GT v CSK: IPL 2023 team news
Neither team has pressing injury concerns, though Ben Stokes has flown back to England to prepare for their Test match against Ireland, and will be unavailable for CSK.
If Shivam Dube has not recovered sufficiently from his finger injury, Chennai may use him as their Impact Player.
Gujarat, on the other hand, might be tempted to include Josh Little. After missing some fixtures in May due to national commitments, Little is available for selection again. He may replace Dasun Shanaka, who has not impressed in his appearances.
In that case, Abhinav Manohar may replace Yash Dayal to add more muscle to the batting unit.

GT v CSK: Today’s IPL 2023 match prediction for Qualifier 1
Chennai will be playing at home, where they have historically been very successful. That said, they have never beaten Gujarat in the IPL and the defending champions have a bowling attack that is perhaps best suited to what Chepauk might have to offer.
Gujarat, in a rich vein of form, will start this game as favourites.
