IN PICS | IPL 2023 Final: Top players to look out for in Gujarat vs Chennai showdown
Beware of Gill power!
After what Shubman Gill achieved this season, any opposition would fear him. The young batter is coming off scoring a brilliant hundred against Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2, and his run of form and momentum will keep MS Dhoni and his troops thinking.
Ruturaj ain't behind!
While Gill would have all attention on him, his counterpart, CSK's Ruturaj Gaikwad, is a force to reckon with. Gaikwad is Chennai's most consistent batter from the past three seasons, and having won IPL before, this right-hander knows how to deliver on the big stage.
King Rashid to trouble CSK batters
Off all the match winners in the Gujarat Titans side, Rashid Khan is the one to look out for. The ranked-number-one T20I bowler in the world has wreaked havoc in IPL 2023 with his batting and bowling displays and will play a key role in helping the hosts defend their crown.
