Gujarat Titans (GT) IPL 2025 points table mein 18 points ke sath top par hain, 13 matches khel chuke hain. Unka top-order batting lineup zabardast raha hai – B Sai Sudharsan (617 runs), Shubman Gill (601 runs), aur Jos Buttler (500 runs) ne major role play kiya hai. Sudharsan abhi tak tournament ke top run-scorer hain. Bowling department bhi kaafi solid hai – Prasidh Krishna aur Rashid Khan ne consistently achha perform kiya hai.
Lekin GT ko apne last match mein Lucknow Super Giants ke against 33-run se haar ka samna karna pada, jis se top-two spot ka race tight ho gaya hai. Agar GT CSK ko hara deta hai, toh woh Qualifier 1 ke liye qualify kar lenge. Lekin agar woh haar gaye, aur RCB ya Punjab Kings (jo dono 17 points par hain) apne matches jeet gaye, toh GT 3rd ya 4th position par gir sakta hai. Iska matlab hoga GT ko Eliminator khelna padega Hyderabad mein 21 May ko – aur usmein haar seedha tournament se bahar kar degi.
GT apne home ground Ahmedabad mein kafi strong raha hai. Sudharsan aur Gill powerplay mein quick runs bana ke match control karne ki koshish karenge. Lekin unka middle order abhi bhi thoda weak lagta hai. Agar GT jeet jata hai, toh unke 20 points ho jayenge aur net run rate (+0.482) bhi unke favor mein hai – jo top-two finish ke liye zaroori hai.
Chennai Super Kings ki Izzat ka Muqabla
CSK – jinke paas 5 IPL titles hain – 2025 ka season unke liye kaafi tough raha. Injuries ne unka game bigaada, especially bowlers jaise Mohsin Khan, Mayank Yadav, aur Avesh Khan ke chotil hone se. Wo playoffs se already out ho chuke hain, Rajasthan Royals ke sath. Ab unka aim hai season ka aakhri match jeet ke GT ke plans ko disrupt karna.
Captaincy MS Dhoni ya Ruturaj Gaikwad karein, CSK players jaise Ravindra Jadeja aur Devon Conway pe bharosa kar raha hai – khas kar GT ke bowlers jaise Rashid Khan aur Mohit Sharma ko challenge karne ke liye. History bhi CSK ke favor mein hai – 2023 ke Qualifier 1 mein unhone GT ko 15-run se haraaya tha. Ahmedabad mein match tough hoga, lekin CSK ka irada hai season ko ek proud moment se finish karna.
Match ka Result – Kya Badal Sakta Hai?
Agar GT jeet jata hai, toh woh Qualifier 1 khelega 20 May ko Hyderabad mein. Us match ka winner seedha final mein jayega (25 May, Kolkata). Agar GT haar gaya, toh woh 3rd ya 4th place pe aa sakta hai – fir unko Eliminator khelna padega. Wahan ek defeat se unka IPL journey khatam ho jayega. GT ke pass achha net run rate ka buffer hai, lekin woh risk lena nahi chahega.
CSK ke liye, yeh match sirf pride ka nahi – balki ek chance hai GT ko knock karne ka. Agar toss unke favor mein gaya, aur unhone pehle balling karke GT ke middle order ko pressure mein daala, toh upset ho sakta hai. Waise bhi, Ahmedabad mein pichle 21 matches mein 13 dafa chase karne wali team jeeti hai.
Key Players Jo Farq Dala Sakte Hain
Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill ki captaincy aur batting, Sudharsan ka consistency, Rashid Khan ka spin attack, aur Mohit Sharma ka death-over bowling crucial hoga.
Chennai Super Kings: Jadeja ki all-round ability aur top-order ka GT ke bowlers ke against performance key hoga.
Nateeja
GT vs CSK ka yeh IPL 2025 ka league match high-stakes hai, chahe CSK eliminated ho chuki ho. GT ko top-two spot chahiye taake unka playoff path easy ho jaye. CSK ise ek statement match banana chahti hai. Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad mein GT ka home advantage zaroor hoga, lekin CSK ka experience aur resolve is match ko bahut hi interesting bana deta hai.
Agar GT jeeta, toh unka Qualifier 1 fix ho jayega. Agar haare, toh Eliminator ka pressure unka intezaar kar raha hai.
