IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report | CHE vs GT Dream11 Prediction Today | Ahmedabad Pitch Report

After so much enthralling action across 73 matches in IPL 2023, it comes down to this. Chennai Super Kings (CSK), in a remarkable tenth final, have a shot at a record-equaling fifth title. Standing in their way? Last season’s champions Gujarat Titans (GT), who are looking to achieve the incredible feat of two titles in as many years.

At Chepauk in Qualifier 1, CSK played the near-perfect CSK game to put a chokehold on the GT batting. Conditions at Ahmedabad are different, so how Chennai keep the likes of Shubman Gill quiet will make for riveting viewing. However, as MS Dhoni and the Super Kings have often showed, when there is a will, there is a way.

For GT, how they responded in Qualifier 2 would have been pleasing. Gill’s 129 was as glorious as it was brutal, but how the bowlers held their nerve amid the Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav onslaughts was also an encouraging aspect of the performance. Indeed, another big effort is required here against a deep CSK batting lineup that can go big.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Chennai Super Kings:

• Ruturaj Gaikwad was player of the match in Qualifier 1 against GT (60 off 44 balls). He also smashed 92 (50) on this ground against GT in the IPL 2023 season opener.
• Gaikwad has struck 564 runs this season, averaging 62.4 Dream11 points per game.
• Can Devon Conway overcome his worries against Mohammed Shami? If he does, he can get going, as he often has this season as the fourth-highest run-scorer in IPL 2023 (625 runs).
• Watch out for Ajinkya Rahane. He has enjoyed success on this ground in the past. In 11 innings, he has scored 425 runs at an average of 47.22 and strike rate of 121.08 in T20s.
• Ravindra Jadeja was at his best at Chepauk. Can he make an impact at Ahmedabad? The all-rounder has made four 20+ scores in a row and has taken at least one wicket in nine of his last ten matches.
• Deepak Chahar vs. Shubman Gill could help decide the final. Chahar has dismissed Gill thrice in 47 balls (62 runs), which includes Qualifier 1.

Gujarat Titans:

• Shubman Gill is in rare form. He has smashed three centuries and a 94* in his past six innings. In IPL matches at Ahmedabad, Gill has hammered 630 runs at an average of 70.00 and strike rate of 157.50.
• Hardik Pandya looked to have found his groove in Qualifier 2 with 28* off 12 balls against MI. Against CSK, Hardik has scored 187 runs at an average of 23.38 and strike rate of 146.09.
• If GT are required to chase, David Miller could be one of their very important players in such a big game. When chasing in the IPL since the start of 2022, Miller has scored 451 runs at an average of 75.2 and strike rate of 148.4.
• Can Mohammed Shami break through the CSK opening stand early? He has never dismissed Gaikwad in the IPL, but has only conceded 46 off 66 balls. Shami has the better of Conway, having dismissed him three times in 12 balls (five runs).
• Rashid Khan is enjoying his most prolific IPL season wickets wise (27). He takes exactly a wicket per match vs CSK on average and can be a factor with the bat.
• Mohit Sharma is coming off a five-wicket haul in Qualifier 2. The seamer has shot up to third-place in the wicket-taker chart in IPL 2023 with 24 scalps.
