Chennai Super Kings
Gujarat Titans
In the 7th fixture of IPL 2024, the defending champions Chennai Super Kings will host Gujarat Titans on Tuesday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Both teams have developed a recent rivalry as they have met on 5 occasions in the past and Gujarat Titans carry an edge with 3 wins.
Chennai Super Kings lifted the IPL trophy in the previous edition. They finished at the 2nd spot in the point table and scored a last-ball win over the Titans in the final fixture.
For the 2nd consecutive year, Gujarat Titans dominated the league in 2023. Unfortunately, they were unable to pull a win in the final game and failed to lift the trophy for the 2nd consecutive time in the league.
Chepauk's pitch is known for its inclination towards the spin bowlers. Jadeja will get the benefit of the same.
The betting tip is...
Ravindra Jadeja to pick more than 2 wickets in the match.

Chennai Super KingsGujarat TitansSince the IPL 2024 auctions, Chennai Super Kings has been in the news because of the quality of players they have bought. They have a great team with and almost every player carries a good amount of international experience.
At the top order, they will have Ruturaj Gaikwad, newly purchased Rachin Ravindran, and Ajinkye Rahane. Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dube, and Moeen Ali will form the formidable middle order.
Chennai received a big blow as their death over specialist, Matheesha Pathirana, wonβt be part of the fixture because of his injury situation. His void will create undue pressure on the rest of the bowling unit. Ravindra Jadeja will be in the spotlight as an allrounder and his skills to finish the game. Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, and Mukesh Choudhary will form the pace attack of the team.
Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, and Ravindra Jadeja are the key players in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, MS Dhoni (c) (wk), Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Mukesh Choudhary, Shardul Thakur
Gujarat Titans is in the hands of a new skipper after the departure of Hardik Pandya. The young Indian prodigy Shubman Gill will be leading the squad and this can be a major weakness for the whole team. Gill has never been at a leadership stage at a grand platform like IPL.
He has only led his state team Punjab twice. He will also start the game at the top order with Wriddhiman Saha (wk) and Sai Sudharsan. Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, and Shahrukh Khan will form the middle order.
On the bowling front, Gujarat will be dependent on Rashid Khan for spin variations. He is one of the most successful bowlers in the history of IPL and will be a trump card for the team. Spencer Johnson, Mohit Sharma, and Umesh Yadav will be expected to form the pace attack.
Shubman Gill, David Miller, and Rashid Khan are the key players in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Shubman Gill (c), Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Sai Sudharsan, Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, Rashid Khan, Spencer Johnson, Mohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav
This year the tables have turned for Gujarat Titans. They are not a strong team both on and off paper. The team has an inexperienced leadership with some of the under-performing middle order. The absence of Mohammad Shami has created a vacuum in their bowling unit and hence they donβt have a dependable wicket-taker as well.
Chennai Super Kings has come out as a balanced squad with a good mix of domestic and foreign players. We predict a win for the Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday.
