Chennai won the toss and chose to bowl against Gujarat.
The 17th season of the IPL cricket series has reached its final stage. So far 58 league matches have been completed. Kolkata and Rajasthan have almost qualified for the play-off round. There is fierce competition between Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi and Lucknow for the next 2 seats.
In this situation, in the 59th league match to be held today, Chennai and Gujarat teams will play a multi-test. The match will be played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad at 7.30 pm.
As far as the Chennai team is concerned, they have won 6 matches and lost 5 matches in the 11 matches they have played so far and are at the 4th position in the points table. A win in today’s match will see them move back to 3rd place on the points table. Similarly, the chances of a play-off round are bright.
Therefore, it is expected that the Chennai team will show seriousness to somehow win today’s match. Similarly, for the Gujarat team, the chance of the play-off round has already been lost. So today’s match will not have any impact. Gujarat team has won only 4 out of 11 matches they have played so far and is at the bottom of the points table.
Chennai captain Rudraj Gaekwad won the toss and chose to bowl first. Following this, the Gujarat team will play the first batting. Subman Gill and Sai Sudarsan will be the openers.
