Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans will lock horns against each other at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the 59th match of the IPL 2024 on Friday (May 10).

Currently positioned at fourth place on the points table, CSK finds themselves in a precarious position with six wins and five losses.

Their opponents, the Gujarat Titans, are languishing at the tenth spot, making this match a crucial opportunity for CSK to solidify their playoff ambitions.

CSK's journey in the tournament has been a rollercoaster ride, marked by moments of brilliance interspersed with bouts of inconsistency. While they kicked off their campaign with an emphatic victory over RCB in the inaugural match, subsequent encounters have seen them struggle to maintain momentum.

In their recent showdown against PBKS, CSK emerged victorious by a margin of 28 runs, showcasing their ability to bounce back in challenging situations. However, their batting lineup faced some hiccups, with Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube failing to make significant contributions.

As CSK prepares for the upcoming battle, strategic changes might be on the cards. One potential alteration could involve replacing Mooen Ali with Sameer Rizvi, whose performances with bat and ball have come under scrutiny. 

Additionally, if CSK have to defend, Ruturaj might bring in Maheesh Theekshana as an impact player which could bolster CSK's defensive capabilities and add depth to their bowling attack.

CSK's Probable XI Vs GT

Ruturaj Gaikwad (C), Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Sameer Rizvi, MS Dhoni (WK), Shardul Thakur, Tushar Deshpande, Mitchell Santner, Richard Gleeson

Impact: Maheesh Theekshana for Ajinkya Rahane
