Gujarat Titans (GT) are hosting Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad today in Match 66 of IPL 2025. In the match CSK won the toss and opted to bat first. 

GT vs CSK playing 11:

 

GT playing 11: Shubman Gill(c), Jos Buttler(w), Sherfane Rutherford, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Gerald Coetzee, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, Arshad Khan, Prasidh Krishna

 

Impact players: Sai Sudharsan, Anuj Rawat, Mahipal Lomror, Washington Sundar, Ishant Sharma

 

CSK playing 11: Ayush Mhatre, Devon Conway, Urvil Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, Deepak Hooda, MS Dhoni(w/c), Noor Ahmad, Anshul Kamboj, Khaleel Ahmed

 

 

Impact players: Matheesha Pathirana, Vijay Shankar, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Ravichandran Ashwin

  This will be a big game for the Shubman Gill-led GT, who—if they manage to walk away with two full points against CSK—will punch their ticket to Qualifier 1. If not, they will have to hope that RCB drop points in their last game to finish in the top two on the points table.  

On the other hand, CSK will also have much on the line. Despite already being knocked out, they need to secure a big win against GT if they wish to replace RR in the ninth spot and avoid finishing last on the points table for the first time in their IPL history. 

 

Ahmedabad Stadium: Pitch Report for GT vs CSK, IPL 2025 

The Narendra Modi Stadium pitch in Ahmedabad is generally balanced, favouring both batters and bowlers. While early conditions support stroke play with good bounce and a fast outfield, spinners come into play during the middle overs. Traditionally, chasing has been preferred under lights.
