For Gujarat Titans, tackling the slowness of the Chepauk track will be a challenge and how well they negotiate Deepak Chahar's powerplay overs and Matheesha Pathirana's slingers at the back-end, will determine the outcome of the match. Gujarat Titans haven't played at the Chepauk, which hasn't behaved in a singular manner during CSK's seven home games and that prompted head coach Stephen Fleming to raise apprehensions about what to expect.

The spin twins of Gujarat Titans Noor Ahmed and Rashid Khan have formed a formidable pairing in the middle overs this season for the Titans. The pairing as a combination has picked up 37 wickets in the season.
