Team News and Impact Player Strategies for Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings

The Gujarat Titans have experimented with 22 players, the most in the season, yet to find a winning formula. Their success hinges on Shubman Gill's top-order contributions and David Miller's finishing skills. They plan to rotate Sai Sudharsan, Sai Kishore, or Sandeep Warrier as their impact player.
