If rain interrupts the game, we will have to wait for the 5 overs match. If that is not possible then the final match will be postponed to the reserve day. In that case, it will be held on Monday, May 29. In the event of rain in the middle of the game, the match will be restarted on the reserve day.

Gujarat will be aiming for their second title in a row. Gujarat is pinning its hopes on opener Shubman Gill. Gill has already won the Orange Cap this season. Gill scored three centuries. If Gill can be captured, Chennai will have hope.

Chennai Super Kings, the four-time IPL champions, have entered the field with a young bowling unit this time. Throughout this season, Dhoni has been seen using inexperienced bowlers effectively. Everyone is looking forward to what strategy Dhoni will devise against Gill today and who will implement it.

For Chennai, Shivam Dubey has been in good form throughout the season, but Gujarat’s spin got caught in the first qualifier at Chepauk. However, this time the match will be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, a batsmen’s paradise. So, Chennai is expecting a great performance from Dubey.

Key players to watch out for

Gujarat: Shubman Gill, Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan are the three main players of the Titans. Things will not be easy for Chennai if these three men rise to form.

Chennai: Dhoni’s leadership, Jadeja’s all-round excellence, Deepak Chahar and Tusshar Deshpande’s opening spell. On top of all this, the Convey-Ruthuraj opening partnership will also be crucial for Chennai.

Potential team

Gujarat Titans Probable Squad : Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan, Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya (C), David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Mohit Sharma, Noor Ahmed, Mohammed Shami.

Chennai Super Kings Probable Team: Ruturaj Gaekwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu, Shivam Dubey, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (C & WK), Deepak Chahar, Tusshar Deshpande, Mahish Thiksha.
