Last season, finalists met. Both sides, though, have different captains. Chennai Super Kings have a young Ruturaj Gaikwad, while Gujarat is off to a good start under Shubman Gill, who has taken over from Hardik Pandya. Game one went well for both sides as well, with CSK continuing to extend their good run at home.

CSK vs GT Key Players

Rachin Ravindra

Rachin Ravindra is off to a good start in the IPL. He made a considerable impact in the first game, opening and scoring well against the Pacers to cement his spot in the eleven. With the opening spot, his now, and with some right-handers on the other side, he could make a further impact with his bowling as well.

Azmatullah Omarzai

Batting in the top four and opening the bowling, Azmatullah Omarzai gave a brief but promising glimpse of what he has to offer. He is on his way now in the tournament and continues to show some really good potential as an all-rounder.
