This is the The 29th match of the Indian Premier League 2022.
It will be played on Sunday, 17th April 2022 at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune.
Pitch Report and Conditions
The pitch in Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune is good for batting in early overs.
The track has even bounce which allows the batsmen to the good cricketing shots.
A score of 180 plus is very likely.
Current form
Gujarat is playing in IPL for the first time ever.
Yet, they have been a real sensation and are easily the best team of IPL 2022 right now.
In five matches, they have bagged four wins.
They are leading IPL 2022 points table and in their last match, they defeated Rajasthan by a huge margin.
CSK began dismally losing four matches in a row.
This is the first time ever that CSK lost four opening matches but finally regained some form by beating RCB in their last match.
Analysing Gujarat Titans
Gujarat has been the smartest team in the auction.
They managed to create a team with the right blend of youth and experience.
Their best decision was to go all out and retain Shubman Gill who looks in ominous form.
But they also have Mathew Wade, Abhinav Manohar, Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya and David Miller to fall back on.
The good thing is that their batters are in great form.
Hardik Pandya has blossomed after being entrusted with captaincy. In the last match, he scored 87 runs in just 52 balls with eight boundaries and four huge sixes.
The ticking time bomb of the GT team is David Miller who looked in great touch scoring 31 runs on just 14 balls.
He hit four boundaries.
If Miller gets going, GT can be assured of victory against any team.
However, what’s even more impressive is the GT bowling lineup.
They have the most balanced attack comprising of Mohammad Shami, Lockie Ferguson, Yash Dayal, Rashid Khan, Hardik Pandya, and Rahul Tewatia.
Lockie Ferguson is in golden form and picked three wickets in four overs against just 23 runs.
Rashid Khan hasn’t created havoc with the ball yet but is capable of hitting form in the later half of the tournament.
Analysing Chennai Super Kings
CSK’s problem is that they are depending on players who are too old or too young.
They have not showed their typical street smartness in the auction that has left the team unbalanced.
The failure to retain Faf du Plessis is truly baffling.
Even in the bowling, the attack doesn’t inspire confidence.
Despite winning the match against RCB, they allowed it to score 193 in 20 overs.
The injury to Deepak Chahar is a killer blow.
The current bowlers are Mukesh Choudhary, Moeen Ali, Dwayne Bravo, Chris Jordan, Ravindra Jadeja and Mahesh Theekshana who was the highest wicket-taker in the previous match with four wickets.
However, fact is two of those wickets came off ordinary balls.
Chennai Super Kings Likely 11
Robin Uthappa, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja(c), MS Dhoni(w), Dwayne Bravo, Chris Jordan, Mahesh Theekshana, Mukesh Choudhary.
Gujarat Titans Likely 11
Wriddhiman Saha(w), Shubman Gill, Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Abhinav Manohar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan(c), Alzarri Joseph, Lockie Ferguson, Yash Dayal, Mohammed Shami.
Who will win
Gujarat Titans is a team riding high due to excellent performances by a number of players.
This shows the team is firing well.
As a result, we feel GT will emerge as winners against CSK though we can expect a tough contest.
