🏏 IPL 2024 ~ Match N7 ~ CSK vs GT at Chepauk @ 7.30 PM IST🏏 - Page 5

Pitch report: It's a different pitch tonight. Looks a really good wicket, there was bounce and carry in the first game. There's a lot of grass on the surface, unsual for a Chepauk pitch. There are a few patches where there's an uneven covering of grass. The spinners will come into play in the middle overs. It's a bat-first wicket, reckons Matthew Hayden.

CricDude: "GT needs to relook at their middle order. Except Tewatia, all others take time to settle. They need to bring in Abhinav Manohar who can keep the run rate up."

May the best team win as I like both teams

Saha: Playing any format for 17 years continuously is definitely tough, but I have always tried to stay fit. That has been my simple logic. I work on my fitness during the off-time. Also recovery is important. With age catching up, just trying to follow a similar routine. Playing IPL to IPL is not that easy, it's high intensity. So I try to play every format in domestic cricket, also try to play club games. I like the atmosphere here, it's outstanding.

Madhu di, Raji, WD, Vijay sir and Paresh sir, in the prediction page it shows MS Dhoni as captain please fix it

6.55pm Another interesting subplot in this game is the Chennai boys vs Chennai Super Kings. Titans have as many as five Tamil Nadu players in their side - Sai Sudharsan, Sai Kishore, Vijay Shankar, Shahrukh Khan and Sandeep Warrier. Among the quintet, Sudharsan, Kishore and Vijay are set to slot into Titans' XI or XII (accounting for the Impact Player). Sudharsan, Kishore and Vijay all have been part of CSK or Junior Super Kings, their grassroots programme. And back in the day, Shahrukh used to be a ball boy at Chepauk for IPL matches. In contrast, CSK don't have a single local player in their main squad.
