IPL 2024: CSK vs GT Bowling Squad Comparison

Both the teams have star-studded bowling squads. The top three wicket-takers were from GT only. The well-balanced bowling lineups of these two teams proved crucial for their continued success stories.

The five-time champion CSK's bowling squad is quite formidable and has big names like Ravindra Jadeja, Mustafizur Rahman, Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande and Shardul Thakur. Deshpande was the highest wicket-taker for CSK in the last IPL.

In the last IPL season, Gujarat's bowling unit displayed phenomenal play and carried a critical role in their team's smooth run to the final. Purple cap winner of IPL 2023, Mohammed Shami will miss the season due to injury. Besides him, GT has bowlers like Rashid Khan, Mohit Sharma, Noor Ahmad, Sai Kishore, Umesh Yadav and Spencer Johnson.

It will be the second match for both franchises in this IPL. The battle between CSK, the five-time champion (also the defending champion) and GT, last year's finalist and winner of IPL 2022 is bound to be electrifying. Hence, a thrilling match, full of twists and surprises, is expected on Tuesday at Chepauk.

IPL 2024: Most Probable Highest Wicket-takers In CSK vs GT Match

Mustafizur Rahman: The Bangladeshi fast bowler has limited exposure in IPL and joined CSK in the 2024 auction. He bagged 51 wickets in 49 matches with an economy rate of 7.92. In this IPL he took 4 wickets in the match against RCB. This highly talented bowler has ample experience in international cricket that might come in handy in this IPL match as well.

Ravindra Jadeja: The 36-year-old veteran Indian allrounder has been with CSK for a long time. He has won IPL 4 times, 3 times with CSK and once with Rajasthan Royals. Jadeja has given many wonderful moments in the IPL on numerous occasions. He bagged 20 wickets in the last IPL in 16 matches. The Saurashtra-born allrounder had 152 wickets in his career.

Rashid Khan: Rashid Khan was the first Afghan player in the IPL history and was a cornerstone in the first global success of his country. Khan is a dynamic and highly skilled leg-spinner and also happened to be the third-highest wicket-taker in the last IPL, with 27 wickets in 17 matches.

In 107 matches he bagged 139 wickets with a 6.67 economy rate, which is best among the bowlers who got 50 or more wickets. He got his 22nd hat-trick in his IPL career against KKR in IPL 2023. Due to his consistency across the years, he will be expected to do wonders in the match against CSK.

Azmatullah Omarzai: The 24-year-old Afghan medium-fast bowler has high expectations of him due to his decent performance in international cricket. He began his IPL career with Gujarat Titans in an impressive fashion as he picked up two crucial wickets upfront against Mumbai Indians in his team's tournament opener.

Omarzai dismissed Ishan Kishan and later Naman Dhir early in the innings to play a key role in his team's triumph over the Hardik Pandya-led side. The youngster is expected to do justice to his talents against the Chennai side.
