Predicted Gujarat Titans Playing XI vs CSK: Will Shubman Gill make any changes before playoffs? ...Middle East

With a playoffs berth already secured, the Gujarat Titans (GT) find themselves near a top-two finish. However, they must overcome the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday in Ahmedabad to lock in their place in Qualifier 1. A slip-up could push them into the Eliminator — a risk skipper Shubman Gill will be wary of. With a CSK side playing only for pride after their elimination, GT will focus on ironing out flaws that they saw in their previous defeat to LSG.

What to expect from GT Playing XI

This will be Shubman Gill’s first IPL game since being named India’s new Test captain, and the 25-year-old will be keen to lead from the front. His opening partner, Sai Sudharsan, recently earned a maiden Test call-up and will be eager to continue his rich IPL form and showcase himself yet again. Both Gill (636) and Sudharsan (638) are leading the race for the Orange Cap as well. Jos Buttler, GT’s explosive overseas star, will play his final game of the season before returning home for national duty. Expect him to go hard in what will be his IPL swansong for 2025.

Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan were among the positives from GT’s defeat to Lucknow Super Giants, adding a defiant 86-run stand. It was a much-needed boost for a middle order that has largely played second fiddle to the top three all season. Both will be vital, especially with Buttler leaving and pressure increasing on GT’s engine room. Rahul Tewatia continues to be the designated finisher, and although his opportunities have been limited, GT will hope he gets time in the middle before the big knockout clashes.

Rabada to be replaced in his final IPL 2025 game?

Arshad Khan has been inconsistent but remains the preferred pace-bowling all-rounder. He’s keeping the likes of Ishant Sharma, Washington Sundar and Kulwant Khejroliya out of the lineup. Rashid Khan, massively struggling by his lofty standards, will aim to rediscover his magic — GT desperately need him firing.

Sai Kishore, who once warmed the CSK bench for years, is enjoying a breakout season with 16 wickets and would love to remind his old franchise what they let go. However, one change that we can expect is that Kagiso Rabada could make way for Gerald Coetzee after a forgettable outing against LSG. In his four IPL 2025 games, Rabada has managed just two wickets, that too, at a horrendous economy of 11.57. Meanwhile, Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj are expected to lead the pace attack once again despite recent struggles, especially with the new ball. Siraj has taken just two wickets in the last 8 powerplays he’s bowled in.
