Chennai. There will be a competition between the two teams that started with a win in the new season of the Indian Premier League. In the match between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans with new captains in 2024, one team will have to taste defeat. The leadership skills of two new captains Shubhman Gill and Rituraj Gaikwad will be tested in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match to be held on Tuesday between defending champions Chennai and Gujarat.
Both these opening batsmen are known for their artistic batting but here everyone’s attention will also be on their strategic skills. Both the teams will face each other after winning their first match and their aim will be to maintain the winning streak. Veteran Mahendra Singh Dhoni had handed over the captaincy to Gaikwad just before the IPL. Gave a good display of his leadership skills against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
Gill, who took over the captaincy after Hardik Pandya joined Mumbai Indians, also performed well in this new role in front of his former captain. Played an important role in helping his team win. Gill is currently 24 years old and is the youngest captain in the IPL. Their task becomes easier with the presence of head coach Ashish Nehra, who is adept in strategic skills, and experienced David Miller and Kane Williamson.
On the other hand, Gaikwad gets the support of charismatic Dhoni. Under the leadership of Gaikwad, they had a great start to their campaign by defeating RCB by 6 wickets in the first match in Chennai. In the last match of Chennai, fast bowler Tushar Deshpande had given away a lot of runs. He will have to perform well to retain his place in the team as Shardul Thakur and Mukesh Kumar are strong contenders for a place in the playing eleven. The good thing for Chennai was that Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman performed well.
Chennai is unlikely to make any changes in its batting order. On the other hand, if Titans want to win the match, their batsmen will have to perform well. In the last match against Mumbai, its batsmen were not able to convert a good start into a big score. However, its bowlers performed well due to which the team was successful in winning the match.
