If we talk about head to head here, then total matches have been played between the teams till now, out of which Gujarat has won thrice and Chennai once. The pitch of Narendra Modi Stadium gives a lot of help to the batsmen. There will be a completely different atmosphere from the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. If there is pace and bounce for the fast bowlers, then the outfield will also be fast. Spin bowlers have a lot of trouble on this pitch.
