There is a match between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans on Friday in IPL 2024. Chennai Super Kings would like to strengthen their playoff hopes by winning this match. Gujarat Titans are at the bottom of the points table and are almost out of the race for the playoffs. This means that the team facing Chennai Super Kings is not as strong as it should be and MS Dhoni and his teammates will want to take advantage of this.

Chennai Super Kings is in fourth place with 12 points

Talking about IPL points table, Chennai Super Kings is at fourth place with 12 points. Among all the 10 teams in the tournament, CSK (0.700) has the highest net run rate, followed by Kolkata Knight Riders (1.453). He still has three matches left. If he wins two of these matches, his place in the playoffs will be confirmed. If CSK wins just one match, they will remain in the race for the playoffs, but may face tough competition from Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Supergiants. Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore are also not out of the race yet.

Why a golden opportunity for Chennai

The match against Gujarat Titans is being called a golden opportunity for Chennai Super Kings in terms of playoff hopes. The reason for this is that among the three matches that CSK has to play, one is against Gujarat Titans, the second is against Rajasthan Royals and the third is against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Rajasthan Royals have been in good form since the beginning of the tournament and have played 8 matches. Bengaluru has won its last four matches. Whereas Gujarat Titans team is playing sporadically. She has lost 7 out of 11 matches. This is the reason why Chennai is not only being considered dominant against Gujarat, but it is also being called a golden opportunity for it.
