IPL 2025, GT vs CSK Live: Chennai Super Kings Strike Early, Remove Gill and Buttler in Quick Succession

IPL 2025, GT vs CSK Live: Even though all three of the top teams have been in an enviable position to secure a top two finish in the IPL 2025 table over the last few days, none have been able to pin it down. And credit to them, the top teams have brought it down to the final fixtures, as Gujarat Titans have a chance to get to 20 points and claim that top spot as they face the wooden spooners, Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

On paper, this seems like a massive mismatch. This is a team that has an identity and created a well-balanced side across the field, against a team that has historically struggled and has issues all over the park. But MS Dhoni's CSK is a team that has suffered from a poor season while fighting for nothing but pride, which can always be dangerous.

They have looked more threatening as a unit since they welcomed a bolstered youth contingent with Ayush Mhatre, and Dewald Brevis, but their tired and stale squad continues to impact their play as they aesthetic change. Can their ageing and wise heads finally combine to create a momentous upset that will provide them with impetus?

GT has had a season that is the complete opposite of CSK: every time GT has lost they have come back with a winning streak. GT lost to LSG frankly very well in their last match, and the team will be looking for a reset going into the playoffs. With stated Test captain Shubman Gill at the helm, GT will want to hammer home their top position advantage to finish at the top, and give themselves two opportunities to reach the final if necessary.

Once they are in the playoffs, they might be favoured to win it all, and that is not a surprise with the high-end quality with the Orange and Purple Cap, but importantly for them the home advantage in Ahmedabad if they reach the final.

Will GT manage to lock up top spot for themselves in this afternoon game, or would MS Dhoni have a couple of tricks up his sleeves to make things a little more complicated for us all heading in the last few days of the IPL season?
