Strengths & Weakness of CSK & LSG

Gujarat Titans

Strength

Weakness

Gujarat Titans (GT) are the defending champions and that is their biggest strength. 

The opening partners are weak in GT. Shubham Gill needs a strong partner to help him score runs. Wriddhiman Saha, Mathew Wade, and Kane Williamson all seem to have left behind their best days. 

GT has retained their team and Hardik Pandya has proved himself as a capable captain. 

Similar to their opening, GT is also struggling with the third position. This position may become a weak link.

The team consists of many all rounders and their middle order is one of the best. Their pivotal players are Hardik Pandya, Shubham Gill, Kane Williamson, Mathew Wade, and Rahul Tewatia.

GT released Lockie Ferguson ahead of the auction this year. He was one of their middle-over enforcers last year. GT doesn’t have a replacement for his quality. With Mohammed Shami and Alzarri Joseph at the helm, GT lacks a backup seamer to complement the duo.

GT highest total is 199/5 against Sunrisers Hyderabad

GT lowest total is 143/8 against Punjab Kings

Chennai Super Kings

Strength

Weakness

CSK has strong opening pair: Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway. In IPL 2022, the duo defeated SRH by 13 runs in which Ruturaj made 99 runs while Conway made 85 runs

Lack of quality overseas players and bowlers 

Highly experienced core players with a combination of youth and experience like Deepak Chahar, Ambati Rayudu, Mitchell Santner Ben Stokes andMS Dhoni 

CSK's squad consists mostly of veteran players ranging from 30s to 40s, including MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ben Stokes. This age difference may challenge the team to compete with younger sides.

The team has always prioritized having experienced backups, Ajinkya Rahane's addition brings them valuable experience in unforeseen circumstances

Mukesh Chaudhary's injury-enforced absence from the tournament is a major blow to CSK following his impressive performance (16 wickets in 13 matches)

CSK highest team total is 246/5 against Rajasthan Royals

CSK Lowest team total is 79 against Mumbai Indians
