CSK vs GT 2023: Strong top order

The batting top order of both teams has been phenomenal throughout the season. For GT, Shubman Gill emerges as the biggest positive, as he becomes the second Indian batter with more than 800 runs in an IPL season. He has smashed three centuries in his last four matches, and CSK needs to come up with a strong game plan against him.

When we talk about CSK, it's again a very balanced team. The opening pair of CSK is one of the best pairs. Devon Convay, so far, has scored 625 runs in 14 innings with a strike rate of 137, while Rituraj Gaikwad is not so behind him as he has scored 564 runs this season with a strike rate of 146.

If rain doesn't interrupt today, we can expect a high-scoring encounter between both teams at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
