjoys a positive net run-rate.
