Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill fumbles after the toss in making the final decision. He first said 'BAT' and then settled for 'BOWL' first.

Shubman Gill wins the toss for Gujarat Titans and elects to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings.

Chennai Super Kings can go with Rachin Ravindra as a spin option. He has been bowling well in the nets and the Yellow Brigade would expect him bowl the same way in the match as well.

Reigning champions Chennai Super Kings will host last year’s second-placed side Gujarat Titans on Tuesday. The match will be played at the MA Chidambaram stadium, also known as the Chepauk stadium. The toss will take place on 7 PM IST.

In another good news for Chennai, Pathirana is declared fit for the GT game and provides more options for the Super Kings think-tank. The Sri Lankan joined the CSK camp on Saturday, after being sidelined with a hamstring injury that he suffered while on international duty.

The pitch at this venue is traditionally low and slow. Though Ruturah Gaikwad is new to the job, he has the services of old war-horse Ravindra Jadeja and Maheesh Theekshana to cast a web of spin. Young Rachin Ravindra’s bowling style is also suited to the condition. Apart from them, Mustafizzur Rehman with his 4-wicket haul in the last match showed how lethal he can be on the surface.

The effect of the toss could be crucial here as teams batting first hold a distinct advantage. Seventy Seven (77) IPL matches have been played here so far and teams batting first have won 41 of them which is close to 60 percent success rate. Teams batting second have won 31 and their success rate is close to 40 percent.

Titans should thank their bowlers for bailing them out against MI. None of the batters converted their starts against MI and if the 2022 champions want to make it to the play-offs for the third successive year, they must fix the issue immediately. Gill and seasoned wicketkeeper-batter Wriddhiman Saha must shed their cautious approach with at least one looking to attack from the onset to capitalise in the powerplay. That would allow Sai Sudarshan, Azmatullah Omarzai, David Miller and Rahul Tewatia to bat more freely in the middle overs.

When Hardik departed for Mumbai, Shubman Gill was the automatic choice to lead GT. The young India batter had hit eight centuries till May last year, including a double hundred in international cricket, a century in T20Is and three tons in IPL 2023. Ruturaj Gaikwad, elevated to the captaincy role as Dhoni’s successor on the eve of the season-opener, has impressed on his captaincy debut under the guidance of Chennai's talisman as CSK cruised to a six-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the season opener.

CSK are amongst the most successful teams of the IPL winning 5 trophies in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, 2023 equaling the record of Mumbai Indians. While, SRH have managed one title in the year 2016.

In all, both the teams< CSK and GT have played 5 games in the IPL T20 tournament. CSK managed to win 2 games while GT has won 3 games out of 5. Slight upper hand for Gujarat Titans.
