CSK vs GT IPL 2024 Match 7 Match-Ups: Top 5 Player Battles to Watch Out For

Chennai Super Kings will be up against Gujarat Giants in the seventh match of IPL 2024 at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday.

Both sides are coming off victories in their only matches played so far, with Chennai Super Kings defeating Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 6 wickets, and the Gujarat Giants edging out Mumbai Indians in a close contest by 6 runs.

Chennai Super Kings are one of the few teams capable of performing well in their home conditions, while the Gujarat Giants will look to maintain their head-to-head advantage over CSK after winning three out of their five encounters.

1. Ruturaj Gaikwad vs Rashid Khan

Ruturaj Gaikwad is fond of facing the Gujarat Giants as an opposition, with four 50+ scores in his last 5 innings. He particularly enjoys batting against Rashid, scoring 95 runs at a strike rate of 158.33 despite being dismissed twice in 60 balls.

2. Shubman Gill vs Ravindra Jadeja

Shubman Gill has been in fine form recently and also looked good against Mumbai Indians in the previous game. The right-handed batter seems to have all the answers to Jadeja’s arsenal, scoring 71 runs after being dismissed only once, setting up a chance to score well against him again.

3. David Miller vs Ravindra Jadeja

Miller has a fine record against CSK, scoring 368 runs at a strike rate of 140.45. However, given the expected slow wickets in Chennai, he needs to be cautious against Jadeja, who has dismissed him twice.

4. Ajinkya Rahane vs Mohit Sharma

Rahane is a big asset for CSK at number three, scoring runs in an attacking manner. However, he needs to be cautious against Mohit’s variations, as the experienced bowler has dismissed him twice in 41 balls.

5. MS Dhoni vs Mohit Sharma

Mohit has kept Dhoni in check with his variations. Dhoni has an average of only 16.00 against him after being dismissed thrice, but the fiery finisher has a fine strike rate when facing Mohit.
