Gujarat, who debuted in the previous edition, showcased brilliant all-round cricket and ended up winning the IPL 2022 title. Chennai, on the other hand, didn’t have a good season. Considering their overall presence in the league, having won 4 titles, CSK will be looking to turn things around this year.
Pitch report:
The track at Narendra Modi Stadium is generally considered to be batting-friendly with even bounce and a good pace. Though, the pitch tends to slow down as the game progresses, which brings the spinner into play, especially in the second half.
