Shivam Dube expected to play as Impact Player again: Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans Predicted XIs

Last season’s finalists Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans will clash on Tuesday. Here are their likely XIs.

The Yellow Army received massive support from the home fans in the season opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore where they registered a clinical win to kickstart their campaign.

Shivam Dube played as an Impact Player against RCB.

Titans also started their campaign on a high with a nervy 6-run win over five-time champions Mumbai Indians as the new era began at Narendra Modi Stadium under Shubman Gill’s leadership.

The two teams played quality cricket in their opening match to get the crucial points on the table. The finalists of last season will be raring to play a high-octane clash but all eyes will be on Mahendra Singh Dhoni once again who did well behind the stumps against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

It is going to be a tough task for the Titans to breach Chennai’s fortress as the Chepauk is expected to be all Yellow once again. Skipper Shubman looked in decent touch in the powerplay against Mumbai Indians but he failed to convert the start into a big score.

Titans are expected to play with the same XI from their last match for the Chennai challenge as tinkering with the winning combination might hurt them in the initial stage of the tournament.

Gujarat Titans Likely Playing XI (If they bat first): Shubman Gill(c), Wriddhiman Saha(w), Sai Sudharsan, Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Umesh Yadav, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Spencer Johnson

Gujarat Titans Likely Playing XI (If they bowl first): Shubman Gill(c), Wriddhiman Saha(w), Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Umesh Yadav, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Spencer Johnson, Mohit Sharma
