Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are all set to face Gujarat Titans (GT) in a highly anticipated contest in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad. Since MS Dhoni is no longer the captain, he is free to play his natural game and focus on his batting. In today’s IPL match, all eyes will be on MS Dhoni to play a match-winning knock at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Playing in the mix as a wicketkeeper-batter, Dhoni has faced the GT squad five times, including the IPL 2023 final.
Let’s review his stats against Gujarat Titans and see what we can predict ahead of today’s IPL match.

Reason Behind his below average performance against GT
Dhoni has not had an amazing outing against GT till now, possibly due to various reasons.
The main reason behind his poor outing is inconsistency in his batting order. He’s often been relegated down the order, reducing his chances of scoring runs.
Now, with Ruturaj Gaikwad leading, there’s no added pressure of captaincy. Dhoni has a perfect chance to showcase his aggressive batting against GT. He might be the player who could turn the contest for CSK this time.
