chennai super kings vs gujarat titans ipl 2023 final

new run machine gill

Both the teams had earlier clashed in Qualifier-1 on Tuesday. Then Chennai defeated Gujarat by 15 runs. The reason for Gujarat’s defeat in that match was the early dismissal of Shubman Gill, the new run machine of Indian cricket who was running in tremendous form. Gill had scored centuries in the last two matches of the league round before that match. However, Gill made up for it in the second qualifier match and scored another century to take the team to the final. Today, if Chennai has to stop Gujarat from scoring big, then it will have to dismiss this new run machine Gill as quickly as in the previous match. As far as Chennai is concerned, the team has been winning with a united performance in batting and bowling. Devon Conway (625 runs), Ruturaj Gaikwad (564 runs) and Ajinkya Rahane (299) have played match-winning innings for Chennai.

bowlers are in rhythm

As far as bowling is concerned, Gujarat has the upper hand over Chennai. Gujarat bowlers Mohammed Shami (28 wickets), Rashid Khan (27 wickets) and Mohit Sharma (24 wickets) occupy the top-3 among the bowlers who took the most wickets in the current season. All three have played their part very well in the tournament. While Shami has been cracking down on the batsmen in the early overs, Rashid has been keeping a check in the middle overs. Mohit’s job is to contain the opposition batsmen in the death overs. Against Mumbai Indians, Mohit took five wickets in just 2.2 overs to give Gujarat a sensational win. On the other hand, Chennai’s bowling is somewhat weaker than Gujarat’s in terms of experience but the young energy of Sri Lanka’s Mathisha Pathirana (17 wickets) and Tushar Deshpande (21 wickets) has troubled the opposition batsmen.

Hardik has a chance

Through this match, Hardik Pandya will also have a chance to prove himself as a captain. Hardik’s claim is the strongest in the race for the new captain of Team India anyway. If he wins today, then this claim of his will get more strength. He made Gujarat the champion last time also under his captaincy. This time too, his captaincy in the tournament has been highly appreciated. Today he will have a chance to live up to these expectations by winning the title.
