CSK, out of the playoff race, are focused on building for the future. Their lineup is expected to feature young talents like Ayush Mhatre, Urvil Patel, and Dewald Brevis as they experiment with combinations after a season of inconsistent returns.
GT's top-order, led by Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler, has been the backbone of their batting. However, with Buttler unavailable for the playoffs due to national duty, middle-order players like Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford must step up. Bowling remains a concern for GT, especially with Rashid Khan struggling for form and depth lacking in the pace department.
For CSK, this game holds emotional significance as fans speculate whether it could be MS Dhoni’s final outing in yellow. The iconic skipper has kept his IPL future shrouded in mystery since retiring from international cricket.

With Royal Challengers Bengaluru losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad, GT control their playoff fate and a win would take them to 20 points, ensuring two chances at reaching the final. CSK, already out of contention, will continue experimenting with younger players like Ayush Mhatre, Urvil Patel, and Dewald Brevis as they look to the future after a disappointing campaign.
GT’s batting strength has been led by Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler—who will leave for national duty post Sunday—making it crucial for the middle order to step up. The bowling remains a concern, with Rashid Khan off form and the pace unit needing depth beyond Rabada, Siraj, and Prasidh.
The game may also be significant for MS Dhoni, who continues to keep fans guessing about his IPL future.
