CSK vs GT IPL Live – The Chepauk roared as the Chennai Super Kings took on the defending champions Gujarat Titans in an electrifying IPL clash. Winning the toss, CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad opted to bat first, and his openers Rachin Ravindra and Gaikwad himself provided a blistering start. Ravindra’s explosive 46 off just 20 balls set the tone, and despite a couple of wickets, CSK’s powerful middle-order ensured a massive total of 206/6 on the board. Shivam Dube’s 51 off 23 balls was the highlight as he took the Titans’ bowling attack to the cleaners.
In reply, Gujarat got off to a flying start thanks to Wriddhiman Saha’s blazing innings, but regular wickets prevented them from building substantial partnerships. Sai Sudharsan’s gritty 37 went in vain as the required rate kept climbing. Despite cameos from David Miller and Rahul Tewatia, the Titans could only muster 135/8, falling well short of CSK’s imposing total. Matheesha Pathirana’s fiery spell and a stunning catch by Ravindra Jadeja were among the standout moments as CSK won by a comprehensive 71-run margin, reminding everyone of their prowess at home.
