Fantasy Value From the Pitch Report

• There has been help on the wicket at the beginning of the innings. But with the match's progress, the wicket gets better for batting. Middle-order batters who like to play their shots could be good choices for the fantasy contests. 
• The pacers who bowl both in the powerplay and death overs could be the most rewarding choices. 

GT vs CSK Fantasy Cricket Tips

Gujarat Titans Heavy Fantasy XI

• B Sai Sudharsan has been the most consistent batter for GT in this tournament. He should be the go-to choice for the fantasy contests. Shubman Gill has had a hot and cold season. If you are going for a GT heavy fantasy XI, Gill could be a good choice. 
• Mohit Sharma has the highest wickets for GT in this tournament, but he has been going through a lean patch in the last few games. Sharma will be a risky choice for the game. R Sai Kishore has been the most efficient bowler for GT in the tournament and could be your go-to choice in a GT heavy fantasy XI. 

Chennai Super Kings Heavy Fantasy XI

• Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube should be the must-picks from the CSK batting. Both these batters have been in fine form and have carried the batting of the team. 
• Tushar Deshpande has been expensive in some of the spells, but he has been amongst the wickets and that makes him an important choice from CSK bowling. Simrajeet Singh bowled a game-changing spell in the last game and could be a decisive choice if you are going for a CSK-heavy fantasy XI. 

GT vs CSK Winner Prediction

If the recent form is considered, Chennai Super Kings should win this game. But Gujarat Titans can pull up a surprise at their home ground.

Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 541 Runs in 11 Innings
• The CSK-skipper could have had a better start to the tournament. But in the last few games, Ruturaj Gaikwad has been the mainstay of the CSK batting and is currently the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament. Gaikwad would be one of the safest choices for the fantasy contests of the match.

Tushar Deshpande (CSK)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 12 Wickets in 10 Matches
• The Indian bowler has bowled some expensive spells but has been the prime wicket-taker for CSK, especially in the last few games. With Mustafizur Rahman and Matheesha Pathirana not taking further part in the tournament, Deshpande will be a prime bowler for CSK and could be a good choice for the fantasy contests.  

GT vs CSK Differential Picks

Shubman Gill (GT)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 322 RUns in 11 Matches
• The GT skipper has blown hot and cold throughout the season. But Shubman Gill has a good record at the Narendra Modi Stadium and could be the decisive pick for the fantasy contests.

Shivam Dube (CSK)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 350 Runs in 11 Matches
• This Indian middle-order batter has been one of the mainstays for CSK in the tournament. Shivam Dube has delivered impactful knocks in most games. But he has had golden ducks in the last two innings, which could prompt many fantasy users to ignore him for the match. But Dube has the form with him and could be a highly rewarding choice for fantasy contests.
