The two best teams of the IPL 2023 league stage – Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings – will take on each other in the first qualifier at the MA. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Tuesday. GT was the most dominant team in the league stage, winning 10 out of the 14 matches.
GT has been coming up with a collective show and they will be looking to come up with a complete performance against four-time champions in order to make it to their second consecutive IPL final. Shubman Gill scored a splendid hundred in the previous match against RCB and the youngster is once again going to hold the key for the reigning champions.
Furthermore, Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan have been amazing with the ball for the Hardik Pandya-led team.
On the other hand, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway have done a fine job at the top of the order for CSK and they are once again going to hold the key for their team. Both of these openers had added a gargantuan alliance of 140 runs against Delhi Capitals and they will look to carry the good show.
Moreover, Shivam Dube has done a fantastic job for the franchise while batting in the middle order as he has scored his runs at a brisk pace.
The Chennai pitch is expected to assist the spinners and CSK will look to take home advantage against GT.
