The first qualifier of IPL 2023 is to be played between four-time champions Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans. We are telling you the strength and weaknesses of both teams. The opening pair of Rituraj and Conway are in excellent form.
Shivam Dubey is brilliantly playing the role given by Dhoni in the upper order. Dhoni's captaincy is a big bonus for Chennai, his wicketkeeping has also been excellent. The batting in the middle and lower order did not live up to expectations. Ambati Rayudu and Moeen Ali have not been able to walk
Fielding needs improvement. Chennai fielders have dropped many catches this season. Chennai has lost 3 matches at home, it has won 4 here. Need to take more advantage of home conditions Shubman Gill is in tremendous form. He has scored two centuries this season
Shami and Rashid have become a problem for other teams in this IPL. Both have taken 24-24 wickets. Like last season, this time also the captaincy of Hardik Pandya has been excellent. Hardik and Miller have not been able to show amazing performances so far this season with their batting as per expectations. The Gujarat team has not played in Chennai so far. The performance of left-arm fast bowlers Joshua Little and Yash Dayal has not been up to expectations.
