Friends will turn foes in Rajkot on Thursday night. Having played for Chennai Super Kings since 2008, Suresh Raina will now cross swords with his ex-CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Raina is leading GL while Dhoni is RPS skipper.

Both GL and RPS have made impressive starts. While Pune tamed defending champions Mumbai Indians in the first match of the IPL, Gujarat got the better of Kings XI Punjab in Mohali. Both GL and RPS have top quality all-rounders and it will be interesting to see which team comes out on top.
