Ruturaj Gaikwad’s side had all the bases covered and it was clear that Rachin Ravindra was ready for a platform of 46 off 20 balls, leaving Shivam Dube to unlock his beast mode with 51 off 23 balls. During this period, Gaikwad himself kept the balance with 46 off 36 balls while Chennai’s 206 for 6 was a tough total in every sense of the word. Titans could only reply 143/8 with Chahal (2/28 in 4 overs), Mustafizur Rahman (2/30 in 4 overs), Tushar Deshpande ( 2/21) and Mathisha Patialana (1/29 in 4 overs) tightened the noose on the Titans batsmen for one.

If Gujarat needed a game, Shubman Gill needed to shoot, but his poor shot selection against Deepak Chahal and his pull-up was not as short as expected, resulting in his failure.

After Shubman’s departure, Gujarat didn’t even get a chance to deal with players like Wriddhiman Saha (21 off 17 balls) and B Sai Sudharsan (31 off 37 balls), who were backseat riders most of the time, playing Second violin role. Achieve perfection.

In fact, finishers like David Miller (21) and Rahul Tewatia (1) didn’t have enough power to mount an impossible chase and the inevitable happened. After getting into the batting, Rachin’s powerful knock and Dube’s final knock took CSK past the 200-run mark.

Rachin made full use of the Powerplay and made 46 off 20 balls while Dube, who is a nightmare for spinners, then used his long lever to make 51 off just 23 balls, doubling the challenge for the GT batsmen.

Not to forget Sameer Rizvi (14 off 6 balls), CSK’s Rs 760-crore recruit, smashed two sixes off Rashid Khan (4 overs) 2/49), marking a memorable IPL debut.

Lachin has become a favorite among CSK fans and has mesmerized everyone with his audacious stroke play. Although he once again missed out on a half-century, the team’s ‘spiritual captain’ Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be all smiles knowing that his selection was perfect for T. Three sixes – one flicked behind the square and one over long-on by the ever profligate Umesh Yadav and Azmatullah Omarzai So much disdain, which really put the Gujarat Titans in a difficult spot. There were some crisp cover breaks as Ravindra allowed his skipper Gaikwad to breathe easy at the other end.

In the end, GT’s ‘first-choice’ bowler Rashid earned the first blood, but more due to the brilliance of Wriddhiman Saha, who quickly removed the bouncer after the Black Caps opener was off-balance in an attempt Get out of his crease. Whipped delivery.

Saha’s next stump was much easier as Sai Kishore shortened the length and pulled him out of the crease for an indiscreet dip. The ball strayed far enough that the goalkeeper only completed form.

Gaikwad wasn’t as fluent as Ravindra at first but was brilliant with his five boundaries and a six before becoming Saha’s third victim with the gloves Tried to pull Spencer Johnson but ended up pushing one behind the stumps.

Then came Dube, who struck hard off the front foot, hammering Sai Kishore for two monstrous sixes and sending Johnson’s shot into overdrive. Dub was accompanied by the composed Daryl Mitchell, who also came in with an unbeaten 20 off 24 balls for the fourth wicket with 57 runs in 5.5 overs.
