IPL: Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings: Odds, Tips and Prediction

• Shubman Gill: Some cricketers struggle to balance the role of a captain and that of a player, but Gill has proven himself capable of excellence in both duties for Gujarat Titans. In the recent win against Mumbai Indians, entering the match at #2, he scored 43 runs from 46 balls to help his team reach a somewhat defensible total.
• Prasidh Krishna: While it has been argued that T20 cricket is a batsman’s game, players like Krishna complicate that debate with superlative performances. His recent efforts include two wickets for 19 runs against SRH and one wicket for 37 against MI. The pace bowler’s form could be key for Gujarat heading into the playoffs.
• Jos Buttler: Although he will not be available for the playoffs, the English star still has a pivotal role in securing their playoff spot. He contributed 64 runs from 37 balls against Sunrisers, followed by 30 runs from 27 balls against Mumbai, emphasising the importance of big efforts from the Gujarat Titans’ top-order.

MS Dhoni- The rumour mill has been turning recently as the future of the legendary MSD becomes headline news. Amid speculation that the wicketkeeper-batsman will retire after -Chennai’s final game of IPL 2025 against Gujarat Titans, he could put on a legacy-defining performance before finally handing the reins over.

Noor Ahmad- The Afghani spin wizard has been immense this season, standing joint-top in the race for the IPL’s Purple Cap award. In the win against Kolkata Knight Riders, he claimed four wickets for 31 runs and has established himself as a primary wicket-taker. CSK would be looking at Ahmad to lead the attack next season.

Dewald Brevis- With decent contributions for Chennai this season, the South African all-rounder has been aiming to make a statement about his international future as well. He scored 32 runs from 26 balls in the loss to Punjab Kings and then top-scored with 52 runs from just 25 balls in the CSK’s win against KKR.
