Former player Aakash Chopra believes that in the Indian Premier League 2024 match against Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans would like Shubman Gill to bat well and score important runs for his team. Let us tell you, the important match of Indian Premier League 2024 is to be played today i.e. on 26th March between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Both the teams won their first match of the Indian Premier League 2024. While on one hand Chennai Super Kings defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore in their first match of the Indian Premier League 2014, on the other hand Gujarat Titans registered a win against Mumbai Indians.

Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Once again I am going with the captain. Both Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shubman Gill are very young players. Both started with wins so I am going with Shubman Gill. Like Ruturaj, Gill was also batting very well in the first match but he played a wrong shot against Piyush Chawla and was out.

You have to expect good batting from a batsman like Shubman Gill on this pitch if Gujarat has to win this match. The captain of Gujarat Titans will also have to perform well this season and bat with patience. This team has not yet started batting aggressively even though they have an extra batsman. Other teams have started this thing but not in Gujarat.

Aakash Chopra presented his side regarding the remaining players of Gujarat team.

Aakash Chopra further said, ‘My second player is Rashid Khan. I would like to see whether Noor Ahmed plays with Rashid or not. You can play Noor Ahmed in place of Spencer Johnson. This is also because spinners will be more important on the Chennai pitch. The bowling lineup of the team is very good but Rashid Khan will now have to take wickets. He is the king of the jungle and everyone knows this very well.

For Ashish Nehra, the former player said, ‘Ultimately my focus will be on Ashish Nehra. Gujarat has won many close matches and the main reason behind this is Ashish Nehra who has taught the team to live together. He knows how to get the best performance from ordinary players. My eyes will also be on Ashish Nehra.

You see him bowling and you just think, I’m glad I don’t have to come out to bat.” He further said, “I was surprised that India went there (Australia) and defeated Australia, where usually it is very difficult to go and play cricket.
