Both teams started their tournament emphatically with signature wins. Chennai has had little discomfort, while the Titans had to dig deep into their bowling reserves. The visitors could be tested at this venue, which has been a fortress for Team Yellow. I am backing the hosts to win here.

Ruturaj Gaikwad has 4 scores of fifty or more in 5 matches against Gujarat (IPL)

Head to Head

There have been five matches between these sides, with Gujarat winning three and Chennai winning two. Both of the wins for Chennai have come in their last two games.

One of those victories came at this venue last season, when CSK defended their total of 172 for 7 by bowling the Titans out for 157. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s 60 and Ravindra Jadeja’s 2 for 18 were the highlights.

Chennai Super Kings Form

Chennai started the tournament with a six-wicket win at this venue against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on the opening night. It was a commendable effort, especially considering MS Dhoni relinquished command less than 24 hours before the start.

Mustafizur Rahman starred with the ball, taking 4 for 29 as Chennai restricted Bengaluru to 173. The spinners kept things tight in the middle overs.

The chase had its share of hiccups, but Shivam Dube’s belligerent 34 and Rachin Ravindra’s 37 at the top of the order led them to a six-wicket win.

Tushar Deshpande had a disappointing day, leaking 47 runs, and could be under pressure from Shardul Thakur. Otherwise, the side looked settled in the first match.

Gujarat Titans Form

The Gujarat Titans started their tournament with a six-run win over the Mumbai Indians in Ahmedabad on Sunday. It was a perfect start for new captain Shubman Gill.

The Titans scored 168 for 6, which was a below-par effort. It would have been worse had it not been for an anchoring 45 by Sai Sudharsan.

It was a win for the bowlers, as the Titans’ spinners brought them back into the game after an iffy start. From 107 for 2 at the start of the 13th over, to win the close match, a combined effort was needed, and the Titans’ bowlers produced just that.

Matthew Wade will join the side before their next match on March 31st, so the Titans are likely to stick with the same combination.

Verdict

Chennai have shown that they are kings on their own turf, especially with their spinners ruling the middle overs. Even last season, they tied the Titans in knots when they played in Chennai. I am backing the home side to repeat the trick.
