Gujarat Titans (GT) reached the playoffs for a second consecutive season after winning ten of their 14 fixtures. Four-time IPL winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK), too, have had an excellent campaign so far. MS Dhoni-led will be eyeing a record tenth IPL final.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chennai&#8217;s Chidambaram Stadium, CSK&#8217;s home ground, will host Qualifier 1 on Tuesday at 7:30 PM.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>GT vs CSK | Preview | Team Analysis &amp; Squad Details<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s closely examine GT vs CSK &#8211; team analysis, squad, head-to-head record, and prediction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Gujarat Titans (GT)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Led by flamboyant Shubman Gill, the GT batting unit has its task cut out on a Chepauk pitch that offers plenty of assistance to slow bowlers. The GT openers &#8211; Gill and Wriddhiman Saha &#8211; have a good record in the powerplay. All-rounders Vijay Shankar and Hardik Pandya can take the attack to the bowlers in middle overs. Also, in David Miller and Rahul Tewatia, the Ahmedabad-based franchise has the most dangerous death over batters.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With 24 wickets apiece, Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan lead the Purple Cap race. The Indian pacer and the Afghanistan captain had a good outing the last time they played CSK. With Noor Ahmad and Mohit Sharma providing excellent support, GT bowlers will give a stern test to the hosts&#8217; batting unit. Tewatia could bowl an over or two in the spin-friendly track.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>GT Squad<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardik Pandya (captain)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wriddhiman Saha<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shubman Gill<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sai Sudharsan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Miller<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rahul Tewatia<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abhinav Manohar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rashid Khan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Noor Ahmad<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mohit Sharma<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mohammad Shami<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vijay Shankar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yash Dayal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alzarri Joseph<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joshua Little<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dasun Shanaka<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matthew Wade<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jayant Yadav<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odean Smith<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">R Sai Kishore<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urvil Patel<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KS Bharat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shivam Mavi<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pradeep Sangwan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Darshan Nalkande<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Chennai Super Kings (CSK)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CSK&#8217;s opening batting pair, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway, can overpower a quality GT bowling attack. Conway has scored more than 300 runs, including three fifties, in seven outings at Chidambaram Stadium. On the other hand, Ruturaj has a stellar record against GT, hitting three half-centuries in as many matches. The likes of Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, and MS Dhoni have come to CSK&#8217;s aid on a couple of occasions this season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deepak Chahar and Ravindra Jadeja are the key players in CSK&#8217;s bowling unit. The fast bowler has been prolific in the powerplay, picking up nine wickets in his four outings, while Jadeja, three away from 20 scalps this season, has grabbed crucial breakthroughs and kept batters at bay in middle overs. Young pacer Matheesha Pathirana, too, has a big role to play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>CSK Squad<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MS Dhoni (captain)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Devon Conway<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ruturaj Gaikwad<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shivam Dube<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ajinkya Rahane<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moeen Ali<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ambati Rayudu<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ravindra Jadeja<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deepak Chahar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tushar Deshpande<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maheesh Theekshana<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matheesha Pathirana<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mitchell Santner<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dwaine Pretorius<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shaik Rasheed<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rajvardhan Hangargekar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sisanda Magala<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subhranshu Senapati<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bhagath Varma<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prashant Solanki<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ajay Mandal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Akash Singh<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simarjeet Singh<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nishant Sindhu<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Head-to-Head &#8211; GT vs CSK<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GT has won all three fixtures against CSK in IPL.
