Chennai will play for honor amidst controversies

Caught in the captaincy controversy, Chennai will play to save the honor in today's match. There is a constant atmosphere of confusion among the fans due to the truth of Ravindra Jadeja's mysterious injury not coming out. Captain Dhoni and the team management are trying to handle the situation by making a statement. However, Jadeja has remained silent on the whole matter.


These activities going on outside the field are affecting the performance of the team. CSK, who were reduced to only 97 against Mumbai Indians, will take the field with the intention of showing a better game against Gujarat.

It will be a pleasant experience for his fans to see Hardik taking command of the bowling and batting with full fitness. Gujarat's bowling attack is looking great.
