Gujarat Titans, who are at the top of the Indian Premier League (IPL), suffered a serious blow at the hands of Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. Chennai, who are at the bottom of the points table, easily defeated Gujarat by 83 runs to at least have a pleasant farewell to the tournament.
Gujarat's chances of a top two finish have been weakened by this excellent win by Chennai, which is full of young players. Both Gujarat's batting and bowling remained flat. This is Gujarat's second defeat in a row. Along with this, the team was limited to 18 points from 14 games. Before their last match, Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore have the same 17 points, while Mumbai Indians are on 16 points. The
will now be an opportunity for all three teams to overtake Gujarat. Although these four teams have already qualified for the playoffs, their rankings have not been decided yet. So the first qualifier and eliminator will have to wait till the end for the equation to play. Shuvman Gill, who was recently named the captain of the Indian Test team, has not only performed poorly with the bat, but his leadership style has also been questioned. Chennai won the toss and elected to bat first.
In that sequence, Chennai set up a strong score of 230 runs by losing 5 wickets. Dewald Brevis made the biggest contribution to it. He scored 57 runs off 23 balls. He hit 4 fours and 5 sixes. Brevis was the player of the match and hey. Opener Devon Conway also added 52 runs off 35 balls. He hit 6 fours and 2 sixes. Chennai's batsmen attacked Gujarat's bowling attack with open arms. Another opener, 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre, scored 34 runs, Urvil Patel scored 37 runs, Ravindra Jadeja scored 20 runs unbeaten. Famous Krishna took 2 wickets for Gujarat.
Gujarat could only last 18.3 overs in reply. The team was all out after scoring only 147 runs. Opener Sai Sudarshan scored 41 runs off 28 balls. This remains the highest individual score. Apart from him, other batsmen could not contribute dynamically. Captain Gill was dismissed for just 13 runs. Masood Shahrukh Khan scored 19 runs and Arshad Khan scored 20 runs. Shah Rukh hit 3 sixes and Arshad 3 sixes.
Among the Chennai bowlers, Anshul Kamboj and Noor Ahmed took 3 wickets and Ravindra Jadeja took 2 wickets.
Now Mumbai will face Punjab on Monday and Bengaluru will face Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday.
Chennai ended the tour with 4 wins from 14 matches. After regular captain Rituraj Gaikwad was injured, 42-year-old veteran and former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni took over the captaincy of Chennai in the middle.
