Current Form: Chennai Super Kings
The Chennai Super Kings were the defending champions heading into this season. They were the IPL 2022 champions who won their fourth IPL title. CSK though faltered in the auctions. They were so keen to retain their aging core that they missed out on key players. Deepak Chahar’s injury added to CSK’s woes. The unexpected announcement of Ravindra Jadeja as the captain didn’t help the matter. CSK expectedly erred this season.
The defending champions, Chennai Super Kings have now crashed out of the tournament. With 8 losses in 12 games, CSK’s tumultuous season has come to an end. They need to play for pride in the remaining two games. They will be wanting to test themselves against the top team, GT in this game.
Current Form: Gujarat Titans
They have been the side to beat this season. Cricketing experts and fans had predicted that GT will finish with a wooden spoon at the start of the season. Their auction strategy remained a mystery. It was expected that they will find the proceedings difficult in their inaugural season. But against all odds, the Gujarat Titans, stand tall. They became the first team to qualify for the playoffs this season.
Gujarat has had an unprecedented run in IPL 2022. At one stage they had won eight out of their first nine games. No team in the history of IPL had such a run. They stumbled in their next two games. But came roaring back against Lucknow Super Giants. Their clinical display against LSG helped them reclaim the top spot and qualify for the playoffs. They will be keen to extend their winning run and secure a spot in the top two.
The stakes:
In what appears a David vs Goliath battle, CSK will be keen to stamp their authority in this game. They will be up against a red-hot, Gujarat that has higher objectives for itself.
