Pitch Report

The surface at the Narendra Modi Stadium is one of the flat tracks that favors the batters, especially in the second innings. The records of the IPL matches played here also advocate the same fact the team batting second has won 18 matches while the team batting first has won only 14 matches out of the total of 32 IPL matches that have been played here. The captain winning the toss might opt to bowl first to chase down the target comfortably in the second innings.

However, the toss might not have any significant role in deciding the fate of the match as both the toss-winning and toss-losing teams have won 16 matches each out of a total of 32 matches.

GT vs CSK Must Picks for Dream11 Cricket

Sai Sudharsan – The top-class batting performer for GT has kept impressing everyone with his amazing batting performances. Considering his amazing form and consistency at the moment, Sai Sudharsan is undoubtedly one of the must-pick choices in the fantasy team for GT vs CSK match.

Ruturaj Gaikwad – The CSK is one of the only 3 batters in the ongoing IPL 2024, who has scored a century and 4 half-centuries. The other two are former RCB skipper Virat Kohli and blistering SRH batter Travis Head. Coming back to Gaikwad, he is capable of making a big difference at the top of the order for CSK, be it batting first or chasing the target.

Suggested Playing XI No. 1 for GT vs CSK Dream11 Cricket Fantasy

Ruturaj Gaikwad (C), David Miller (VC), Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Shivam Dube, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Mitchell Santner, Shardul Thakur, Rashid Khan, Tushar Deshpande, and Noor Ahmad.

Shivam Dube (C), Rashid Khan (VC), MS Dhoni (WK), David Miller, Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali, Shardul Thakur, Joshua Little, and S Singh.

GT vs CSK Risky Captaincy Choices

Wriddhiman Saha – The GT wicketkeeper-batter could be picked as a wicketkeeper-batter but he has not been enough consistent with the bat so far in the current edition of the tournament. So, he could not be a right fit as a captain of the fantasy team in this GT vs CSK clash.

MS Dhoni – The former CSK skipper and veteran wicketkeeper-batter performed quite well in the initial couple of matches in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024. But he couldn’t live up to his stature in the last two matches. So picking him as a captain of the fantasy team could be a risky move.
