Shubman Gill  - Gujarat Titans batter Shubman Gill has been in terrific form throughout the season. He is the leading run-scorer of the tournament (851 runs) till now and the Orange Cap holder. Gill smashed a brilliant century in the Qualifier 2 match and all eyes will be once again on him to deliver in the final too. Gujarat's batting is hugely dependent on him.

Matheesha Pathirana -  Chennai Super Kings pacer Matheesha Pathirana has established himself as one of the best death bowlers in the world with his performances in IPL 2023. Pathirana's unique action, brilliant variations and deadly accuracy make him one of the toughest bowlers to face the slog overs. So far the Sri Lankan youngster has picked up 17 wickets and delivered in almost every match he played. 'Entering Finals In Scooty' Gujarat Titans Head Coach Ashish Nehra, Mohit Sharma and Rashid Khan Enjoy A Ride Ahead of IPL 2023 Summit Clash With CSK (Watch Video).

Rashid Khan - Gujarat Titans all-rounder Rashid Khan is another player to watch out for in this match. Rashid is in the second spot in the Purple Cap table with 27 wickets. He is undoubtedly one of the best bowlers in the world. But what has been more interesting is his ability to score important runs with the bat. Rashid played an important knock against CSK at the opening match of the tournament too. He is one of the most important players for GT.

Apart from these three players, there are quite a few other match winners in both teams. Having multiple match winners is actually the biggest strength for both these teams. In this season, they have defeated each other once. Now another crunching game awaits us in the final of IPL 2023.
