Final score
CSK and Gujarat Titans played out an intense and close contest as both teams sought to maintain playoff hopes. A win for CSK would have given them much-needed momentum but Shubman Gill’s extraordinary innings and Sai Sudharsan’s spectacular 51-ball 103 run make winning a difficult task for any home team.
Ruturaj Gaikwad led CSK with an unbeaten 84-ball 106, followed by 22-ball half centuries from Shivam Dube and Sameer Rizvi before late cameos from both players. Unfortunately, CSK couldn’t manage 231 for their first innings which resulted in their NRR being reduced significantly.
Gujarat Titans started their reply strong. Reaching 141/5 in the powerplay before Shubman Gill was finally outed by Deepak Chahar for mistimed shot selection when playing a pull shot against a delivery that wasn’t as short. Deepak Chahar took away Gill’s wicket due to bad shot selection on an unexpectedly short delivery intended for pull shots.
However, the home team quickly managed to pull things back with four wickets taken by Mohit Sharma and Rashid Khan before stumps were drawn, restricting CSK batsmen to just 196/8 in 20 overs – Mohit taking three wickets while Rashid two dismissals.
MS Dhoni was the sole batsman to score runs for CSK but could not prevent their defeat. Ajinkya Rahane and Daryl Mitchell soon after fell off quickly as well, leaving CSK fifth on the points table; hopefully their improved net run-rate can propel them closer towards reaching four spots on this table.
