GT vs CSK Live Commentary

GT vs CSK Match Preview

The Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, are in fine form and sit at the top of the IPL 2025 points table, chasing a top-two finish for a direct entry into the finale. With a dominant top order featuring Gill, Jos Buttler, and Sai Sudharsan, GT have been a force at home, backed by a formidable bowling attack led by Rashid Khan and Mohammed Siraj. Their recent performances showcase their ability to post and defend big totals, making them favourites.

Chennai Super Kings, under new leadership after Ruturaj Gaikwad’s tenure, are out of playoff contention but aim to play spoilers. CSK’s batting relies on Devon Conway, Ayush Mhatre, and Shivam Dube, while Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin provide all-round depth. However, their inconsistent season, marred by injuries and the absence of key pacers, has left them vulnerable. The Narendra Modi Stadium’s batting-friendly pitch and potential dew factor could favor the chasing side, setting the stage for a high-scoring encounter. GT’s superior head-to-head record and home advantage give them an edge, but CSK’s experience in crunch games makes them dangerous. Expect a battle of strategy and skill in this exciting clash.

Recent Form

  • Gujarat Titans (L W W W L): GT have been dominant in IPL 2025, holding second place in the points table with a strong top order and balanced bowling attack. They secured a seven-wicket win against Delhi Capitals in a high-scoring game at Ahmedabad but suffered an eight-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals despite posting 209/4, led by Gill’s 84 and Buttler’s fifty.
  • Chennai Super Kings (L W L L L): CSK have struggled, languishing at the bottom with two wins and six defeats in eight games. Their recent loss to Mumbai Indians exposed batting frailties, though a win against Sunrisers Hyderabad showed glimpses of potential. Youngster Ayush Mhatre’s quickfire 32 off 15 balls against MI was a highlight.

Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report

The Narendra Modi Stadium pitch is known for favoring batsmen, often producing high-scoring games. A black soil pitch with some grass cover is expected, offering early movement for pacers but becoming easier for batting later. Spinners may find grip, but dew could make bowling second challenging. A score above 200 is competitive, with chasing preferred due to dew.

Ahmedabad Weather Report

On May 25, 2025, Ahmedabad is expected to see daytime temperatures around 40°C, dropping to about 30°C by evening. Humidity will range between 45-52%, with no significant chance of rain and mostly clear skies. High humidity and potential dew could impact player stamina and favor the chasing team.
