Today, Friday, May 10, is the 59th match of the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024), between the Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the home ground for the Gujrat Titans, will host the match. The start time of this match is 7:30 p.m. Right now, CSK has 12 points from 11 games, and on the other hand, GT is in the last position in the points table with 8 points. The IPL season is heating up, and today’s match between the Gujrat Titans and Chennai Super Kings promises to be a high-scoring thriller.
Key Players for Gujrat Titans (GT)
Shubhman Gill
Gujarat Titans’ captain and India’s opening batsman, Shubhman Gill, has not been seen in any special form in this year’s IPL. He has scored 322 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 137.60. If his team wants to be in the race for the playoffs, then they will have to win today’s match. The team will need runs from him.
Rashid Khan
There is no need to introduce this name! With his amazing leg-spin and variations, Rashid Khan, who is potentially the best T20 bowler in the world, is a nightmare for batsmen. His economical bowling and ability to take big wickets, particularly in the middle overs, can severely limit CSK’s rate of scoring. This season, he has taken 8 wickets in 11 matches.
Sai Sudharshan
This IPL season, the batsman who has scored the most runs for the Gujarat Titans is Sai Sudharshan. He has scored 424 runs in 11 matches. He is expected to score more runs for the team in this match too.

Rituraj Gaikwad
Captain Rituraj Gaikward, apart from captaining the Chennai Super Kings this season, is also the batsman who has scored the most runs. He has scored 541 runs in 11 matches. At present, he is in very good form. Even today, he can score runs for the team.
Tushar Deshpande

Pitch Conditions
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is thought to have a good pitch for batsmen. It is really easy for the batsmen to produce shots since the ball connects with the bat very well. On this field, however, spinners are successful in taking wickets because of the wide boundary. The pitch also provides some help to the spinners.
CSK vs GT Head-to-Head Record
Both the Gujarat Titans (GT) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have won three of the six IPL games that have been played so far. This was the seventh game between them. All attention will be on the highly effective MS Dhoni.
