CSK vs GT Dream11 Captaincy picks:
Ruturaj Gaikwad: The new CSK skipper will be looking to lead from the front now that the pressure of leading in first ever IPL match is out of his way. Ruturaj scored 15 runs at a strike-rate of 100 in the previous game and looked in good touch during his time in the middle.
Shubman Gill: Leading for the first time in IPL, Gill looked for more composed and took good decisions on the field. With the bat, he also looked solid scoring 31 runs off just 22 balls with three fours and a six to his name. However, Gill will now be keen on converting a good start into a big knock.
