"Wanted to bowl first as well, but it doesn't really make a difference. We have seen there's not much dew here and I don't like to go by stats, If you go by it, batting first, teams have won more matches. We have one change. Prasidh Krishna comes back in place of Sai Kishore," said Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill.

"We're gonna bowl first. Obviously there is some pace and bounce in the pitch and we want to exploit it early on. So that's the only reason we are bowling first. We've got a couple of changes. According to the conditions, Akeal misses out unfortunately. And Gurjapneet comes in. And we got Matt Short playing in place of Prashant Veer," said CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Shubman Gill tosses the coin in the air, and Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad gets it right. He calls for tails, and tails it is! Gaikwad has opted to bowl against Gujarat Titans.

With their playoff hopes inching closer to getting extinguished after a narrow loss to SRH, the five-time former champions Chennai Super Kings will seek to salvage pride in what could be their final outing in this edition.

Ruturaj Gaikwad's men have been pushed to the brink of elimination and require a victory along with other results to go their way to stay in contention for the last playoffs berth.

Gujarat Titans have already qualified for the IPL 2026 playoffs. The team will now fight for a top-two finish, which gives a team a second chance to enter the final of the tournament. If GT can beat CSK by a big margin tonight, they could even surpass Royal Challengers Bengaluru and take the top spot in the points table.
