In their last match of IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won the toss and elected to bat. Both CSK captain MS Dhoni and his counterpart Shubman Gill anticipated the pitch to maintain its current condition.
According to Dhoni, the weather in Ahmedabad played a role in his choice to bat first. CSK swapped in Deepak Hooda for R Ashwin, while Gujarat Titans also made one alteration by bringing in Gerald Coetzee instead of Kagiso Rabada from South Africa.
In the event of a win for GT, their top position will be strengthened. However, a loss could result in them playing the Eliminator and missing out on two opportunities to reach the final. On the other hand, for CSK, a victory cannot reverse their fate of finishing at the bottom of the IPL standings for the first time ever.
