Toss Update:

The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings won the toss and elected to field first.

Playing XIs:

Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill(c), Sai Sudharsan, Shahrukh Khan, David Miller, Matthew Wade(w), Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Umesh Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Kartik Tyagi

There is a bit of green grass on the pitch, but it looks rock-solid. Bowlers might get a little bit of swing early on. A high-scoring game is on the cards. The boundaries are smaller and the weather is pleasant. Dew might come later, so bowling first may suit the captains at the toss time.

Kartik Tyagi is going to make his debut for Gujarat Titans. He replaced Josh Little in the playing XI. For CSK, Rachin Ravindra returned to the playing XI replacing Richard Gleeson.
