In their final league stage match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings will face each other on Sunday in Ahmedabad. GT have already secured their place in the playoffs, sitting comfortably at the top of the table. However, a victory in this final league match is crucial for them to ensure a spot in Qualifier 1, providing them a second chance if they lose. Key players like Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler, who have been in excellent form playing match-winning knocks earlier in the season, will be pivotal in GT’s quest for a top-two finish.

On the other hand, CSK find themselves in a challenging position, having struggled throughout the season. Already eliminated from the tournament, they are playing for pride. They would hope for a strong performance to boost the team's morale and end the season on a high note.
