GT vs CSK, IPL 2025: Toss result and playing 11s for today’s match, umpires list and pitch report

Gujarat Titans (GT) are taking on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match number 67 of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad in the first match of the double-header. This is a top-meets-bottom clash as GT are in first position in the IPL 2025 points table, while CSK are in last place.

Gujarat went down to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 33 runs in their previous match, which was also played in Ahmedabad. Bowling first, they came up with a poor effort and conceded 235-2. In the chase, they were held to 202-9. GT can, however, confirm a top two berth with a win against CSK, which will take them to 20 points. No other team in the top four can surpass this tally.

For Chennai, IPL 2025 has been an eminently forgettable season. They lost their regular skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad to injury very early in their campaign. The five-time champions have struggled in all departments, winning only three of their 13 matches. They would be keen to end IPL 2025 on a positive note.

Today's GT vs CSK pitch report

“The conditions are hot in Ahmedabad. The surface is beautifully covered and there's a nice matting of grass all the way throughout. It will hold some pace in the surface. There is some moisture, but the hot sun will take that out. It should be another good wicket for batting. Really uncomfortable conditions for the side that fields first.” - Aaron Finch and Anjum Chopra
