CSK vs GT, IPL Toss Result: Today's match players list, teams & umpires for Match 62
Controversy-hit Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on a confident Gujarat Titans (GT) in match 62 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.
The CSK-GT clash will be the first match of a double-header. The game will not have any impact in the playoffs race, as Chennai are out while Gujarat look set to finish in the top two. However, both IPL teams will be keen to end on the winning side.
After the Ravindra Jadeja fiasco, CSK were embroiled in another controversy when Ambati Rayudu tweeted to announce his IPL retirement on Saturday. He later retracted and deleted the tweet after a chat with the franchise CEO. It remains to be seen how MS Dhoni handles the unsettled outfit.
Gujarat, meanwhile, came up with an impressive showing against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their last game. They defended a total of 144, with leg-spinner Rashid Khan starring with 4-24. GT will be keen to carry the momentum into Sundayโs game.
Today's IPL toss result
Chennai Super Kings have won the toss and have opted to bat first. Explaining the decision, captain MS Dhoni said:
โIt's very hot here. The wickets have been used quite a bit, so it is likely to slow down. Hope it stays the same throughout or slows down in the second half of the game.โ
Chennai have made four changes to their playing XI. Robin Uthappa, Dwayne Bravo, Maheesh Theekshana and Ambati Rayudu miss out. They have been replaced by N Jagadeesan, Prashant Solanki, Mitchell Santner and Matheesha Pathirana. Gujarat, meanwhile, have stuck with an unchanged playing XI from their last game.
