Who won yesterday's IPL match? The Gujarat Titans took on Chennai Super Kings in Match 59 of the Indian Premier League. Titans returned to winning ways with a 35-run victory over CSK as they kept their IPL playoff prospects alive on Friday. (As It Happened | Scorecard)
CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad finally won a toss and elected to bowl at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Thinking the conditions will get better, CSK's plan of bowling first backfired as Gujarat Titans' openers, Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill took on the bowling.
Sudharsan and Gill hammered the CSK bowlers to all corners of the park as the duo brought up respective centuri🌠es. Gill (104) and Sudharsan (103) b♔ecame the first pair to register 200-plus opening partnership in the tournament.
GT registered 231/3 in their 20 overs with Tushar Deshpande being the only CSK ꧃bowler with wickets in his kitty. He took 2/33 in ౠhis four overs.
In reply, CSK faltered badly with both their openers back in the hut inside the five overs. Ajinkya Rahane and Rachin Ravindra were dismis🌞sed as CSK were 2/2 inside two overs.
Gaikwad was dismissed without tro෴ubling the scorers and it was down to Daryl Mit꧅chell (63) and Moeen Ali (56) to bring some parity.
Post their dismissals, CSK kept losi🦩ng wickets and despite some late MS Dhoni blitzkrieg, the reigni🦋ng champions could only register 196/8 in their 20 overs.
