CSK vs GT, Wankhede Stadium. Gujarat Tians are already in the playoffs and will be looking to hold the top position. Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, have nothing to lose but points. So, we may see a few unexpected changes from the both sides.

Ambati Raydu's retirement tweet made some noise the other day. Later, the CEO of CSK cleared the air saying it was a rush decision by the batter and he needs to clear his thoughts. It is true that Raydu's performance has dipped a little, but that is entirely a fault of CSK team management. They tinker with the batting order unnecessarily and hence the poor performance by good players like Raydu. Today, he may bat up in the order.

Matthew Wade has disappointed at every chance he was given. He hasn't played according to his reputation of har-hitter. So, it is high time for GT to give a chance to young Afghan wicketkeeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz. If Gurbaz is included in the playing 11, Saha can bat at 3.

Hardik Pandya is back with the ball and fans can't be more happier. Pandya can bowl couple of overs today as well, because Shami do not have very good matchups or records against CSK. However, this is a day game and the pitch may help spinners. So, we can see Tewatia bowl his full quota of overs instead of Pandya.
