Four-time winners, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), are playing in an IPL final for the first time since the 2021 edition, where the franchise beat Kolkata Knight Riders to lift the title.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, Gujarat Titans (GT) will be playing in their second straight final. In 2022, the Hardik Pandya-led side overcame Rajasthan Royals in the title clash to win the title in their first season.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>CSK vs GT | Preview | Team Analysis &amp; Squad Details<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s closely examine CSK vs GT &#8211; team analysis, squad, head-to-head record, and prediction ahead of the final.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Chennai Super Kings (CSK)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Against GT in Qualifier 1, the excellent start provided by Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad helped CSK to post a challenging total. If the duo puts together another big stand for the opening wicket, CSK could post a big total or make any daunting target chaseable. Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube can accelerate in the middle overs, while Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, and MS Dhoni can add valuable runs in the death overs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bowlers put in an excellent shift against GT in Chennai. Expectations will be high on Deepak Chahar to grab wickets in the powerplay. Spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Maheesh Theekshana can stifle GT&#8217;s batters in the middle overs. Young Matheesha Pathirana is CSK&#8217;s weapon in the death overs. The Sri Lankan is improving after each game and will likely play a vital role on Sunday.\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<h3><b>Gujarat Titans (GT)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Led by Shubman Gill, the GT batting unit poses a major threat to CSK bowlers. The opening batter hammered Mumbai Indians bowlers, bringing up a third hundred in four games. Wriddhiman Saha and Sai Sudharsan provided the batter excellent support in the powerplay and middle overs. With Hardik Pandya, David Miller, and Rahul Tewatia in the batting unit, GT could make hay in a batting-friendly Narendra Modi Stadium.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With 79 wickets between them, Mohammed Shami, Rashid Khan, and Mohit Sharma lead the Purple Cap race. Shami, who has 28 wickets, has been outstanding with the new ball, picking up crucial wickets early in the match. No spinner has been more prolific than the Afghan spin king this season. If he picks up three more wickets, Rashid Khan will be the first spinner to reach the 30-wicket mark in an IPL edition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hardik will be delighted that 34-year-old Mohit Sharma turned back the clock. The pacer, who claimed 24 wickets this term, has tormented batters in the death overs and will be eyeing to do the same against his former franchise on Sunday,\u00a0 \u00a0<\/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<h2><b>Head-to-Head &#8211; CSK vs GT<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GT has an excellent head-to-head record against CSK despite defeat in the last fixture between the two teams.
