Chennai Super Kings' IPL Records and Stats against Gujarat Titans

Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium is set to host the second match of the Indian Premier League (IPL), this time against last year's runners-up Gujarat Titans (GT). Expect an electrifying contest when the two come face-to-face on Tuesday, March 26. Titans, in their second consecutive final appearance (IPL 2023), failed to beat MS Dhoni and Co. in their own backyard. Can they get revenge on CSK's home turf this season? Let's wait and see.

Both the teams have two things in common this time around - GT and CSK are led by new captains and have started their campaign on a positive note. While Ruturaj Gaikwad's Yellow Army won by six wickets against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Shubman Gill and his men registered a sweet six-run win against their former skipper Hardik Pandya's Mumbai Indians (MI).

Opening batter Rachin Ravindra, Impact Player Shivam Dube and left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman were the stars for Chennai in their first match. On the other hand, youngster Sai Sudarshan shone with the bat and a collective bowling effort helped GT to get off the mark. As two of the strongest teams in the tournament are set to clash, let's take a look at five-time champion CSK's records against the 2022 winners.
