Chennai Super Kings will be up against Gujarat Titans in a crucial IPL 2024 match on Friday (May 10) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
CSK are in need of a victory to bolster their playoff hopes. With 12 points in 11 matches, Ruturaj Gaikwad and co. will be aiming to add two more of those against a struggling Titans side.

Although CSK are playing well this season, there is still a lot of room for improvement. The Super Kings do have a decent record and they won the IPL 2023 after beating the Titans in the final at the same venue.
MS Dhoni, the CSK legend, is having a fantastic IPL 2024. Dhoni has already managed 110 runs this season in just 49 balls. He has a massive strike rate of 224.49 while the veteran is averaging 55 this season. He has so far hit 10 fours and 9 sixes and has looked ominous almost every time.
Dhoni has been batting very low down the order. It was recently revealed that the CSK player is nursing an injury and is playing against his doctor's advice. Ahead of the GT match, the main aim will be to relieve Dhoni from batting, but if he has to come, the 42-year-old doesn't have numbers behind him.
MS Dhoni has played 6 IPL matches against Gujarat Titans and has batted only 4 times. In them, the Chennai Super Kings player has managed only 22 runs with a highest score of 14.
Dhoni has a strike rate of 110 against GT, while his average is only 7.33. Strikingly, he has only managed 1 four and 1 six ut of these four innings. The last time Dhoni batted against GT was in the IPL 2023 Final, where he got out for a duck in the first ball.
