Rishabh Raj's video: Live: Chennai vs Gujarat Qualifier 1 Live Cricket Score Commentary IPL LIVE 2023

When: Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans, May 23, 2023, at 07:30 PM IST Where: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai What to expect: A hot evening is in the offing where temperatures will hit the high 30s. The conditions at the venue suited batters early on but the wickets have slowed down as the tournament has progressed. It reflected in the scores made at the venue as the average 1st innings total came down from 182 in the first four games to 150 in the last three. CSK themselves were outspan in their last game there against KKR. Tuesday's game however will be played on pitch , where CSK and PBKS played out a high-scoring entertainer where the home team's 200/4 was chased down on the last ball. Head-to-head: 3-0 to GT. Three games (In 2022 and 2023), three venues (Pune, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad), and three successful run-chases for Hardik Pandya's side. Team watch: Chennai Super Kings Injury/Unavailability: CSK has a clean bill of health and no other reported unavailabilities Tactics & Match-ups: With Deepak Chahar back to wicket-taking form in the PowerPlay, the early match-up between him and Shubman Gill will be crucial to the direction the game takes. Gill arrives with scores of 101 and 104* in his last game and has scored 49 runs in the 37 balls he's faced from Chahar. The CSK pacer, however, has dismissed him twice. Though Ajinkya Rahane has flattered to deceive in home games, he has an admirable record against Mohammed Shami - smashing 86 at a strike rate of 168.63 without getting dismissed. Against Hardik Pandya, Dhoni could turn to Ravindra Jadeja who has got the GT captain out twice in 16 balls and has given away just 18 runs. Probable XI: Ruturaj Gaikwad - Devon Conway - Ajinkya Rahane - Ambati Rayudu - Shivam Dube - Moeen Ali - Ravindra Jadeja - MS Dhoni(c/wk) - Deepak Chahar - Tushar Deshpande - Maheesh Theekshana (Impact sub: Matheesha Pathirana) Gujarat Titans Injury/Unavailability: Vijay Shankar regained full fitness ahead of Sunday's league game against RCB and came in as an impact sub to bat at No.3. Considering Dasun Shanaka hasn't had a lot to do with both bat and ball, GT might turn to Joshua Little, in the XI or as the impact sub. The left-arm pacer, who was away for the Ireland-Bangladesh series, returned to the GT squad ahead of the weekend fixture against RCB. He also trained in Chennai on the eve of the first qualifier. Tactics & Match-ups: Ruturaj Gaikwad has hit 73, 53, and 92 against GT but Shami has found ways to put a lid on his scoring early on. The veteran pacer has conceded just 40 runs off the 59 balls he's bowled at the CSK opener. Shami has also been excellent against CSK's top-scorer this season - Devon Conway - dismissing him twice in eight deliveries he's bowled at him in the IPL. Mohit Sharma, meanwhile, returns to the city where he made his name in this tournament with 16 wickets in 13 matches there. He has troubled Ambati Rayudu in this tournament, getting him out on six occasions in 43 balls and giving away just 52 runs. Probable XI: Wriddhiman Saha (wk) - Shubman Gill - Hardik Pandya (c) - Sai Sudharsan/Vijay Shankar - David Miller - Rahul Tewatia - Rashid Khan - Noor Ahmad - Mohammed Shami - Mohit Sharma - Yash Dayal (Impact Sub: Joshua Little/Dasun Shanaka)
